land, who arrived in town yesterday at.
ternoon, left Eureka on Friday morning
at o'clock, in one OF Woodruff & En-.
nor's Concord coaches; arrived at Ham.
iiton at Sp. m. of that day; left Hamil-
ton by Travis & Co.'S line at O'Clock
on Friday evening, while heavy snow
storm was beating upon the heads of all
who were exposed to it. The storm was
SO heavy that it was with the greatest
difficulty that the driver could md the
road. A sleigh was used as far as Tom
Plains ranch, after which the pas
sengers were transferred to the coach.
They reached Patterson at o'clock yes.
terday morning. and arrived in Phoebe at
~ O'Clock in the afternoon. The time
from Eureka to Phoebe, including all
stoppages, was 301S hours; from Hamil-
ton in 2l1l hours. This is better time
than has been made heretofore in Sum-
mer, when the roads are good. Both
Woodruff & Ennor and Travis & Co.

American horses, and have made arrange
ments by which connections are made
regularly in spite of wind or weather.

between Hamilton and'Pioche, is u man
of indefatigable energy, and is ready for
any emergency that may arise. The
drivers are careful and courteous, and
spare no pains to render passengers COM

to bring them through safely and on time.

of pleasant weather.
