I'M Ml LIES ARE MOVING
SLIDE AGAIN FEARED
| Juneau, Dec. 3—Fearing * repeti
tiou on the great snowgllde of April
isift), when tho Gilbert Mill was
carried away in Silver Bow Basin,
the tenants of one of the apart
ment houses at the Perseverance
mine have been ordered to va
cate as soop as possible.
The house is owned by the Al
aska Gastineau company and is di
! rectly in the path of the old slide.
The principal cause for uneasiness
is the fact that there is more Bnow
at the Perseverance at present
than there was last spring when
the hist slides occurred and the
snow is wet and very heavy.
Eight families have been residing
in the house and they will have to
move to Juneau, as there are no
more apartments for them in the
camp.
The Gilbert Mill was one of the
oldest mills in the Harris mining
district, and was the first mil! to
be built on the Perseverance pro
perty. The mill was not working a t
a' the time of the slide, but the
watchman was baried beneath thou
sands of tons of snow and wreck
age and his body was not found
until late in the summer..
