steep mountain sides along the eastern
slope of the Sierra Nevadas afford
great facilities for avalanches, especially
during q Winter like the present, and
not unfrequently are destructive to
human life and property. Over beyond
washoe City, during the recent terrible
storm, a wood-chopper's cabin was thu

10 have been buried 10 or II days ago,
az fur about that time no smoke was

his cabin was situated. Fearing that
he had me, with some accident, a party

lied. The cabin had been swept away
and demolished, and after q long search
they found the dead body Of Copeland,
buried under about IL feet Of snow.
His neck and one leg were found to
have been broken. He was doubtless
killed almost instantly. The remains

HALE / NoRcRoss SrRIKE.-We I'M
derstand that the Hale / Norcross Co.
Mt their new s3O-foot level, in drifting
further west, have just struck u largo
body Of water, rs we'll rs opened out
an extensive deposit Of very good ore.
This new strike is probably in the main
Comstock ledge, west Of the smaller
pay streak they cut through the other
dav, and in the vicinity Of the wines
sunk for the lower level Of the old
workings. These wines were sunk to
the depth of fifty feet, encountering the
very same body of water now tapped
by the drift from the new shaft. From
all we can learn, the recent rise in the
Hale / Norcross stock is based upon
pretty good prospects, and finding e1-
t~ensive bodies Of good ore at that depth
Is certainly Of the utmost Importance
to not only the whole Comstock ledge,
but to the interests Of the State at
large.
