the State, as L am as heartily ashamed OF ever
having resided there as he is. why, Bill,
yo,4 here?" He placed his finger to his lip and
mambed something about mum being the
word. It was not hard to understand his
meaning. I'm all right now, pardoned out
and restored TO citizenship. l ran ahead OF

OVER THE MOUNTAINS.
You have doubtless read McGlashan's fine
description in the Truckee Republican, OF the
harvest of ice and snow which springs up at
the touch of the frost along the Sierras. The
train went through these crystalhelds last nlgh'
1t was slow trip in places, as Ponderous mass
es of SHOW had fallen here and there across the
track. The snow pillow cleaved the way ahead
and at times three thirtyton engines battered
at the snow wall that barriered the path.
When the big plow struck the wall at veloc-
ity of forty miles an hour, it hurled tons OF
snow and ice high in air, and moment later
they sank into the black abyss below, tn un
dering and crashing down the mohntaln-side
Where the headlight sent its g ow for rods
ahead the snow cleaned and dazzted like white
fire, until it made one almost blind to look al
it, The traceries which the frost had woven
over the shrubbery and the wild shapes that
the cold had sculptured in ice and snow upon
the rocks and trees seemed to twist and glide
among each other as the light played upon
their surfaces Beyond, like wall. of ebony
rose the pail of the storm which still huns
upon the peaks and there was no moon tt
pierce it's rents.

o MINING BILLS
, There will be nothing done during the pres

stocks if they feel disposed. There is bill

stock certificates to be issued in the name
