OCCIDENTAL. MINE.-An effort Is be-
ing made by the stockholders Of this
mine, says the Enterprise, to resume
operations. They expect soon to be
able to pay off the small bills which
are standing against them, and those
to whom large sums are due having
signified their willingness to- wait, they
think they may be able to go to work
again ut no distant day. Persons who
originally paid assessment No. 2, OF
So, which was rescinded, have 50 so
credited to them on assessment No. 8,
and will have but 81 80 to pay on as
sessment No. l.. In case this 81 90 Is
promptly paid. all small bills can be
settled and mining operations resumed.
The mill of the company is at present
running upon Savage ore. The mill Is
in excellent running order, and all
connected with it Is in good condition.
The company feel satisfied thut if they
could again get started they could
rapidly work themselves out Of debt.
The mine Is In good shape, and ore can
be easily and cheaply extracted.
The BEAUTIFUL SNow.-Our snow
storm held out bravely till last even
ing, when it ceased its efforts, and to-
day the weather Is occasionally pleas
ant again. The whole surface of the
country Is covered six or eight inches
deep with q snowy mantle, and If it
will only melt gradually, so as to give
the hillsides the full benefit Of 1t,
nothing better could be asked for the
benefit Of the country at large and all
concerned. While snow was falling
here, rain was falling plentifully in
Walker, T'ruckee and other valleys,
doing q vast amount Of good and CIV
ing good promise of fine hay and grain
crops. About two inches Of snow fell
ut Carson. On the Palmyra range,
east Of Carson river and about Como,
the snow fell over 4 foot deep. P.S.-
The above Vas just in type when about
. o'clock l.. NJ. IL commenced showing
furiously again, with a good prospect
Of a continuance as we go to press.
