he knows one is coming by the terrible
roar it makes, which can be heard at a
long distance.. - • One of these` slides swept over a mine
called the "Anna," last Tuesday, killing
four men. The- mine was working six
men, on eight hours' shifts, Which neces-
sarily kept two men at work, while four
were either sleeping or resting. Their
cabin, or rather boarding house, immedi-
ately in frout of the tunnel they were
running was built very stroizg, and con:-

sid-%red safe from slides. At 12 o cloc
at night the shifts were changed, and the
two. men whose duty came on left two of
the men in the house asleep, and the
other two sitting up at the fire. One
hadcommenced writing a letter, and
the other was sitting on a stool smoking
his pipe.,
The two men had just reached the face
(or back end of the tunnel, which was in
a distance of 400 feetl, and one had
raised the sledge to strike the drill, when
they heard the roar of the slide.. They
ran back to the mouth, which thle slide
had ran. over,.leaving it filled with about
five feet, of snow, which they had: to dig
through, and, on getting out, found noth-
ing in sight. -The house was swept
away completely. They raised an alarm
as soon as possible, and, getting word up
to the mine called. the Prince of
Wales," which was running about 100
hands,: they all turned out and com-
menced digging for the house, which was
not found until late the next morning.
It had been carried down the mountain
abGut 2,000 feet,. with about 30 feet of
snow on top- of it.
Four men inside were found just as
the other two had left them. The snow
had broken through the roof, and had en-
veloped them so suddenly that they had
not moved. They were not bruised in
any way, but had been suffocated. The
man sat there at the table in the act of
writing, the inkstand not . -even having
tipped over, but the man smoking had
probably heard it coming one second be-
fore he 7was struck,. as his pipe lay
between his feet. There they sat, mould-
ed in the snow, looking as perfectly
natural as if alive. The two men in bed
could not even have waked up—they lay i
in their beds with -the blankets over
them as smoothly as if just laid on. The
menwho helped dig them out, and who
brought thebodies into the city, said
that lay the looks or the men they
couldn't have awakened at all:
