LOCAL. INTELLIGENCE.

The SNow-SHEDs. - Assistant Superin-
tendent Rice and Arthur Brown, Master OF
Construction and Bridges, returned yester-
day from tour to Truckee, having exam
ined the suow.sheds thoroughly. with view
of preventing recurrence of the disasters
like that at Emigrant Gap. The snow-shedz
are in excellent condition. and sbundantly
able to bear any snow that is likely to fall on
them. The portion which fell near Emigrant
Gap was q short section, and it is unsccount.
able how il fell, as the timbers were found
sound. Il certainly was not the weight of
snow. The snow is not more than six or
seven feet deep at the summit, and, under
the influence of the warm sum- is melting
quite fast There is no snow to speak Of this
side of Alta. The early morning is quite
cold at Truckee, but the weather is bracing
and invigorsting. Bonner Lake is frozen
over and the ice covered with snow. 1t is
well worth q trip to the mountains at this
season Of the year to witness the pure mantle
of white which clothes everything, but the
average Sacramento visitor is pretty sure to
return to mis- home thanking Providence that
his lines are drawn in a pleasanter place than
the Sierras can produce, at this season Of the
year at least.
