along for nearly three months past, dur
ing which time there has not been an in
terval of 48 hours that it did not storm in
some manner, shape or form. Monday
last it commenced to blow, and soon
thereafter to snow, which, added to the
mountains of it already on hand, just
piled it up too high for anybody's COM
fort. The storm kept up its lick most
~furiously up to late Thursday night, and
only let up then, we suppose, to get a
rest and take a fresh hold. During the
four days storm not less than two feet of
snow fell, and the wind blew most ter
rifically. The present Winter has beat
all the calculations of almanac makers
and the oldest ~inhabitant. and it is now
generally conceded that this has been the
NEST severe Winter known in White Pine.
The STAFFoRD.-This mine is situated
on the western slope of Treasure Hill,
and is owned by Sam. F. Paul, Tim Shine
and others. 1t is All old location and
well developed. The ledge at the present
workings is seven feet wide, and the ore
extracted is worth $40 to $50 per ton as
sorted. Last Summer a number of tons
of assorted ore was worked at the Eber-
hardf & Aurora Company's mill, which
yielded $131 per ton. The company now
have on their dump at the mine not less
200 tons of ore. Two shifts are working
on the mine, and are raising five tons
every twenty-four hours. They will
make q pretty good stake this Spring,
when they can get their ore worked.
The LAEp YEAR BALL.-The lady mana
gers of the ball request us to give notice
that the ball has not been postponed, as
was reported, but will take place this
friday evening as per original pro-
gramme. On account of the big snow
that has been prevailing, it was thought
the ball would have to be postponed.
The storm having ceased. the ball goes
on. Persons wishing conveyance to the
ball will leave their names at Dan Nor
ris' stable. stating the time they wish to
be called for, and should be in readiness
when the Slei CHS call, so as not to keep
them waitin,. They will commence con-
veying passengers to the Hall at 8 O'Clock.
sharp.
RETURNED.-Mai. NJ. w. Henry. who
has been visiting in the Eastern States
for the past six months, returned here on
Tuesday last, and was warmly greeted by
his numerous friends. The Major left
here ~ostensibiy onea purely business
proposition. which he accomplished. He
accomplished a great deal more; he sue
ceeded III capturing III intelligent Vir-
GINA lady, aud brought her here as his
wife, for which his friends commend him
very highly, and wish the newly welded
couple much happiness in their adopted
home of snow and sase5rush.
The CHAMPION MINE.-This property
is situated about twelve miles from Min
eral City. in the Nevada Mining District,
and has a fine ore body nine feet wide at
the present time, which will require more
development to determine how much
wider it is. The ore now being taken
from the mine is said to be worth a least
500 per ton, and there is plenty of it in
sight. The mine is owned by Ike Hand
and Charley Wray, who intend working
it diligently for the next three or four
months. We hope it may prove a bonan-
"a to them.
HUNTING FOR A DooR.-Judge Waters
on Wednesday last offered an Indian five
dollars if he would find his office door on
Main street. The Indian commenced
shoveling away the snow and was down
ten feet or more, when the storm set in
again, which soon buried the Indian out
OF sight. He tunneled himself out, and
finding the Judge. said, "Heep no catch
'em door; maybeso three moons.' The
Judge regrets the failure, and thinks the
Indian would have struck the door in 60
ing down fifteen feet deeper.
Snow BoUND.-A number of persons
have been compelled to stay in Hamilton
for several days past. on account of the
