Last Tuesday evening Doc Holmes
came in with the first White Pine
mail since the previous Friday. He
reported that he had driven from
Shackels station, o. b. Sampson, the
driver between that place and the
Eighteen-mile House, being laid up
with rheumatism. John Ewald drove
from Summit Station to Sheckels, a
distance of IS miles. He left the for
mer place at 2 O'Clock on Sunday
afternoon and did not reach Shackels
until IL O'Clock the next morning.
Doc Holmes had to do considerable
shoveling Of snow to get oyer six miles
Of road in as many hours. The old
man does not think there is any lux
ury in staging this weather.

Items of Interest Clipped from o.
white Pine News Of Jan. m.


Geo. ID. Coburn informs us that all
operations in 0sceola had to cease on
account Of the late heavy storms.
A. X. Watson has retained Wren &
Cheney OF Eureka to assist Rives 4
Beatty for the defense in the pending
Joanna mining suit. Two heavy legal
teams are they.
Whewl Whit But it was cold
Monday and Tuesday nights. On the
former night Weather Sharp Cupid's
thermometer registered 20 degrees
and on the latter % degrees below zero
at the Courthouse. All day Tuesday
the mercury did not rise above zero,
and those who ventured out doors had
to be very careful Of being frost bitten.
Mr.. and Mrs. A. X. Watson came in
from Eureka on Monday nights stage
when the mercury was 20 degrees be-
low zero. Nj. Watson is loud in his
praise Of the stage drivers who, he
says, deserve great credit for their
efforts in overcoming almost unsur-
mountable obstacles in getting the
mail through.
Our mails from all points have been
several days behind time this week,
and the wonder is that any came
through at all. Even u Cherry
Creek mail had a hard time getting in,
though the route is all over a valley
road. Four horses were put on to
bring it through. The Eureka and
Taylor lines have also doubled stock.
At s o'clock Thursday evening the
Eureka stage got in with the delayed
mails up to date.
Everybody thought when it cleared
up and the cold wave swept down
upon us the fore part of the week that
the storm was broken and fair weather
had set in. But Thursday the mer-
curry rose rapidly and toward evening
it commenced to snow again, two or
three inches falling during the night.
1t stormed off and on all day yester-
day with no signs Of letting up.

A faithful servant, protector and
friend of the family Of /. G. @. Whit
more was relieved Of her misery last
Wednesday morning by chloroform.
She had been a familiar object on
Main street for eleven years. Poor
old Fan " was as handsome a dog as
ever cared for the little children that
loved to rolick with and caress her,
but in some way not known, nor
noticed at the time, she must have re-
ceived a severe kick in the neck,
probably from a horse in Remington,
Johnson & Co.'S stable. Her neck
swelled and it vas clear that her days
were numbered, so it was thought
best 10 put her out Of pain. Mahlon
Ridge dug a grave in the stable, and
there gave her a decent burial.
Children mourn DER poor old Fan"
Her bark Is launched on canine's crest,
Her wstchful eye Is glazed in death,
She bit the dust and now doth rest.

From Conductor Crowley, of the E.
& RAILROAD we learn that horses and
cattle are dying by the hundreds.
They get on the track and try to run
along in front Of the engine and drop.
They are too weak to raise and the
trains have to be stopped and the ami
mails rolled off the track. Mr..
Crowley says it is a most pitifuli sight
to see a poor old cow or a string OF
animals standing out in the snow weak
and starving, looking one way and
then another, bewildered, not knowing
where to go. He re~iterates the
opinions OF cattlemen, that the losses
will be ~veryheavy through the Winter,
but those whose cattle survive will
reap a great harvest'after the Winter
is over. Where the locomotive was
ditched last Monday, it became neces-
sary to dig through the deep snow
into the ground. There appeared no
signs Of frost in it, and it will neces-
sarily absorb most OF the fallen snow
and give an abundance OF water during
the balance OF the year. Feed will be
good all over the country, and the
losses will be made up in a great
measure by the improved condition OF
the ranges.

During the heavy storms OF last
week. says the White Pine News,
VIM. Warner was out near West
Camp all alone, doing assessment
work for Jesse Peaslee. 1t was feared
he might try to get cut and perish in
the attempt. Saturday morning
Peaslee, j. B. Simpson and Z. Dart
went out to his rescue. Three horses
went ahead to beat down the snow
and two sleds we'll provided with
shovels followed. After hard work
they succeeded in reaching Warner,
who was shoveling for dear life to get
the snow cleared off his broken-down
tent. He was brought to town in
good condition.

uermnnn,. I..test Mystery.

Cremation is the title by which
Professor Hermann, the celebrated
magician has ch~ristened his latest
mystery, introduced at the Harlem
Opera House in New York City. The
Professor administers chloroform to a
lady until she is unconscious and then
cremates her body-reducing it to
ashes in full view of the audience
which after a mystic incarnation the
ashes arise in a vapor from the urn in
which they are deposited and the
vapor finally takes the form of the
cremated woman, who a few minutes
later is breathing in as full health be-
fore the spectators as prior to passing
through the fiery ordeal of cremation.

vada county, CAL, determined to
make the trip from Forest Hill to the

deep with snow. Mrs. Ralston de-

Accounts.

Accounts.
The cuts along the +. K p. railroad
were all filed with snow, when last
Monday the train left the Z. & p.
depot as usual, except that it was
drawn by double-header locomotives,
Nos. 4 and 5. At Horse Shoe Bend
No. 4 jumped the track and the ten
der rolled over on the bank. No. 5
was run back to Eureka, reaching
here at 3 O'Clock P. NJ, and a gang Of
men were taken TO the scene of the
accident to replace the engine and ten
der on the track. This was accomp-
lished and both engines we're pulling
for home. They had not proceeded
more than their own length when
they both jumped the track together,
and il took all the balance OF the even
ing to replace them. They steamed
into the depot between l and 2 O'Clock
on Tuesday morning, Conductor
Crowley and his force being quite
worn out. On Wednesday morning a
train was made up Of three engines,
mail a and snow-plow, but q COUP
ling rod on one OF the engines was
broken and had to be brought to
town to be repaired. AT 40 p. NJ,
the train steamed out OF the depot
with a dozen men aboard to help clear
the the track, and Mr. Crowley had
orders to push through to Palisade be-
fore returning. No passengers were
taken along as it was thought to be
too risky.
At 8 o'clock yesterday afternoon
a telegram reported that the train had
not reached the Hay Ranch, and at
this writing there is no knowing when
the train will reach Palisade, and its
return to Eureka with either passen-
gers or mail is entirely uncertain.
Yesterday at the Hay Ranch the
snow was thirty inches and at Palis-
ade eighteen inches deep, with the
crust hard enough to bear the weight
OF man and horse. 1t showed and
bowed hard all through Thursday
night and yesterday was these places.
The same weather is also reported
from Carlin and Winnemucca.

CHERRY CREEK GOLD MINES.
Dat In the Mountains fn ouess of
N yellow Metal.

tnH HthADW MGtNAs
A Cherry Creek correspondent
writes the following to the White
Pine News: 1.-THE gold fever which
prevails in your section has reached
this district, and despite the Indictment
weather Of the past two weeks, I'M
like other %fevers, which are said to
succumb 10 frost and snow, RACES with
increasing fury, IL the number OF those
affected may be considered q measure
OF its infectious malignity and extent.
Not a few venturesome treasure
seekers, Drawing the storms, have
been in the mountains in quest Of the
yellow metal. Certain it is that free
gold has been unearthed during the last
days Of the old year in sufficient
quantity to set aside all doubts as to
its presence in paying amounts and
the statement is made in some
quarters that the gold belt OF Robin
son District extends this far, and per-
haps further northward. However
this may be, il is confidently asserted
by those whose knowledge Of the
geology OF the Egan Range gives
weight to the assertion. Hopeful
predictions are ventured in all quarters
that ere another year shall have rolled
around Cherry Creek will have come
to the front as a heavier bullion pro-
Queer than at any time in its past
history. The great depth of the snow
initiates, OF course, against any ex-
tensive exploratory efforts at present,
but sufficient gold was exposed before
the recent severe storms to warrant
work on an extensive scale when
more propitious weather reigns. II
is needless to say that many Of those
afflicted with the fever are treating the
malady in comfortable bar-room
chairs"

The Legal Guardian OF the Child.

On Tuesday evening there was a
scene in the tent where the evangelist
Mrs. Woodwork breaches in Oakland,
CAL, and sends people into %convul-
sions, frances and the like. A IA
year-old girl lay upon the platform
where she had been in the cold for
hours as pale and chilled as marble.
Mrs. Woodwork was exhorting the
frenzied crowd about her when a man
rushed through the throng and
seized the PROSTATE girl. One of
the special officers in the tent, a con-
vert to the Woodwork religion, siezed
him, but the man said that he was the
legal guardian Of the child and would
have her. Mrs. Wordsworth screech-
ed the vengeance of heaven upon the
+" unbeliever." A struggle ensued
and a mob rushed upon the
man and hustled him out OF the tent.
He proposes to have the whole re-
ligious gang arrested.

trip to the Pacific slope has not been a
profitable one. We are reliably in
formed that he was vanquished by
Australian Murphy last Monday night
in the California Athletic Club. We
did not learn the number OF rounds
fought, but we understand Murphy
knocked him out in short order. He
has heretofore been considered irwin
chile in his class-feather-weight.
Pretty nearly all the fighters who have
come to the Coast and been matched
with California bruisers have met a
similar fate to that of Weir, and who
knows, il the great John L. should
be matched to try conclusions with
Peter Jackson, that a similar tide in
affairs may take place as that which
has overcome Dempsey, Cardiff, God
