TRUcKEE. March 1.-THE fury of the
heavy storm has been broken. 1t has been

five feet OF new SNOW has fallen up to the
present time; then, with that which was al
ready on the ground when the present
storm set in, making between seven and
eight feet altogether. By the most strenu-

here and Blue Canyon Since yesterday
the snow plows have been kept going all
the time in order to clear the road, as 1t Is
