Sllverton, Colo. Twelve miners employed at the Shenandoah mine were caught by a great snowslide early Monday morning and swept to their death. According to a report received from Howardsville, the men were killed by a snowslide which struck the boarding house at the mine when they were at dinner. It is reported twenty-onmen were caught in the slide and that nine dug their way out more or less injured. The Shenandoah mine Is located in the east slope of King Solomon mountain, in Cunningham gulch, nine miles north from Silverton. The mine employed about seventy-fivmen and is one of the largest in the San Juan country. The financial loss by the destruction on Saturday of the Green Mountain mill and the Silver Lake tramway line is estimated at $250,000. On Sunday another slide came down on the Green Mountain property and swept away the hoarding house. The men had all come down. A cottage near the Old Hundred mine was also carried away, but no damage to the mill was sustained, although fears are entertained as to its safety, as It Is in a dangerous position. The employes were dismissed Saturday. Horrible Disaster on the Rio Grande Near Pueblo, Colorado.

In a blinding storm which made it almost Impossible for the trainmen to see ahead, two trains collided head-oat a point midway between Portland and Adobe, twenty-fivmiles west of Pueblo, at 2:20 oclock Friday morning. Im mediately following the collision several of the wrecked cars burst into flames and were consumed, a number of assengers being burned to death. Over thirty others were injured, but of these it is not thought any were fatally hurt. The cause of the wreck Is attributed to the failure of an employe of the road to deliver an order, which changed the meeting place of the two trains. Conservative estimates on the total loss of life place the number of dead at thirty-fivRio Grande officials Insist that the exact number of persons on the two trains cannot be ascertained; that it is impossible. P. F. Lively, night operator at Swallows, whose alleged failure to deliver orders to train No. 16 is supposed to have been the cause of the wreck, has been employed by the road for many years. He was relieved from duty and will be suspended until the matter is thoroughly investigated by n e e. the officials. Both trains were running at -- the usual speed, the deep snow and high wind making It necessary to exercise both exceptional care. Suddenly headlights flashed out from the darkness, and it was realized for the first time that something was wrong. According to the story of Fireman J. H. Smith of the westbound train, Engineer Walter Coslett opened the emergency brake and the train was checked for an Instant, but the slippery rails and the momentum of the heavy train carried it on. Immediately after the collision a sheet of fire ran through the cars on both sides of the engines, and In a sound of twinkling the crackling breaking timbers started the men to action. In the forward coach of the westbound train every seat was occupied by passengers, most of whom were homeseekers on their way to the northwest. A number of foreigners were among them and In their terror they gave up life without making any attempt to reach safety outside the burning car. Paralyzed with fear and with prayers upon their lips, they sank to the floor of the car and were roasted alive. The cooler ones In the car, seeing their danger, rushed for the windows and doors, and with the aid of the passengers In the rear of the train and those members of the train crew who were unhurt, managed to reach the open air. Many of them were Injured more or less seriously by tbe rough handling they received or from flying glass and timbers. DAMAGE BY SLIDES. Down Mountain Thundering 8ldes In Colorado. Denver. Colo. Ouray, Durango, Sllverton, Lcadvllle, Aspen and othor mailer mining camps have been visited with snowslldes during the past few days. Hairbreadth escapes from the snow which thunders down the steep sides of the mountains are reported from every mining camp, and grave fears are entertained for scores of daring prospectors and miners who are cut off from the outside world In their lonely rablns far up In the hills. One slide at Sllverton struck the edge of the town, doing ccnslderable damage. The railroads In the San Juan region are blockaded. The South Park road is blocked by a slide near Leadvllle. The mines arotind Crested Butte are completely cut' off from ' transportation. Snow MEET LODGING DEATH IN 5 E CITY DRUG STORE UNO. HOUSE fIRE J. BANKS, Prop.
