THE COAL AT THE DEPOT.
There is No More than Will BE Actually
Needed by the First Train In.

ST. Calderhead, the telegraph opera
tor at the depot, says that the railway
officials are not deserving of blame
for refusing to sell the coal that is at
the terminus, as it is liable to be all
needed, and more too, to open up the
road. The locomotive that went out
with the train last Saturday afternoon
loaded up as full as possible, yet by
Z o'clock, when she backed her train
to Bellevue, she was entirely out of
coal, and had to load up again to run
down to Shoshone. Three or four en-
gines may be required to pull the rext
train up here; when they arrive they
will be out, or nearl " out, of coal; and
the two and half carloads at HALEY
will no more than suffice to supply
them. The fact is, that the blockade
has also caught the railway company
unprepared, and all hands must do
the best they can until the road is re-
opened.

The Situation at Bullion.

The people Of Bullion are getting
much alarmed at the continued snow
fall, and ladies are especially fearful
of snowslides. On all the hills in
sight Of town, the snow has drifted
over the ridge and curlcd up to a
highth of several feet, and if this
''comb" should break some houses
must infallibly be covered. AT 3
o'clock this afternoon, Mr.. Marks tel
ephoned that no harm had been done
yet, but that the situation was exceed
ingly alarming.

THE HEAVY SNOWFALL.
1t Will Prove Great Benefit to Us
The Highest Price Of Lumber Next
Summer.

Inc highest IFice OF LUMBER Next
Summer.
Mr.. Rowe, of HALEY sawmills, says
that the heavy fall of snow will be a
great benefit to the country in many
ways. 1t will secure US moisture on
the hills until late in the summer;
give us good, tall, nutritious grass to
feed to the stock, make transporta-
tion cheap, crops heavy, and keep the
water in Wood River at good stage
the year round. In this way logs can
be floated down right along, new
drive being sent down each week, if
need be, and lumber can be produced
for S. less per thousand than if less
SNOW had fallen. Mr. Rowe had
made preparations to bring two drives
down; he will now prepare for four
or five, at least, and thus get sup
ply of logs down once month. The
price of lumber next summer will
hardly go above s25, Mr.. Rowe
thinks, no matter how heavy the de-
mand may be.

A SMALL MOUNTAIN OF SNOW.
How Miner Managed to Climb Over the
Ridge Of Carbonate Hill To-Day.


Fred. Langabeer, who came down
Carbonate Hill to-day, says that on
the ridge Of the hill, where it swings
around toward the Japan mine, there
is all of 80 feet of snow. The snow
has drifted there, every day since the
first great storm, until it now stands
a massive-looking wall seemingly 100
feet high. And it is packed so solid
ly that it scarcely gives, a man not
sinking over IL inches in it. Mr..
Langabeer lives in a cabin with w.
H. Atkinson, on Chief Of the Hill
ground, and about 800 feet below,
and under, the ridge. 1t took him
about an hour and half to get to the
ridge this morning, aud theu another
hour to cross it. He had no snow
shoes. AT first he tried to 60 on a
straight line, but was compelled to
fall back half dozen times, and to
finally give it up. He then began to
go siding, stepping on the round or
curve of each curl, as deposited by
the successive drifts. In this way he
secured firm footholds, and managed
to gain the crest of the snowy pillows.
He then zigzagged down the hill un-
til he got to the BeIle-lsle tunnel,
when he found the snow somewhat
softer, but not over breast-high, and
easily made his way to town.
Mr.. Langabeer left for the claim
about o'clock this afternoon, mount
ed on pair Of Indian (web) snow
shoes. He doubtless reached the
cabin by 3 o'clock.

THE ROADS.
They Are All But Impracticable- No
Train In To-Day.

Welch's Bullion express arrived in
HALEY about 4 o'clock yesterday
afternoon, as stated in last nights
TIMES, with five men aboard that Mr..
WEIGH had brought along to assist in
getting through the worst places. He
left at II this morning, taking the
men with him. About l o'clock this
afternoon fresh team was sent from
Bullion, to meet Mr.. WEIGH. 1t is
not believed that he can get further
than the mouth Of the canyon to-day.
Mr.. Baker started out to Bellevue
with the mail, this morning. file had
hard trip, but reached Bellevue and
left for Haley about 3 o'clock this
afternoon.
The Ketchum stage which left at 9
O'Clock yesterday morning did not
reach here until about 4 o'clock yes
terday afternoon. 1t left for ketch-
UNI at the usual hour to day.
The road to the Miners Hospital is
still blockaded. Four men are work
ing on it from the Hospital out, and
two from the Bullion road end, toward
the Hospital.
No train get in to-day, and as the
telegraph wire to Shoshone is down.
it is impossible to learn what is going
on at the other end. 1t does not
seem probable that we can get train
before the end of this week.

The LtHdOn House Re-ODened.

Last Saturday the National Hotel was
opened to the public by the proprietors
hessrs Woodworths& Rouse, under the
old name of the Lindon House, and it is
now ready for business. The house has
been thoroughly renovated from cellar to
attic and presents fine appearance with
its handsomely papered walls, newly car
peted floors and we'll furnished rooms.
Saturday afternoon and evening the house
was visited by hundreds of our citizens
who took great pleasure at seeing the
old Lindon again prepared for business
in such good condition. Sunday about
100, large part of the number being
ladies, concluded to give the new propre-
tors "send off, and accordingly sat down
to the Lindon House tables and partook
of splendid inner, the quality of which
proved to the satisfaction of all that Wood.

trust that the proprietofs may have sue
cess in their new undertaking and the
Lindon House receive the share of patron
age that it deserves.
