SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 24.-This is the
ninth day of the snow blockade on the
Central Pacific and California e.
Oregon roads. During this entire
time no mails have been received
from the East, nor have any passen-
gers or freight got through. East
bound traffic is not so badly inter-
fered with as it was sent over the
Southern Pacific as soon as the block
ade became serious on the regular line.
The blockade extends from Summit, on
the east, to Towles, on the west, a dis
tance of about thirty-fve miles,
all within California. At Sum-
nit the snow is twenty.
four feet deep on level, and at other
portions of the blockaded track averages
eight feet for miles. Some portions of
the track for miles between the points
named are comparatively open. The
most serious difficulties exist at
Shady Run, Emigrant Gap and Summit.

plows and about 1000 men have been

since the blockade was first an

more, of the Southern Pacific Company,
said that this is the longest and heaviest
blockade in the history of the Central
Pacific road. and never before was there
such deep snow. The effect of tho
blockade in this city has been to inter-
fere considerably with CONNER
cial interests, caused by the delay Of
the mails and stocks of merchandise.
In the mining districts in the northern
portion of the State, which the heavy
snow. fall has isolated, food supplies are
running short and famine is threat
ened unless the situation changes
shortly. In Nevada cattle and sheep
interests have suffered severely, and
large numbers OF animals are dying
