Three men started from the Savage mine
during one of the recent storms, on snow
shoes, for Sierra City. One of them gave
out entirely, and the party returned and
made fresh start the next day. The at
mosphere was chilling and the wind blew
perfect hurricane, darkening the air with
| fine snow so they could not see twenty feet
ahead of them. One had his right hand
| frozen and another wrist severely frost
bitten. [Downieville Messenger.
The Plumas National says The storm
of last week was the most severe ever seen
in this county since the coming of the first
settler. The snowfall was not extremely
heavy, but the wind was perfectly furious
in the higher localities, and it is something
wonderful that no more loss of life oc-
Cured than is reported. The fall OF tim
Der in large quantities is reported from
every quarter, and had the ground not
been frozen there is no telling how much OF
it would have been destroyed.
At Darwin. on the 18th instant, a man
by the name of Chris Norwood accidentally
killed himself with shotgun. The gun
was lying on bale of hay in Spills corral,
and in taking hold of it the deceased
caught it by the muzzle and commenced to
pull it toward him, when one of the ham
mers caught in the hay and was raised
sufficient to discharge one barrel, the en-
tire contents of which-wads and shot
entered his stomach and caused death In
about half an hour. He was supposed to
be German, between 50 and 40 years OF
age, and was in company with }. Z. An
derson travelling ON their way from Lone
Pine to Resting Springs.
The storm at Lake Tahoe last week is said
to have been one of the most severe ever ex-
perienced. Parties from there say that
the wind blew regular hurricane.
There was not such heavy fall OF snow,
but the sleet and wind played sad havoc.

HHY READING FILLED.

The long struggle between the people and
the coal monopoly is approaching an end. In
the great failure of the Reading Railroad and
Coal and Iron Companies some will see only
the ill-success of President Governs wild
financial operations others only vindlca"
ton of their accusations against the man.
agement of the companies; and others
still only confirmation of their belief
that the purchase Of the coal lands was
bad policy. But The TRIBUNE, which has
opposed the monopoly in coal, not in any
personal hostility to the gentlemen who man
age that interest, but because their dOings
were contrary to the public welfare, sees in
the great failure conclusive proof that the
coal companies can hope to prosper only by q
due regard for the public interest 1t is the
policy of restricting production and arttcially
advancing prices that has broken down. The
creditors of the Reading, who are now its real
owners, and those who have an interest in
the other coal companies, will be fortunate if
they recognize before it is too late the fact
that the monopoly system must bring ruin to
them, and proceed at once to adjust their
financial affairs to n new basis
The cause of the failure of the Reading Com
pany is not merely that it could not at present
pay interest and dividends on 1852, 100000
of indebtedness and $42,278,175 Of stock.
but that it attempted, by joining with
other companies in n monOpolist policy, to

than sc, 900, 900 tons Of anthracite coal can be
marketed at a fair profit. But the coal COM
panies are trying to force the country to pay
81 per ton for coal. and at that price they
will find that it is impossible to market
nearly as much as they must in order to meet
their first charges. In the last annual report
by President GOwcn, issued only four months
ago. he said: "The period of low prices,
either for transportation or for coal,
{" has passed. With the admitted fact of
GA present consumption and demand fully
greater than the present power of pTOduc-
ton, the company will be enabled to earn
large revenues for its shareholders; ;" and he
then calculates that the price of coal will be
at least 81 80 per ton higher in 1880 than it
was in 1879, and that "thc railroad company
"win move about 100000 tons, and the
Coal and Iron Company will mine nearly
5000, 900 TONS" so that the net profits,
after dcducting fixed charges and full sink
ing fund, will be $4,000, OO0-equal to ~
"per cent on the share capital of the COM
"pany."
The attempt to bleed the country to the ex-
tent of 81 50 moro per ton. on 30,O00,0O0
tons of anthracite coal, has been made. Up
to May 10 tho production of the Reading and
of all the companies, compared with that of
the same period in 1879, was in tons as fol-
