Ouray, Colo., Feb. 24, (AP) -- Three persons were known to have been killed and at least 40 others were trapped today by a snow avalanche three miles long which wiped out the mill and one bunkhouse at the Camp Bird gold mine, eight miles from Ouray. Those trapped were inside the mine.
The body of Mrs. Rose Isreal, camp cook, was found late today. Cappy Woods, a miner, and Ralph Klinger, camp blacksmith, were with her when the slide struck. "There is no doubt but that both were killed," said George F. Warren, manager of the Ouray Telephone company. "They were caught in the heaviest part of the slide."
The trapped men had been imprisoned 12 hours while rescue workers from Ouray and the surrounding country dug through 10-foot snow drifts.
