Press Hunt For Six Snowslide Victims. Press Hunt for Six Snowslide Victims SEWARD, Alaska.— —Governor John W. Troy today from Juneau ordered all resources of the territory pressed into a search for six miners feared killed in a gigantic snowslide Monday night on Lynx creek, 37 miles from Moose pass, north of here. No trace of the men has been found. Meagre reports which have come down from the isolated region have not included the names of the missing men. The miners, thought to be from Seattle and Oregon, were employed by H. C. Cooper, Seattle, who escaped the slide.
