OUT AND TAKE OFF THE,
Lonesome Mine Hit
By Huge Snow slide
A regular granddaddy of a
snowslide, which swept the
flanks of a neighboring moun
tain as clear of snow as though
it were September, buried bunk
houses and equipment at Lone
some mine under 20 feet of snow
recently, it was reported last
week.
The mine, formerly known as
the Gold Mint mine, was being
readied for spring working by
Lloyd Hill and Glenn and Chuck
Cope. They estimate that actual
work at the mine, which was
scheduled to begin on June 1,
has been set back a year as the
result of the slide.
The slide roared down the
mountainside at 4:30 in the
morning of Feb. 2. It snipped the
mine’s bunkhouse neatly in two
and then swept on across the
clearing, but failed to do any
1 damage to the mine’s porthole.
No one was injured in the ac
cident and the cookhouse and
mining machinery were undam->
aged. Many of the supplies cov-1
ered by the slide were later sal-!
vaged.
