Appalling disaster at Frank mining town kills many
A tremor near Frank Northwest Territory on a Wednesday morning sent rock from Turtle Mountain burying the Frank mines of the French-Canadian Coal Company across the river. Seventeen men, with about 100 dead total reported, were trapped but some escaped after hours of danger. Rescue efforts found the town damaged with houses destroyed and fatalities mounting, while others escaped with losses at home. The event follows reports of a potential Johnstown-like flood but calmer notes emerged as air returned to the mine and workers were freed.
