ROCKS FAIL
INTO VALLEY
Tht* heavy rain£all during the)
nag* thrte days ha®-caused.'a great,
mauy tccJc andearthJ slides along
'he east 6ide of the 'Slcagway val
ley, and yesterday .gne of unusual
mngultv.de, waa almost, the cause'of
tho destruction of the -native vil
lage whicu is situated alongside 'of
thn bluff railway tracks about eveu
with the approach td the wharf.;
It was only owing to .the bench
wRich is immediately above ;the
village that the natives were saved j
from a total destruction of 1 their |
homes. Hugo rodks, • some' of j
which weighed1 hundreds of -tons ,
wer< washed loose from their -fast- j
lie?3 in the mountainside, and came
or&shing dotwnj the Bteepj decline,
but the Qiatqau just above
'he B'te 'otf the village acted as an
abutrptnt, and1 the rocks and gravel
lodged there. ' i
Several otheif slides along the
oast tldge have'been) reported, but
no serious damage was dine.
Fire for a time, -a few djays ago,
according to the Juneau 'Empire,
threatened 'to destroy the! gas boat
Pacific, but prompt *worik'on the
uari of 1 the Juneau FiTe Depart
ment saved thg 'craft. ' The exact
«aufe cf the fire is not known but
it was '(n "the bilge and is' said
to have started1 from an overheated
sftfve 'whdle drying the interior of
the boat. The alarm was sent in
and 'he 'detpartment responded.
The fire was -put out after four
Pyrenes and one handj1 chemical
