Repetition of Recent Acct4cal May Oc
cur at Any Time.
Ottawa, Ont, May 27. Messrs. IL
W. Drock and R. P. McConnell, tho
geologists who wero sent to report on
tho causo of the landslide at Turtle
Mountain, which wiped out the town
of Frank, have submitted a prelimi
nary reoort to Blr William Mullock.
acting minister of the Interior. -iis3&
Mr. McConnell estimates that be-
twecn 60.000,000 and 80,000.000 tons
of rock fell, tho dobrla of which
covers almost two square miles. The
lido Is attributed to tho steepness of
tho mountain and tho ahattorcd con
dition of tho rock. This waa due to.
"faulting" and crushing of tho rock
during tho process of mountain build
ing. Heavy rainfalls pouring through
tho fissures tended to open them still
further.
The accident waa locally hastened
by a creep In tho coal mlno which
caused a Jar. Tho mountain where
the slip took place Is very badly frac
tured and is now supping down con
tinuously In small pieces. Thero is
danger of another slide, as somo ot
Uio fractures extend back 600 or 600
feet from tho faco, and If theso were
to open another bulk would como
down.
Mr. McConnelLtblnka that thoro will
always bo moro or less risk In living
at Frank and that tho peoplo should
movo as soon as possible.
