INTENDING FLoop.-Town Marshal
Harkin Of Gold Hill, who has just re-
turned from a visit to the head Of Car
son Valley, says It was raining hard
all the way until he got to McCone's
Foundry, just below Silver City, where
he first found snow falling. Carson
river was rising again rapidly, and
the people Of Carson and Empire were
apprehensive of a disastrous flood.
Between Carson and the State Prison
the ground was nearly half under
water. The prospect Of trains being
able to run over the railroad between
here and Carson under three or four
days Is not good, although strong
forces Of men are at work night and
day cleaning out the caved cuts and
repairing damages.
No HUMBUa SToRN.-After all, that
Signal Corps reporter at San Francisco
Yesterday was not so far out Of the
way In his prediction Of a big storm,
even though Its announcement was q
little unofficial. After storming and
clustering in a most boisterous manner
all night In the matter OF wind and
driving sleet, about 4 o'clock this
morning a heavy storm Of snow set In,
which has continued nearly ever since.
Over a foot Of snow fell, being the
most falling yet this season at one
time, and the prospect for more Is
good. Oh, this Is no "canard", no
humbug storm.
