No MAILs.-Owing TO the late storm
ON the line Of the railroad no mails ar
rived yesterday, and probably none will
be received to-day. West Of Elko the
trains are snow bound in the cuts, and
the storm OF to-day will no doubt still
greater impede travel, making the time
uncertain when the blockade will be
raised. The snow pillow and four engines
are off the track near Pequop, and at last
accounts had not been replaced. West
Of Palisade the road is becoming difficult
of travel, all trains meeting with more or
less difficulty on account of the drifting
snow Eureka Sentinel, dth.

AGAIN SPREADING. The whooping
cough seems to be again spreading
among the little folks. In some in
stances all the children in family are
sufriug from the effects OF the conta.
gion, though no serious cases have as
yet been heard of. Our devil has been
much exercised by the "whoops" for the
past six weeks, the cough seeming to
take to him as natural as u duck to a
pond of water Eureka Sentinel, ID.
PUeILIsrrc.- Messrs. MeAlpine and
Rice, of pugilistic notoriety. arrived in
Virginia City yesterday morning. Mr..
McAlpine is ex.light.weight champion Of
the Pacific coast. He has fought eight
battles, worsting his antagonist in each
encounter. The object of his visit is
to assist in making the preliminary ar.
rangements for tistcuf between Davis
and Bing Williams.
DOES Nor AMOUNT TO MIGHT'VE are
told, upon pretty good authority, that
the recent rich strike OF gold near Silver
City, does not amount to much. Gold
was found and some very rich prospects
obtained, but it seems to be only small
pocket, and not near SO rich as was rep.
resented. We are sorry, and hope it will
yet prove to be Il big thing nevertheless
