in Blue Canyon clearing the road of the
snow, which in some places has drifted
in immense bodies on the track. The
western bound train is detained at Reno
until the one bound East reaches that
point. 1t was expected that the blockade
would be raised last evening; if so the
mails will arrive some time this morn
