TDIRME PERISHED
Snow-Slide on Chilkoot Trail
Carries Death Before It
MANY PERSONS VIEKi ISJCBED
The Avoidant Occurred Between The
8 cm las and SHonaa Us
f Kaowai Dead.
Port Townsend, April 11. A letter
just received from Skagway, Alaska,
dated April 3, says; At about noon to
day on the Chilkoot trail, between The
Scales and Stonehonae, at least 31 men
met death and a large number of other
were injured more or less seriously in a
enowsiide. The dead were crushed
under an avalanche of snow and ice
which came down fiom tie mountain
aide upon the left aide the trail
about midway between The Scales and
Stonehouse.
A list of the killed and wounded, as
complete a possible at the hour of
writing, is as follows:
One E. Zebarth, Seattle. .
Frank Sprague, Seattle.
Steve Stevenson, Seattle.
C. II. Harrison, Seattle.
W. I Riley. Seattle.
a D. Atwood, New York.
a Beck, Sanford, Fla.
L. Weidelein, Kansas City.
Mra. Ryan, Baltimore.
John Morgan, Emporia, Kan.
F. M. Grimes, Sacramento.
Mrs. Anna Moxon, Jefferson county,
Pa.
Baa Hepgard, Baker City, Or.
. Atkina Idaho.
: Tom Ueffert, Seattle.
E. F. Miller, Vancouver, Wash.
; Tom Collins, Portland, Or.
T. Lamer.
The seriously injured so far leoovered
are:
Walter Chappey, New York.
John C. Murphy, Dixon, N. D.
F. M. Holbrooke, Portland, Or.
. Pablstrom, residence unknown.
Fully 60 people were overtaken by
the slide, and are either buried in tbe
snow or scattered along the borders of
the avalanche in a more or less injured
condition.
The point at which the accident oc
carred ia some five mile above Sheep
Camp. Tbe nearest telephone station
ia four miles distant. Tbe Scales ia
some five miles above Sheep Camp.
The telephone wires at that point were
carried away by tbe slide. This fact
makes it difficult to obtain further par
ticulars at this time.
A blinding snow storm was raging
all day anon the summit, and as a con
sequence many of those in the vicnity
were making no attempt to travel
Zebarth, Sprague and Stevenson, of
Seattle, were traveling together as
partners, and were found side by side
in bed.
Thousands of people were encamped
in the vicinity at tbe time, and were
soon on the scene rendering such assist
ance as was poesilbe. Upon reueipt of
the news, points below Dyea telephoned
up to know if assistance waa required,
and received answer to the effect that
5,000 people were at work on tbe
debris, and were only in each other'
way.
All day Saturday and. Sunday a
southerly storm, with chinook wind,
rain and snow, prevailed in this vicin
ity, and it ia believed tbe softening of
the snow on tbe mountain aide by
those agencies was tbe cause of the
avalanche.
The quantity of snow and ice that
came down in the slide is estimate-) at
thousands of tons. It swept directly
across the trail, which, notwithstand
ing the fact that the weather was un
suitable for travel, wa thronged with
wayfarers. . Tbo last vestige of the
trail in the vicnitr was wiped out of ex
istence, and where it led is now a
mountain of snow and ice.
Later reports bring the information
that 81 bodies have been recovered.
There waa a preliminary slide at 1
o'clock in the morning. People were
digging out their goods when tbe sec
ond slide occurred about noon.
1.1st of Injursd Iaerasscd. '
A later dispatch via Victoria says:
The horror of the Dyea trail is growing
in magnitude hourly. As the work of
rescue proceeds, it becomes more ap
parent that many more lives were lost
than at first thought possible. It is
now believed that between 50 and 100
men and women were killed by the
avalanche. Many bodies will not be
recovered until tbe summer sun melts
ton of snow and ice that now bury
them from sight.
Two or tbree thousand men are
working in relays of as many as can
stand side by side shoveling away the
now in search of tbe dead and dying.
Twenty-two dead bodies have been re
covered and identified, and 26 person
have been taken out alive.
Seventeen employes of the Chilkoot
Railway & T'am Company, who went
to tbe summit on the morning of the
elide to work, aie missing, and it la
feared they are among tbe lost..
It ia estimated that 10,000 tons of
outfits are buried under the snow and
ice. Tbere weie smaller slides before
the death-dealing avalanche was started.
About 3 A. M. a small slide occuried,
which buried several cabins. The
alarm was spread, and many people
were endeavoring to work back to Sheep
Camp when the big disaster occurred.

that some of these succeeded in cros

' A fact that lends horror to the fearful
tragedy is that it may never be known
with any degree of accuracy just how
many live were sacrificed, who they
were or where they came from. Many
a poor fellow ties boned where no
human aid can reach him, and where
his remains must rest until the sum-
met sun melts the tons of snow and ice
under which be lies buried.
Upon the crowded trail no record waa
kept of tbe living, toiling mass, brav
ing hardships and facing death itself
In tbe mad rush for gold. In the pro-
session that daily passed were people
from all parte of the world, unknown
to one another.
The work of rescue has continued
night and day ever since last Sunday,
being gradually systematixed and con
sequently meeting with better results.
Thus far the work has been confined to
the outskirts of the slide in the hope of
rescuing those who are injured, but
not yet dead. Tbe main portion of the
avalanche, which is estimated to be 50
feet deep and 160 yards long, has not
yet been touched. If there are any
bodiea underneath they cannot be res
cued in time to save life.
Four men were taken out alive after
tbev had been buried for 19 hours. In
many instances the bodies ot the dead
are not bruised in the least, and appear
aa natural aa in life, indicating that
they were au (located in the soft snow.
As soon aa recovered, the bottles aie
carried to Sbeep Camp, where an im
provised morgue has been constructed.
Some have been removed for interment
or for shipment to relative in the
The work of rescue ha been orderly
and systematic A public meeting waa
held and committees were appointed to
search for tbe dead and care for the
wounded. All that can possibly be
done to relieve tbe horror ol the situa
tion has been done.
The accident was one that could not
have been foreseen, and it ia one that
ia likely to happen at any time when
like conditions exist, although it is
stated that some warning of the im
pending disaster waa given by the In
dian packers, who are said to have de
serted tbe trail when the heavy snow
of Saturday and Sunday night set in.
They refused to work for fear of slides.
Tbe work of searching lor the dead
is to be continued as long a there i
any hope of recovering any one, though
it ia feared that it must be discontinued
before the' whole truth is known.
Walter Chappey, of New Yoark, and
John C. Murphy, of Dixon, N. D., were
alive when taken out, hot died shortly
afterward.
Mra. Moxon was in one of the small
slide which preceded the large one,
and was on tier way to camp when
overtaken by death. Her husband was
rescued.
The federal troops at Dyea took an
active part in digging out the dead.
Many dead that were unclaimed nave
been buried near the scene of the dis
aster. Thirteen bodies reached this
city today on the steamer City of Se
attle and Australia. They were those

Advices from . Skagway state that
there are manv wild rumors there about
additional slides,- attended by loe ol

and tbey are not credited.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER
frada Conditions la tha Loadlnc Cities
or lha World.
Leiter furnished proof lust week of
the most convincing kind that hi
wheat deal is to be carried through to
the lat dv ff Mv. An enormous
loan wa made 19,000,000 of the
choicest securities being Med. The
amount borrowed wa away beyond any
nresent necessities; but the wheat bull
decided it wa better financiering to
pay interest ou unused fund than to
risk a demoralised money market at
the very moment when borrowing
might be necessary. Laiter now ha
the funds in bank to pay for any possi
ble wheat deliveries during the next 60
days. As important a the flnanoial
arrangement wa the completion Of
plan to hurry the grain con trolled by
him abroad and 4nto consumption.
Every bushel of contract wheat now at
Chicago will be on It way to Europe
within the next four weeks. Up to
the middle of March the railroads were
loading Letter wheat out of only one
system ot elevators the Armour. The
closing of additional shipping con
traots with the east-bound road tor
8,000,000 bushels started loading at
every elevator system in the city. On
on day last week, ears were taking
wheat simultaneously at the Armour,
the Wears, 4he Counse'man, the Na
tional, the Central and the Keith
houses. That mean the all rail ship
ments of 3,000,000 bushels per week.
Some day this week, unless the open
ing of navigation is delayed beyond (he
expectation, the fleet of 30 vessel
carrying 1,700.000 bushel of the Lei
ter wheat will start down the lakes
toward Buffalo. Weather permitting,
8,000,000 bushels of wheat will atart
from Chicago this week eastward; will
be at the seaboard by April 16, and
will be off coast abroad by May 1
This Leiter movement ot cash grain,
now under way tor 60 days, is evident'
ly going straight into consumption
without at all demoralising the foreign
market. Th spot No. 1 Northern at
Liverpool Saturday waa ?s lid, equiva
lent to 31.14 per bushel there, and
which mean better than 95o here in
Chicago; and the spot Kb. 8 red there
Saturday wa ? TWd, which at the low
rates of freight paid by Leiter, is better
than 90c at Chicago. Leiter has been
making sale at figures better than
these.
