Our first considerable snow storm has
been so heavy that detention TO travel and
business is quite general. The storm ex-
tended over large portion of the Atlantic
seaboard, and the uncommon weight of
snow has seriously interlered with railroad
and telegraph work. A damp snow like
that which came down on Sunday is a more
serious trial to temper in this city than in
the country. The weather became very
cold during the night, aud this morning Is
bright, clear and crisp, and the s'eighing

ALTHOUGH CHARLEY ROSS
has not been found, it is quite evident, even
from the little that is allowed to filter
through the columns of the newspapers,
that the police have had some hard and la
borious work to do. Since the death of
Mosher the search has been continuous.
The superintendent of police has guaran-
teed reward Of 50 900 for his recovery.
There are indications that the child is still
alive.

ner for supplies TO the street department,

putty street commissioner for payment.

stantly sunk. Rufus Hatch, managing d.

CURED. The Colon will have to be placed
in dry dock for repairs. The Pacific Mail
company believe tina, wreckers are occas-
ionally shipped on board their vessels for
the purpose Of destroying their steamers,
and unusual caution is to be taken hercaf-

ONE MORE TERRIBLE WARNING
against the foolish practice of playing with
firearms is offered in the story of the shoot.
ing OF police captain in Brooklyn. Ac.
cOrding TO the statement of the man who
fired the pistol, he was examining it, moi
thinking it was loaded, when he snapped il
at Captain Bourne and killed him instantly
This unhappy event, which has caused q
profound sensation in Brooklyn, ought tc
have some influence on the minds of men
who handle weapons, loaded or unloaded.
But such casualties do not appear to be very
long remembered by anybody.
WONDERFUL SILVER MINE EicHEs.
California dispatches mention another
gold and silver mining craze, with the spec
ulatiye feeling running higher and wider
than for many years. The recent wonder
full discoveries in C0mstock, Consolidated,
Virginia, Crown Point and Belcher read
like leaves from the tales of the Arabian
Nights. One lucky individual is personally
alluded to rs Gen. Thos. III. Williams,
whose profits in these shares are over 50,
900, 900 Since Friday one of his stocks,
the California, has risen 800 per share,
and his profits in As hours were $3.50, 900
more than $4,000 per hour, 1t is fabu-
lous, and theatrical Colonel Sellers, of
Twan's creation. with his "millions in it, '
is nothing to the hero in real life. But
anon the vision will be clearer, for of
course the time is approaching when the
insanity must end, and then it will be the
old story. and tor every one who has made
| a fortune there will be thousands who have
been reduced to want.
The Tribune has late advices and eX-
tracts from late Western papers giving
some particulars of the wonderful discov-
cries of silver in the Comstock lode in Ne
vada. Making all due allowance for the
expanding hopes of the mine owners, it yet
appears certain that an unparalleled success
is within easy reach, and that they have at
last pierced the heart of the silver noun
tain.
It seems the true centre of this famous
lode has been reached The one body has
not been less than 200 feet long, and the
yield from 800 to $4,000 per ton. These
are the richest three mines in the world.
The value of the Banana mine is estimated
at $500, O00, 900 A letter from Virginia
City says, From the development now
being made at each eud of the Mine we Ut

near the centre it will be found to be but O
