From the Virginia Cil, Chronicle
The snowfall on the Sierras hal
been very light the past winter A
the summit and Cisco the creates
average depth falling at one timt
this year has not exceeded Six feet
The average fall III former winters
has been over twenty feet. in the
winters of 1868, when Cisco was
the terminus of the Central Pacific
railroad, the snow fell to a depth
of over thiity feet.
This was before the snow sheds
were built-when the railroad COM
pany had over 1000 men employed
in shoveling snow from the deep
cuts between Blue Canyon and Cis-
co. The passenger trains at that
time consisted of only two ,aches
and one baggage car, and weie
drawn the last eight miles--from
Emigrant Gap to CISCO by eight
cen ten wheel locomotives over
800 tons of metal driving "a snow
plow as large as two-story house
in front of them. AT that time the
line of the road wound through a
trackless forest over forty miles in
length, stretching from Truckee on
the east to Alta on the west, trains
frequently being brought to n
standstill by fallen treos obstruct-
ing the track.
OF the vast forests that then COW
cred the sides and crowned the
submits OF the Sierras along the
line of the road scarcely a vestige
now remains. Since the building
Of the road swath over twenty
miles in breadth has been moved
through the ancient forests border
ing the track, whose dark recesscs
obscured by thick foliage had nev-
or even been penetrated by the rays
Of the sun before the advent of the
iron horse. The decrease in the
snowfall is said to date from that
event, and is mainly attributed TO
the act Of that portion of the coun-
try being entirely denuded OF TIM
ber.

James st. Clair has made strik,

The ore carries brittle silver. Sev.

"Rusty' Holman is jubilant over
a strike made in the Gunsight in
Chloride Flat, on the Sherman
belt. He says that the slate, OF
which there Is large quantity,

small streak of mineral through the
same which assays $1,000. "Rusty"
has many friends in New Mexico
who will be glad to learn that lie
has struck it again.
A two-car shipment of ore from
the Great American mine In the
Swlsshelm mountains last week
netted the company $1,000. a force
of twenty men is steadily engaged
in taking out good ore from this
property. There is about 1000 tons
of what is termed low grade upon
the dumps awaiting the erection of
mill at the property.
During the past two weeks there
has been shipped from Whitewater
thirteen cars of iron ore to the Ben
son smelter 1t was produced by
the Santa Rita mine. There was
also shipped one car load of high
grade ore from Smith, Tower d
Co.'S mine, at Georgetown, to the
Socorro smelter, and one car of
concentrates, from McGregor q
Bros. mill, at Georgetown, to the
Socorro smelter.
A test made Of the ore sent in
from Gold Hill by Black IL Parks,
to be worked at Pinos Altos, shows
that the average grade ore will do
very we'll to ship from this camp.
A sack was picked out of the ship
ment by Col. II. Ii. Carpenter,
which was believed to be an aver
age, and it returned $77.77. The
hauling and treating Of this ore by
the Pinos Altos mill will cost but
little more than the freight charges
from Lordsburg to Socorro, thus
making q large saving for the mine
owners Of that camp in shipping to
Pinos Altos.
A rich gold strike was made on
whiskey creek, about eight miles
from this city, ON Sunday last by
Messrs. Matt Rosecrans and J. II.
Gordon, who located Harry Garvey
in for one-third. The ledge is
about twelve inches wide, with
from one to two inches Of exceed
ingly rich gold quartz, specimens
Of which are very tine. Several
men were Immediately put to work
to develop the property, when the
true merits of the strike will soon
be ascertained. The specimens
created quite sensation on tho
streets. Everybody was talking
about the new strike. No other
mineral seems to create 30 much
rs free gold.

Luck.

Pick out the LATEST, poorest man
in your town, and you will find him
growing about luck. When he
comes to explain his career you will
see that he planted potatoes and
waited for luck to come around and
hoe them while he sat on the gro
Gerry steps and talked politics. The
iIl-luck he groWls about has come
more through his own shiftlessness
and had management than from
any other cause. Diligence makes
luck; economy mikes luck; !; hon
esty makes luck. Tt is too late in
the day to make the world believe
that some folks were born to be
rich and others to be poor. It rests
solely with the boy and man.
Five or six years ago happened
to be in a railroad Office when a
boy of fifteen entered and applied
for position. His parents were
poor, but they had taught him good
manners. His clothes were of
cheap material, but they were
clean. The head clerk, to whom
the boy applied, looked him over
from head to foot, asked him a
few questions and told him to call
again.
'I'm going to give that boy a
chance" he said, after the lad had
departed.
IsDon't you have a dozen applica-
tiOns every week ~
eyes but when boy of his age
has the courage to walk into an
Office like this all alone and make
application, he has something in
him.
The boy was given a place as
messenger, with a salary of 93 a
week. I was in the same office the
other day, and where do you sup
pose I found him? The head clerk
had been promoted, and this boy
was in his place, and his salary
had risen from $3 per week tqa$1OO
per month Was it luck g No.
His diligence and faithfulness had
promoted him step by step, and
the same things will take him hfgss.
er and higher, until he will some
day fill the position of Superintend-
ent or President of the road. M.

Eat at Night When Hungry.

s'Go home and eat a good supper

a nervous, or sedative, or sleeping
potion, opened the door to show
him out. "But. doctor, it is IL
o'clock at night" "Well, what of
its Oh, / see, the popular preju-
dice against eating at night. Let
me tell you, my young friend, that
unless your stomach is out of order,
it is more benefit to you to eat be-
fore going to bed than it is harmful.
Food of simple kind induces
sleep. at what hour did you
dine 81 "Six o'clock" "Humph
just what / thought. Six o'clock.
Fourteen hours between dinner and
breakfast. Enough to keep any
man awake. By that time the fuel
necessary to send the blood cours-
ing through your system is burned
out. Animals sleep instinctively
after meals. Human beings become
drowsy after eating. Why? Sim
ply because the juices needed in
digestion are supplied by the blood
being solicited toward the stomach.
Thus the brain receives less blood
than during the hours Of fasting,
and becoming paler the powers
grow dormant. Inyalids and those
in delicate health should always eat
before going to bed. The sinking
sensation in sleeplessness is q call
for food. WakefuIness is often
times merely symptom of hunger.
Crafty the desire and sleep ensues..
The feeble will be stronger if they
eat on going to bed. Some persons
are exhausted merely by the pro-
cess of making their toilet in the
morning. A cup Of warm milk and
toast on retiring, or of beef tea on
awakening, will correct it." "But
is it not essential that the stomach
should rest 2" ssUndoubtedly. Yet,
when hungry we should eat. Does
the infants stomach rest as long as
the adults ? Man eats less often
only because his food requires more
time for digestion. Invalids and.
children at night may take slowly
warm milk, beef tea or oatmeal.
The vigorous adult can eat bread,
milk, cold beef, chicken, raw oy-
suers, or some other such food. Of
course it must be done in modera
tion. You start home now and
take cup of tea and a beef sand
wich on the way, and I'll risk your
sleeping. Good night :"
