pnou CHERRY CREEK.-Pat. Devlin,

,rr;ved here on the 18th OF last month,
h,, am not at all pleased with this
n,ace. The mines here are like those Of
Aha Reyeille District, and the excitement
il diving out. although they are building
nIi9 town. The place is getting worse
very day, and every one is leaving who
o,n yet away. Tell the boys not to think
" coming here under any circumstances.
Jwould not give the worst part of the
uavana mine for all the mines, mills and
,owns in this section of the country.
0ur friend - was in big lack to be
o. drunk that he could not overtake the
wagon that was to bring him here; bat it
WAS lust my luck to be sober enough to
overtake it, / will leave here this after
noon.
The Ssow AND THE RAILWAY The
unprecedentedy heavy snow which has
fallen lately. taxed the energies of the
Nevada Central Railway Company to a
great extent, but We are happy to say
that the pluck and determination OF Su-
perintendent Nesbitt and his assistants,
proved effectual. The snow was SO heavy
on the summit and in the cuts, where
hinge snow drifts were found, large
force of men were put to work to shovel
off the snow and keep the road open. In
some of the cuts the drift of snow had
made an accumulation to the depth of
eight or ten feet. In the canyon, how
ever, where there is no wind to cause
drift of snow, it did not exceed Is inches
in depth. Yesterday train of Is cars,
containing five tons Of ore each, were
taken down to Bullionville, and the train
was brought back in good time and with
out casualty.
STRIKE IN THE PAGE AND PANAcA MINE.
On Sunday last q rich strike was made
in the Page and Panaca, but the matter
was not made known until yesterday
This strike is in an entirely new ledge,
which has been named the "Gussie, -
and has been located by the Superinten-
dent Philip Falk) for the Page & Pan
aca Company, under the United States
mining laws. The ledge is about two
feet wide, and ores from it assay as high
as S596.94 to the ton. Indications are
all favorable to speedy development of
the Page e. Panaca into q first-class mine
The work is progressing well, and in our
next review we purpose giving further
notice of this mine.
A MODEL CRoss-ExAMINArIoN.-- the
