NEAROJUNEAU
Ihc damage done by the enow
slides on Friday^ Jan. 26, in 'he
r Las4. Chance ami Sheec Creek Ba

day aiternoom and last night 'rain
com muni cation with the mine was
also reestablished.
Th® slide in the Sheep Creek
Basin is the largest which has oc
curred there for at least 50 years.
Cot< on wood and gpruce trees stand

1 which are at least that old were
, carried away by the slide.
The slide was 1300 feet wide and
yetween 20 and. 60 feet in depth
covering tha track of the Persever
isnce-Tliane roadway to a depth of
20 leet or more, and carrying away
che snow shads i>£ the company and
the trolley lines.
larees in the basin for mamy years
because large trees standing oa the
uppet side of our track, and which
must have been there at least 50
years, were carried, arway. It seemed
as all the snow; on the entire
mountain on the north side of the
Basin let go at once.
"We built our tracks on a thirty
fcot fill foreseeing that some small
slides would come down the side of
toe mountain. We expected a little
trour.e and that small slides would
,'>urcb through the snow shed at
olaces, but we did not expect any
thing like what happened. We had
n reason to look tor a plicle of that
magn'lude and do not expect an
other one of that size for many
years, if at all. If out track had
been twice its height }t would, not
nave been high enough," it said.
The 'first slide occurred on the
aide oJ Mt. Juneau at nine o'clock
between Juneau and the flume of
t*o wafer company at this end of
Last Chance Basin. The Bnow is
piled for a depth of eighty or nine
ty feet in Gold Creek at the bot
tom of the gulch. This slide car
ried a.way the flume of the power
comDa^iy.
Tin? compression of the air from
this slide did the greatest damage
as i' carried out the sidewalk along
the road to the Basin and picked
uo four cabins and distributed them
over the mountainside above the
roadway, in places hUIL<lre<hs of feet
from the point where the caljins
stood. . ; !
Th? second glide which, occurred
about tea o'clock was the largest of
t'»: t w o. This elide carried away th«
rocii crusher of the cify and also
'he powjer and telephone lines of
th° Uastineau company for over a
thousand feet. It also blocked the
Perseverance roadway .to a depth, of
f»Oor it ore feet. This slide swept
or»-.r *ae concrete powder Jiou,j of
tbc Ebner company, and as far as
known, without damage to the
structure.
The a\r froin the first slide caus
e«' the collapse of the four carina
in »h* gulch. The roof of one
cab'n, was carried for a dist&nce of
200 feet along: the Bide of the
•mountain and deposited, while the
walls, o" the cabin were blown, out
and splintered to match wood. An
other cabin which Wats below the
roadway above the big turn, waa
carried i'or 100 feet up the Bide of
tk? mountain and deposited above
U-c readway. The stove which was
in the bouse followed the building

When the largo elide occurred
Dear 'he Ebner this morning and
cirried cu tthe cole line, causing
the interruption in the electrical
service, linemen were started, out at
one, to locate t]ie trouble, while
following the line along', and when,
near the Red Mill a large section of
the snow, 300 feet in width, let
go and carried two of the men,
.Maurice Rasmussen and Benjamin
Grout away; with it.
body of Benjamin Grout,
wnicli was found Friday, was tak
en sou'h on tlig City of Seattle.
Mrs. Grout, wife of the dead mam,
and who -resided in Douglas, ac
companied the remains.
! As far a can be learned Rasmus
»°a was unmarried and learns so
relatives in this section.
The search for the body of Mau
rice Rasmussen, is being continued
ali.bcu? the men haTe about giv
en up hope of finding any trace of
the man. The slide has packed, and
congealed until it is like solid ice
a.ad It is almost impossible to make
any headway. It is possible that
tie search will be abandoned if the
bo.dy " not found today.
