The danger Of an avalanche is thus de-
scribed by the Virginia Enterprise Of the
1lth: The immense accumulation Of
snow upon Mount Davidson gives rise to
very serious apprehensions of an ava
lanche. or more than ons Of them. Should
any movement take place upon the steep
sides of the mountain, great destruction
OF property and of life will be the conse-
quence. There Is q larger body OF snow
there now than has been seen for years.
The principal occupation pursued by
the people Of Austin, has been shoveling
snow ftom sidewalks and roofs. The
industrious red man turned AZ honest
penny by sitting on dry goods box and
watching his squaw fill sEOw-sho7eling
engagement. The Indian is very in
dustrious and enterprising; he sets his
wife to shoveling snow and be collects
the pay for it.
The Carson Appeal Of The 9Th remarks;
Yesterday VIC were shown letter from
Prof. Blake, of the Smithsonian Inssi-
tute, to Hon. c. Stevenson, Of Gold Hill.
Says the Professor: Il am sorry that
there should be any dissatisfaction, par
| ticularlv as the mineral collection will be
| fully and handsomely shown as coming
| from the State Of Nevada, and will be
labelled with proper labels quite as fully
as il could or would be elsewhere. Be
sides, the catalogue will be full and COM
pete, and be filed with notes and infor-
nation" Elsewhere in his letter the
Professor says: "No foreign ores are
shown by the Smithsonian, and very few
domestic" This looks as if our cabinet
we're going to have fair and even a
handsome showing, Notwithstanding the
lugubrious forecastings of some of oui
contemporaries.

IN. G. Hughes, who was arrested a
Cornucopia on January Both, on aground
less suspicion that he was implicated il
the murder of b. De Lord at Soutl
Mountain, arrived here yesterday from
Idaho. Mr.. Hughes was arrested while
at work in Cornucopia, and taken t.
Elko, where he was confined in thu
County Jail for two weeks, to await tn,

Bull Run, in Elko county, at the tim

no reason for suspecting him OF bein

The question Of wages is being con
. tested at Eureka. The Sentinel says:
question OF serious import has bee
pending for some time between the min
ers and mine owners, or managers, G
Ruby Hill. The split dates from tn
time the Richmond Company attempte
) to pay the miners in deprecated trad
. dollars. The miners argue that the
have no more right to stand the deprecii
ton in silver than has the laborer on
ranch to make good to his employer th
q decline in the price of ton of whea
, Out OF this silver question grows all {
d. the subsequent troubles. The membel
i of the Union, feeling that they hay
borne the brunt OF the battle in keepin
, up the price of labor, have naturall
come to view all nonsunion men as inin
ical to their interest, and hence they hay
. felt called upon to institute rigorou
| measures to compel all miners on II
, Hill to join with them in their effor
to sustain prices. The kilograms frol
Eureka intimate that the matter Is stt
, unsettled.
The Austin Reveille remarks: Til
adage that "a bird in the hand is wort
two in the BUSH" is very little regardt
in mining communities in times OF e
, citement about new diggings, partic,
larry while the scene OF the excitemei
is far removed, in which case "distant
lends enchantment to the view" A ca
in point is that of couple of chIorider
who had a lease on Lander Hill fro
which they were making larG
wages; and, so soon rs they had account
lated u few hundred dollars, they thre
o up the lease and started for the Blat
n Hills. Other choriders took the aba
doned lease, and it is stated that they u
now working in and taking out good or
with the prospect of getting big crus
It ing out of the very spot where the Bla'
Killers threw down their tools. III
men who left may strikeit forty dolla
to the pan in the Black Hills, of whi'
y there is chance if there is any gold
l. that region; but it is just as possible tn
they wont find color, and that, rs tn
II gaze upon their empty flour sack al

on old Lander Hill scratching out ri
from a razor-blade.
