BINGHAM CANYON, Utah,
Feb. 18. — (LP) — A heavy pall
of smoke and fog settled over
this little mining town today as
small groups of relatives of those
dead or unaccounted for huddled
near the burled buildings.
The tragedy yesterday was the
worst in the history of the state
when a gigantic snow slide swept
down the steep mountainside and
swept through the town, wreck­
ing buildings and burying them
under many feet of snow and
earth. ,
The death toll was known to
be as high as 36 today.
The
missing people are estimated at
between 30 and 40. It will be
several days yet before a com­
plete check of fatalities can he
made.
