VERY MISUNDERSTANDING the past
week, says the Phoebe Record of the 23d.
mining matters have taken a start that
will prove to outside camps and to San
Francisco that Phoebe j. still in the field
steady and staunch. The recent devel-
opments in the Alps mine will have a ten
dency to Immediately start prospecting
in the other mines over the divide. such
as the Portland. Excelsior and others, in
addition to which there are numerous
mines not known to MS by name that the
owners will now be- anxious to develop
and will use their best e~ndeavors so to
do. The bullion shipments during the
past week have amounted to $45. 612, u
large increase over any previous week
for nearly a year. The Raymond & Ely
mine has made a rich strike on the 1000
foot level and have pumped their shaft
dry. so that sinking is now progressing
rapidly. All these little occurrences have
taken place during the last week, so that
Piochers can now congratulate themselves
that the worst of matters are about over
and that Phoebe from this time forth
will show itself rs being the second camp
in the State of Nevada.

THE BEAUTIFUL SNOW

fFrom the Eureka Sentinel of the 25th.l
The furious storm of wind and snow that
commenced here on Friday last has continued
east and west with undated fury. aid at pres
ent writing the railroads are impossible. On
the Central Pacific the road from the summit to
Trukee is covered to such an extent with the
drifted snow that the snow-plow which was at
work fell in the power of the storm iend and
was itself showed in. On the Union Pacific
road the track is blockaded at intervals from
Cheyenne 70 Ogden, and it seems that but little
effort is being made there to put the road in
running order. Passenger trains, freight cars
and locomotives are at the various stations
awaiting an statement Of the storm. The storm
exceeds in fury any that has visited this por-
ton of the country.
Owing to the blockade, no train left Palisade
yesterday for Eureka and none will leave this
morning for Palisade, AS no connection can be
made with trains on the through routes, No
Eastern mail arrived yesterday and none from
any point will arrive to-day, and should a break
not occur in the weather it will be some DAYS
before any mail can reach town.
Our local road, between Ruby Hill and town,
comes in for its share Of misfortune. The loco
motive v~entured u trip to the mines on Sunday,
but is now buried deep in the snow in a cut. the
smoke stack being barely visible. The engineer
visited the engine yesterday and succeeded in
getting the water out of the boiler, but found it
impossible to move it, as the snow drifted in
more rapidly than it could be shoveled away.
The stage due here Saturday night from Hanil-
fnn did nnk arr,x,a ..-A.Y = =
morning. 1t did not leave Hamilton on Satur-
day, owing to the storm, but started the follow
ing day. The driver reports the snow Gun
fathomable" and only succeeded in reaching
town by leaving the road and :" lacking" along
the sides of the mountains.
On the road between here and the Pinto sum-
NIT, a number Of freight wagons have been
abandoned. and are now entirely covered with
snow. The drivers yesterday endeavored to
make another start. but their efforts were nm.
successful, and they had to bring their teams
back to town.
The Hamilton stage will start out some time
this morning and endeavor to reach that place
out 1t seems more than probable that the driver
will be forced to turn back, unable to make the
trip. :
although during the prevalence of the storm
OUT little snow has fallen in town, the high
WIND that has held full sway has blown the pre-
viousiy-fallen snow in huge drifts SO that travel
is continued with great difficulties. and II il a.
most impossible to even reach Ruby Hill. and
the roads leading to all other mines are impas-
SABLE. 1t is expected that the blockade on the
Central Pacific will be raised in a day or two
but 1t cannot be stated with any certainty when
travel can be resumed on the Union Pacific. as
the full extent of the blockade has not as vet
been ascertalned. Up to the hour Of going to
press there seems to be no signs of an abatement
of the storm.

The STORM IN CALIFoRNIA.-From our
Western dispatches, says the Eureka
Sentinel of the 25th, it is evident that the
present storm extends to the shores of the
Pacific, and that in severity it exceeds
anything that comes within the memory
Of the oldest inhabitant. A dispatch re-
ceived yesterday states that OIL Sunday
the rain fall was so heavy that services
were held in but few of the churches in
San Francisco. A drenching rain pre-
vailed during the entire day and by
night-fall the sidewalks in many places
were impossible. The wind blew a gale,
and it is probable that considerable dam
age was done to the shipping at the
wharves. A portion of the track Of the
Central Street Car Company, near Lone
Mountain, was washed away. moving in
the wash five or six cars. The person in
charge of the signal station on the Mer-
chants Exchange building reports one
and a half inches of rain during the "a
hours ending at s o'clock Sunday night;
o total fall for the season of 1917 inches.
Dispatches from various points, from
Marysville to San Diego, report the
severest storm ever known on the coast.

Mr.. WOODBURY. voTEs WITH THE REBELs.-
Before us is a copy of the Congressional Record
Of January 18th, says the Carson appeal. 1t
contains a report of the proceedings OF the
House Of Representatives of the day before.
Among those proceedings is . statement of the
yeas and nays on the JEFF. Davis Amnesty bill.
The yeas are 1874. The nays are 81. They en-
brace the reliable Republican strength of that
body. Among the yeas we find the name of
Mr.. WOODBURY.. He seems rather to choose the
Southern than the Northern Radicals for his
company. He was elected to Congress over a
rebel soldier. Still he votes in favor Of over
looking Andersonville and giving amnesty to
JEFF. Davis, just as Colonel Ellis probably
would have done. Politically. then, the Repub-
lican party of Nevada threw away it's Congress
sional nomination. At Winnemucca, after Mr.
Woodburn had been nominated over Mr.. Bishop
d longtime Republican, q prominent member of
the party present denounced Wooburn to us as
a "Broomranger." We reprehended such a de-
nunciation of a Republican nominee for Con-
gress. We were willing to accept Mr.. Wood
burns professions of conversion to Republican
Ism, unqueStloned. He seems TO nave forfeited
that confidence Perhaps he is as good a Radi-'
cal as can be fresh made from Democratic tim
Der. If he is q Republican, those whom we are
willing to accept as tried and true and trust
worthy, are not Republicans. To be arrsyed
against the Radicals" is not Republicanism.
1t is Copperheadism. Democratisln or Dolly
VardenisIn. Mr.. Woodburn was nominated by
u Radical convention and as an exponent of
".Radicsl' views. He has not done what the
Radicals" of Nevada had a right to expect
uf him. AS he seems to have voted in such
a fashion as to please the Democracy, would
to that party?

MORE PRooF OF H PUDDING. The
Grass Valley Union of a recent date says
that there has not yet been a test of ore
made by the Fryer process, but that the
greatest satisfaction to the owners of the
ore has been returned. Of course at the
same time. Mr.. Fryer has been gratifed
that he has been SO successful. Yester-
day Lippman of Reno, Nevada, received
returns from q test made from ore from
the Golden Fleece mine which is in Pea
Vine District. The ore is the most rebel
lious that.h yet been tested by the
Fryer process. and the test was made un-
der the personal supervision of Mr.. Robt.

self as more than satisfied with the result
and he left Grass Valley feeling that the
| Golden Fleece mine is q much more val
liable property than any OF the owners
in it had heretofore estimated. That
company will work their ore by the Fryer
process. Letters have been received from
San Salvador, in Central America, tx
pressing the greatest satisfaction at the
returns of tests made of ore from that
country. The San Salvador mines want
the machine down there. They have
tried Swansea and prefer the Fryer pro.
cess. In a very short time the public
will have the modus operandi of the pro-
cess explained to the public's s~atisfac'
ton.

THE UTAH SoUTHERN.-The Salt Lake
Tribune understands that the Southern
Railroad Company contemplate extend
ing their road Il hundred miles further
south this year and will work
early in the Spring. The Phoebe Record
is delighted with this intelligence and
has the following to say about it: lone
hundred miles more on that road will
have the effect of diverting all passenger
travel and freight to the Salt Lake route
to and from Phoebe. Should the South
ern Utah be extended as proposed that
road would at once and for all time to
come secure the trade Of this section, for
there is not the remotest possibility of
any competing road reaching us from the
north for years to come. That the road
will pay there is no room for doubt. Its
entire course in Utah penetrates the most
thickly settled of the southern portion of
that territory. and that the work was ever
suspended is something on which more
light is needed before the matter will
ever be fully comprehended. We look
to this road as the only means by which
we will first be placed in communication
by rail with the rest Of the world, and
shall watch its progress with interest"

CHARLES T. SCOOPS RETURN.

His old a~couaintances will be. glad to notice
the return of this gentleman to the Pacific coast.
Mr.. Secor was here rs one of the earliest work
ers in the silver mines OF Nevada. from 1900 70
1864, but has been absent for years. We under
stand he claims the credit Of having first applied
steam to the reduction of silver ores, in 1868.
We believe he is 3 thoroughly educated metal
lurgist he has studied the science OF metal
lurgy not only in this country but in Swansea
and Freyburg. He has been practicing and test
ing the reduction of metals for twenty years,
as we have been informed, and he now comes 10
this coast for the purpose OF introducing an
a~malgamator for the reduction of gold and silver
ores, which is the result OF this experience.
He claims that he can reduce the most OF gold
and silver ores by the application OF steam at an
expense not to exceed three dollars per ton.
The economy of the process is the most impor-
tsnt part of it. We have not seen Mr.. Secor's
amalgamator and cannot therefore speak OF 1t
from personal knowledge. He enters the field
of discovery simply as a competitor for the pub
lie favor and public patronage. II his discov-
cry has not the merits he claims for it, OF course
it will not receive encouragement. In the re-
duction of metals success is the only test OF
merit with any machine or with any process.
We understand that Mr.. Secor will soon be
ready to give a practical test of his machine,
and we therefore welcome him to the field OF
competing inventors and discoveries. and we
commend his amalgamator to the most careiui
examination of our mining experts and our
most skillful metallurgists. We expect to no.
tice the machine in detail as soon as an oppor.
tunity is afforded US. Mining and Scientific
