Show Snowslide. The recent fall of snow has made tbe vicinity of Alta a precarious one for ye honest miners who are compelled com-pelled to movo about there. There ii considerable snow at that elevated camp, and falling as the last lot did on the hard covering ef the "beautiful" "beauti-ful" already down, the liabilitiei for BnowijlideB have been increased. One slide occurred last Monday, on the Mayflower hill, iu which ouo man was caught but not hurt seriously, the snow stalling at the foot of the hill giviog it little chance to go far or spread much. Another one took place on Friday, iu Superior gulch, but it is believed no one was hurt by it. It will behoove miners, when they go up after the holidays to look out for themselves and be careful, and although the avalanches come suddenly, sud-denly, they can exercise discretion about the time of day or night to move around. |
