Active TRAvELISo.- Luke Commit and
Jim Halligan came over from washoe
Valley . day or two since by way Of the
Gsiger Grade. in . buggy. with two
horses. Commit describes the trip oveI
the Grade a. somewhat lively. The
SNOW banks were deep and treacherous,
besides being lop-sided. Half the way
they had to walk holding the buggy up
the ether half they had to drag the
buggy. and the balance of the distance
they had to pack the horses on thsir
shoulders. the poor animals being una.
BILE get along. n they broke through the
crust OF the q at every step.
Commit says that Halligan took to II
kindly. considering IL mild and gentle
exercise: but "a for himself. he would
rather travel by balloon or railroad. and
pay his fare at that.
GoSo.-The snow on the hills around
Gold Hill has disappeared. except here
and there 4 spot. where the action u the
storms has thrown II in drifts. In some

~ feet deep. and in The ravines on the
sides of Mount DGldson IL attained a
greater depth than even this. II Is by
no al certain that the cold weather
h over for the season. but 1t il scarcely
reasonable to suppose there will be
much more snow until next Winter.

there was a storm. and snow fell to the
depth Of nearly an inch In Gold Hill and
Virginia, and extended ~ far IN Reno.
