to the right of US, snow to the left OF US,
snow all around US, piled high and
drifted. If it was not that our citizens
were already afflicted with super
abundance OF the beautiful fleece, which
fell from heaven above to the earth be-
low, on last Saturday and Sunday,
we would fill up this issue with snow
item. for once the snow was as pure as
we are. The only differences between us
and the beautiful snow at present, is that |
the snow, which has lain on the ground |
several days, has became impure and
dirty. whilst we remain pure and beauti-
full, but the snow in not to be blamed for
that. The people would travel over it.
Till the middle Of the week there
were not any person who ventured
to leave town, and but a couple after
great exertion, succeeded in getting i'll.
1t is surprising, owing to the vast
amount of snow that has fallen, that
many buildings did not break under the
heavy weight on the roofs. On some of
the houses the snow was piled to depth
of six feet. Down in the valleys the fall
was not so heavy. A number in town
from the outside were compelled to re-
main in town a number of days, and
then it was with difficulty that they

and men from town went to their aid.
After pulling the first mule to the sur
face, one of the horses of the rescung
team fell into shaft near by and it
kept the men and teams pulling each
other out of old shafts filled with snow
nearly all afternoon. Tuesday came to
the front warm and pleasant, the snow
settling considerable, and the balance of
the week being the same, a few
teams managed to get into town. Fortu-
nately there was a large pile of wood at
the mill below town, or it would have
been very hard on many of our residents,
as teams have been unable to haul wood
for the last three weeks. Piochers are
completely walled in with snow. The
mails are several days back, and the pros
pect for them to remain so for some time
is excellent.
