AN AWFUL AVALANCHE.
Eight Persons Buried Beneath a Mountain
of Snow IN Halls Gulch, Colorado.

o. -
One of those fearful visitations pecu-
liar to all mountainous countries, and
known in Colorado as a snow-slide, says
the Denver News, occurred at the head
of Halls gulch, Park county, at 10
O'Clock Sunday morning, January 7th,
sweeping the boarding house of the
Whale mine a quarter of a mile down
the gulch, and burying its inmates,
eight parsons in all, under a mountain
of snow, from which the bodies cannot
be rescued until the summer thaw re-
duces the drift. Owing to break in the
telegraph line between Morrison and
Halls gulch, information of this terri
BILE accident did not reach Denver un-
til Wednesday evening.
As neal as could be aScertained the
boarding house contained six men, one
woman and a child, and it is said that
n of these escaped, though a letter
from D. N. Cassell fails to confirm this
item of good news, but says all the in
mates were buried beyond reach.
James, John and Matthew Reed, and
the child of the latter, together with ].
H. Ralph, are among the lost. The wo.
mans name, is not given, nor are the
names of the other two men.

"A binding Snow atorm, accompanied
by a very high wind, ragged throughout
yesterday afternoon and last night
along the Union Pacific between this
city and North Platte, Neb. The cuts
along the road filed up with cattle,
driven by the storm to seek the slight
shelter thus afforded.
Express. Nc. 8, due here at 10 p. m.
to-day, was laid up at North Platte, and
will not arrive before 6 O'Clock p. m.
No. 4, which passed here yesterday,
was laid up for the night at Sidney.
All freight trains out IN the path of the
storm were laid up between Sidney and
North Platte. !
There is no trouble west of here and
all trains from the west will arrive on
time to-day. a9

SALTED MUD.
Unsuccessful Attempt to Gull Capitalists
with an Oregon Silver Marsh,

On the Goth of November last an
item was published in the San Francis
co Bulletin relating to the alleged dis
covery of mud highly charged with sill
yer. 1t was given out that the SOCIAL
ed silver mud had been taken from
Mud Springs, Wasco county, Oregon.
A little air of romance was given to the
alleged discovery, which may have
made it more attractive in the eyes of
the wealthy spectators, whose interest
in it was enlisted by the discoveries.
Being men of a strong practical turn of
mind, however, they set about satisfy
ing themselves of the genuineness of
the discovery before investing much of
their money in it. For that purpose
samples of the silver mud were placed
in the hands of Prof. Thomas Price for
analysis. At the time Of the publica-
tion of the item mentioned, Prof. Price
had only made a partial examination of
these samples, but he had discovered
enough to satisfy himself that the mud
was ''salted," and that the precious
metal it contained was the pulp Of q
quartz mill running on silver ore, and
altogether foreign to the mud itself.
Assays made showed that the samples
contained from 5000 to SO, 1000 per ton
in silver. Before rRaking a final report
to the capitalists interested in the re-
suits, Prof. Price put the mud through
a series of tests, which demonstrated
conclusively that the alleged discovery
was a clear case of ''salting," and a
bare-faced fraud, but that tile s'salting,
had been done in a very bungling man
ner. In no two samples had the same
kind of ''salt"- been used. All that wa
necessary to discover the swindle in
some Of the samples was merely to agi-
tate the mud in water and decant the
muddy liquid, when fine silver was ex-
posed, ~perceptible to the naked eye.
Acting upon the report of Prof. Price,
the men who had been invited to invest
their money in the swindle washed
their hands clean of the transaction,
and would have nothing further to do
with it. Subsequently they received
a report from Prof. Silliman, Of Yale,
to whom samples had also been sent for
analysis, which gave similar results,
and characterized the whole thing as an
unqualified fraud.
Such a swindle has not been attempt
ed to be palmed of upon capitalists
since the days of the Arizona diamond
affair, and its ignominious failure will
probably prevent its repet ition for q
long time.5 A ~
