Their loss is somwhere about $1,000.
The next heaviest loser is the
Sanger Il Rockwell lumber com

the heavy current coming from the
north Of the depot. This firms loss
will come inside of $500.

of course, carried away, incurring

had horse caught by the flood and
killed, and viii Ilosken a pig in

The suddenuess with which the
flood came and went was remark
able, and justihes the opinion of
many that the ravine leading to the
city from the east had, within close
proximity Of the city, been over
supplied with water by means Of a
waterspout or cloud burst.
In about two hours, or before IL
o'clock, the waters had subsidized

the wreck by the aid of the light

constant action. Not many took a
look at that time, however, as most
citizens had settled down at home at
the commencement Of the storm,
but those who did pronounce it one
of awful grandeur

EVERY family getting mail at the
Mineral Point postofiice, and can
possibly afford it, ought to have a

there are twice as many boxes rented

is the largest place and the most
business is transacted here.
The last payment to depositors in
the defunct Hodges bank of Platte
Vile has been made. The Ne,oS of
that place says this is the third divi-
dend and is two and one-half per
cent of the amounts deposited. The
first was six per cent and the second
five making a total of thirteen and
one-half per cent. The remaining
eighty-six and half per cent can
be charged to profit and loss.

RAILROAD

Last Sunday the snow-plow on the
E. & p. railroad stuck in a snowbank
a short distance north OF Alpha and
two engines were disabled. Since
then the snow shovelers were de-
tailed in separate gangs along the
road between that point and the Hay
Ranch. In the meantime a gang OF
men with an engine worked along the
road clearing the track from Pali-
SADIE to the Hay Ranch. Yesterday
the road was clear from Palisade to
the Alpha wreck, and it is supposed
that the latter will be cleared by to-
day. The cuts between Alpha and
Garden Pass are all filled again. From
the latter place to the mouth of Eu-
reka Canyon there will be but little
trouble, and from there to Eureka the
track is now entirely clear. The train,
with three days mail aboard, will prob.
ably arrive here by Monday night.
The Central Nevada railroad be-
tween Battle Mountain and Austin is
still blockaded and it is reported that
the snow is so deep that no recent eff
forts have been made to get through it,

all OF the outside stock are dying.
Nick Simonson has lost 50 head OF
cattle at his ranch, but does not
know how many on the range. He
is feeding all that he can bring home.
A. A. Conover has lost 20 head that
he can account for, but how many
more he does not know.
Joe Tognini has lost several head of
stock.
julius Minoletti has lost quite a
number Of cattle and some fine horses.
James McDougall has lost quite a
number of horses and the balance OF
them he has driven TO feed on white
sage.
Charles Mau is showed in and has
not een the sur for two weeks past.
The snow is several feet deep at
Rodger McMenomie's, and he has
had to tunnel through it to get to his
stable.
At Englert & Cos. ranch, at the
Warm Springs, the snow is not so
deep as at other places, and so far,
they have not lost many head of stock.

him q light load Of freight for that place.
1t was very funny, no doubt, for two Of
our fresh 7" young fellows to SNOWFALL
an old oolored man, but when the latter
turned on them with a good-sized rock
and forced them to retreat in such haste
that their coat tails few up In the air and
their heels touched not the ground, IL was
still funnier to see the old darkey laugh ct
their fear Of him.

THE MAIL CARRIERs.
Stage Routes-Where Credi IL Due
and Fault TO be Found.

anu fautt to De round.
Messrs. Mattoz Brothers and Brown
x Robinson have never tagged in
their efforts TO push through with the
mails respectively over the White Pine
and Tybo routes since the commence
ment Of the long-continued series OF
snowstorms, and Notwithstanding that
they have encountered deep snow and
huge drifts the entire lengths OF their
routes, they have pulled through I'M
der extreme difficulties that could
hardly have been exceeded under any
circumstances or in any other country.
II arriving late, the delays were un-
ayoidable, but they pulled through all
the same, and are to be highly COM
mended for their energy and perse-
verance. Billy Taylor deserves great
credit for the energy he has shown in
delivering the mails through forty
miles Of snow drifts between Cold
Creek and this place. Ike Irwin is
also entitled to the compliments Of the
Duckwater people, for although the
snow is not deep at the other end, the
road between Eureka and the Buttes,
for thirty miles, is as hard to get over
as anywhere on either OF the routes
mentioned. While complaining OF the
delays that are occasioned in the de-
livery of the mails, we can but take
into consideration the extraordinary
season and great hardships thereto at
tending. Ii there is any fault to be
found, it is that Uncle Sam does not
adequately COMPENSATE the carriers for
their service. Yet the Government is
not to blame, as the carriers put in
their bids at too low figures.
