THE SNOW STORM.
From Ten to Fourteen Inches Deep in
West Tennessee.
Snow plOWs Used ON the st. Louis aud
Southeastern.
RAILROAD Travel Stin Impeded by III,
Floods,


On some of the railroads travel is still in
terfered with by the tate floods, while on
others the snow storms Of the past few days
have had a similar effect.
At Henderson, KY, on the st. Louis and
Southeastern road, the track was covered
with SNOW, about twenty inches deep, Sun
day morning. Such an event has not Oc-
cured for many years. For the past two
mornings snOW-plows had to be attached to
the engines, and even then it was with con-
siderable difficulty that trains could be run
through. They were delayed for some
hours, but the detention was only tempo
rary, and trains are now arriving and de-
parting according to the schedule.
During Saturday night and Sunday morn
ing there was a considerable fall Of snow
through the western district Of the State.
At Mckenzie it was six inches deep; at
Dresden, ten; at Frost Station, fourteen,
and at Union City, ten.
At JOhnsOnYille the river was rising slow
ly. At ore place, on the Northwestern road,
the water i3 about foot over the track, but
trains are still running. II is reported that
one Of the trestles Of the Memphis branch
Of the Louisville, Nashville and Great
Southern road, Onthe approach to Camden,
is six feet under water.
The river is falling at Decatur and
Bridgeport.
Everybody has gone to work in Chaita-
n0Oga, and business is going on as though
there had never been any foods in that pOr-
ton Of the country. A train with passen-
gers from Chattanooga reached this city
about $50 o'clock yesterday afternoon,
having left that place at O'Clock in the
morning. From Shell Mound to Bridge
port they were transferred by a steamer.
It is thought that from here to Chatta-
nooga the road viii be all right by half
past o'clock this afternoon.
Between Shell Mound and Bridgeport
about $50 men are At work on the road.
Superintendent Thomas is out on the line
seeing that the work is pushed forward
with all possible rapidity.

It Is Planning Out $500 to the Ton.

Times.
The excitement which commenced here
last fall with the discovery of mineral
wealth near this city has been increasing
ever since, and now that the value Of The
discovery is proved to be SC great, the
mine is 20 take q rank with those in Colo
RADIO The ore was first found on a farm
owned by Mr.. Jacques, situated two and a
half miles from the MerTimac river and a
half mile from the Boston and Maine
railroad.
Mr.. Adams who, found the ore, kept
quiet about it until he had bought the land
of Mr.. Jasques for $3.50. Then getting out
some rich galena he bonded sha land to +.
G. Kelly, W. W. Chigman, and Z. 2. Shaw
for 100000. The latter gentleman CON-
menCed at once to develop the vein, and
found it rich in lead and silver and extend
ING for three or four miles. They took out
some 200 tons Of the ore when Mr. Jaques,
the original owner of the land, brought
suit to recover the same, and had an in
junction put on the transfer OF the land or
removal Of the ore. But this does not pre-
vent wOrsing the mine, and the shaft has
reached a depth Of 90 feet and 500 tons Of
ore have been taken out. The general be-
lief low IS that the matter will be compro-
missed with Mr.. JaqueS, smelling works
erected, and business pushed forward.
About four tons were sentto Newark, y.
j., 10 be smelted, being some Of the first
taken ont, and Yielded about 800 per ton.
The vein is of volcanic origin, the ore
cropping out OF the rocks on the surface.
That first taken out was galela, which, as
they went down, was mixed with silver,
and carries $50 to 500 per ton. By a
slide from the south wall ore was brought
down gray copper which assays $500 per
ton. The success at the Chapman lode has
induced many people to buy land, and
what was valued al $50 per acre six months
since now brings 81, 600 per acre.
Capitalists and miners are tlOcking here,
many of whom have visited tile mines in
Mexico and Colorado, and they pronounce
the Chapman lode equal to tie ComstOck
and Legal Tender,

Almost nroHned.

Two boys, one white and the other col
ored, started up the Cumberland in a canoe,
yesterday afternoon. The current was so
strong that they became discouraged and
concluded TO return. They let the canoe
float down the stream till it reached the
end ora barge at the Broad street landing.
As the white lad jumped into the barge,
the canoe was partially upturned and The
negro went out into the water, which was
about ten feet deep. He was unable to
swim, and on this account came near losing
bis life. After going under three times, he
rose TO the surface, aud was pulled on
board the steamer Burksville by a colored
man named Simpson IchOd. He was laid
ont on q sugar hogshead and finally re-
stored to conscious ness.

The weather.

Sunday was considered a remarkable day
by the people Of Nashville and vicinity, on
account of the peculiar weather. A heavy
and continuous rain Saturday night was
followed by snow which fell the greater
part ofthe following day, aud which would
have attained many inches depth but for
melting as it struck the ground. The
housetops and trees took on a beautiful
robe, which remained for some time. sun
day night the sky cleared off with a moder-
ate breeze.
The farmer counts the freeze among the
favorable conditions for the crop Of this
year. 1t had the effect Of making loose
