ohated a little, several ~good-hearted TEL
Lows. among whom were George McCon-
tov DIR. Thoma. FL. Carpenter. Sam
woodin and Ned Hauser, concluded they
uonld take a team and go out to meet
tha stage. and render all the assistance
thew could, either to the passengers or in
breaking the road. They worked hard
all day, and succeeded in getting out just
tour miles and a half from town; night
coming on, and feeling pretty hungry,
,bev concluded to return home. During
the day they had sundry mishaps in the
vay of righting up their sleigh, dig
cling the horses out of the snow drifts.
o,d mending broken harness, all of which
.bav said was fun. However, they did
dsaI of good in breaking the road that
distance through snow from three to ten
feet deep. One or two of the party COM
n,a;ned of having frozen their feet while
ont but we hope that no such bad luck
attended any of them. In about an hour
and a half after the above parties got
home the Phoebe stage came in with
three passengers, almost frozen.
A. G. LowERY, of Mineral City, started
from home on Saturday last forthis place
with a good team and sleigh, having on
board one thousand pounds of beef. He
was two days in making Shekels' ranch,
where he met Ike Hand. one of the larg-
est hearted men in the county, and in
duced him to hitch up his team and help
him through the snow. On the third
day both started with their teams. and
succeeded in getting as far as the Cali
fornia. mill, two and a half miles from
this town, where, on account of the i'm
mense sno drifts encountered. they
were compelled to leave the sleighs, and
brought their horses to this place. The
next day they went down and brought
in the sleighs, but had to shovel their
way through the most of the distance.
Lowery says the beef he brought in is
worth a dollar a pound. or should be,
for the amount of labor he had to per-
form in getting it here.
Dull WEEK.-Business of all kinds
has been remarkably quiet during the
past few days. The storm has blocked
up all the roads so that it has been all
a persons life was worth to venture out.
and. as a consequence, there has been
little travel. All the to the
mines are closed. but will not remain so
long after the present storm is over and
roads can be broke to them. In the pres
ent state of affairs there is no use in
breaking trails, as they drift full again
almost as fast as they are broke. Have a
little patience, and should it ever stop
showing and blowing, two or three days
OF sunshine will bring things around all
IISuI again..
ANOTHER EXPERT. MIR. E. G.. DeCrano.
San Francisco broker and mining ex-
arrived here on Wednesday last
from Ward District, where he had been
to examine the Paymaster mine, the
property of the Martin White Company.
We are informed that he was well pleased
Win the mine. and is of the opinion that

rich and prosperous mining camp. This

Rough ON THE STAGE LrNEs.-Durinc

severe that the stage to Eureka did not

working in the Battery mine at Newark.

says they have just taken out some very

beer very severe in that locality.

he knows whereof he speaks.
HARD ON CArrLE.-It is greatly feared
this locality that the late storm hoe
killed a large number of cattle in the vol
leys. Previous to the storm that com
menced last Friday night, the snow wac
over a foot deep in Steptoe Valley. and
the cattle were then compelled TO climb
me mountains to obtain subsistence IF
Storm was al severe there as here
ne cattle could not have stood it.
