Show - Packed In Snow Dead. ' Denvkb December 23. A Silverton special to the News says: The bodies of Burke Harvey and J. M. Scales, the two miners imprisoned in the Prodigal Son mine, in San Juan county, in yesterday's snowslide were found late last night at the bottom of the shaft dead. Both were packed in snow as in a mould. Harvey was found standing six feet from the bottom on a piece of timber. Scales was standing at the bottom of the shaft, with a candle in his left hand and with the right over his eyes shading them and looking up, as though to see what was coming down the mine. From appearances, death was instantaneous. Scajes is from Orange, Texas, and Harvey is from Woodstock, Wood-stock, New Brunswick. |
