A storm of unprecedented severity is raging
at the Terminus. The snow may almost be
said to be coming down in layers. 1t has al
ready attained a depth of four feet, and is
packed remarkably solid. Yesterday a train
the passage of which became totally obstruct-
ed by the fierceness of the storm and the
depth of the snow, had to be literally dug out
by a gang of men dispatched from the termin-
us far that purpose. Grim winter appears to
have set in at that point in dead earnest, and
there is little probability that any further at
tempt will be made to maintain freight COM
munications with the northern country for
some months to come.

late in the year to begin the experiment at the
present time, but if the owners Of "1played

would be in a sense rejuvenated, and that the
gold product of this favored territory would
grow to enormous proportions,

Sold Again.

Although yesterday was not exactly the
first of April, a good deal of fun was extracted
by a few of the boys from the very successful
preparation of an exasperating but harmless
practical joke. There is a resident in some
portion of this populous town, a lady of Chi
nese descent, who wears the conventional
attire Of American girl of the period. She
was hired by the hour by these enterprising
gentlemen for the. purpose of deceiving any
one who happened to call at the office, and
was fully instructed by them in the etiquette
Of the introduction. She was we'll and taste
fully dressed, displaying a petite and graceful
form to the fullest advantage, and wore a hat
of fashionable design, from which a heavy
lace veil hung pendant. A feeling Of invol-
untary admiration was natural in the observer
as he viewd her modest demeanor, graceful car
riage and elegant attire, and the "game" was
to introduce her as Miss Angelina Tycoon, of
Deer Lodge, and leave her and the victim
together until the latter ascertained the ma
tionality of his new acquaintance.
The denouement was ridiculous, M was
heartily enjoyed by all parties, after which
cigars were in order. The first sell was per-
haps the best. A gentleman we'll known
hereabouts having occasion to visit the office
in question, had nc sooner stepped inside than
the proprietor, with an appearance of conde-
scending good nature and with the utmost
politeness, remarked sMr. NJ, allow me to
make you acquainted with my particular
friend, Miss Tycoon, of Deer Lodge" Mr..
M. made extravagant obeisances and assured
the lady with overlooking exuberance that
he was delighted to meet her. The lady
bowed her acknowledgements with becoming
dignity and reserve, and resumed her seat
but Mr.. NJ, charmed with her apparent
~naiUete, and anxious to secure a glimpse of
what he was morally certain must be a beau
tiful face, Immediately seated himself beside
her and began a conversation on the leading
society topics. The game was soon up, how
ever, for when he insisted upon her opinion
on the practicabllity of performing Pinafore
this winter, she threw HIM into a cold perspi-
ration by lifting her veil to his astonished
gaze and replying: "Me no savoy Plinafole ;
you talkee too dam muchee." The Chinese

Extraordinary Accident.

All accident occurred early yesterday morn
ing in one of the lower levels of the Alice
whereby a miner named Cain met with a
painful accident and a miraculous escape
from instant death. 1t appears from some
what conflicting reports on the street yester-
day that the victim was standing on a timber
in a lofty stope, when an unusually heavy
blast shook his support so hat 1t gave way,
precipltating Cain to the bottom of the up
raise, it is said distance of over sixty feet.
One leg was broken and he received a severe
shaking up internally, but incredible as it
appears, he escaped with his life. Medical
assistance was summoned and everything
possible was done to alleviate the sufferings
of the wounded man.

SALMON RIVER.


Especial Correspondence of the MINER.l
From the fact that many prospectors from
Montana have returned home, and hundreds
OF others who visited this country last sum-
1ner have decided to seek fresh fields and
pastures new it has been concluded by some
that there is nothing in the mines here to
warrant the expenditure of money, and that
the late excitement was a hoax. To correct
this erroneous report, therefore, l wish to
make a few statements, which I hope you will
publish.
There is every possible indication That this
section of the great West will be remarkably
lively next year. No one can deny that the
country is full OF natural advantages and
that with a little more development the mines
will prove among the most productive in the
Territories. The principal drawbacks which
have interfsred to prevent extensive opera
tons this year are a lack of working capital
and the positive refusal of those who own
mines to dispose of them to men of means.
Next year, however, California capital will be
interested in the erection of mills, SO that
every poor man in the district will be enabled
to have his ore milled without being COM
PEELED to dispose of his property. All pros
pecting has ceased for the winter and to a
great extent the miners who own mere pros
poets have gone to Salt Lake and Virginia
City (Nev.) for winter quarters. Work on
the leading properties, however, will be con-
tinued all winter. Among these may be
mentioned the Ramshorn, Vermont, and
Beardsley, in the Ramshorn district, while ON
Poverty Flat and in other camps the You
Know, I Know, Redemption, Overland, Lone
Star and Monitor will be actively worked.
The Ramshorn has shipped about 100 tons
of high grade ore this year to Salt Lake, and
has a large amount left for reduction at the
mine, when a mill shall be erected in the
spring.
The ore body in the Beardsley is immense,
and though the quality is not extraordinary
the ortunat owners are sure of realizing a
good stake when better reducing facilities can
be obtained. So far the ore body is without
limit, and it is impossible to conjecture its
dimensions, as no walls have yet been found,
although several long drifts have been run.
Col. Shoupe and others who have resided
in the Salmon river country since the early
gold excitement, are confident that next year
will see more money taken out of this country
than ever before.
