has prevailed throughout Southern Idaho
for several days. A special to the States
man from Haily says: A heavy storm of
snow and sleet has been raging over the
Wood River country since Saturday last
and still continues with unabated fury.
In the mountains the snow has reached a
great depth and there have been numerous
slides in various gulches. No fatalities
are reported. Grave fears, however, are
entertained for miners. many of whom are
known to be out in the hills. All tele-
phone and telegraph communication is
almost entirely shut off with the large
mines and inter-mountain camps. Last
night an avalanche swept into Wood
River, just opposite to the city, and shut
off the power from the electric station,
leaving the town in darkness.
