SNOW IN COLORADO.
It Prevents Trains In Many Places from Moving = situation at Several Towns
 Serious-GreAt Lose of Live Stock.

Denver, Col, Jan. 30-Snow began falling on the mountains shortly after midnight last night and the storm which has been raging since aweek ago, with an occasional let up, is again in full blast The town of Breckenridge. about 40 miles from Leadville, is completely isolated. Fuel and provisions are getting low and much suffering from the lack of necessities must surely result. Not a wheel has moved out of Como on the South Park for two days, and reports from there tell of great losses to range stock. The mines about Lead vile have been forced to close down, as no ore can be moved. Hundreds of men have worked almost necessarily at different points on the South Park line between Como and Leadville to open the road to traffic, but have at last been compelled to surrender to the elements. Snow is packed in great drifts in the cuts and the wind piles it in as fast as the shovelers can make an opening. Kokomo is almost hidden away by the banks of snow on all sides. Snowslides are frequent and danger of destruction threatens the town. No trains have moved west of Leadville on the Colorado Midland for several days. Should the storm keep up its present fury great suffer ing and loss of life will result. The storm extends along the mountains in Wyoming and already the loss of cattle has been great.

They expect to ship all products that could be shipped with profit, and build canning factory and evaporators so as to take care of all the surplus aud not permit of waste.
 They expect to have extensive ex- perimental fruit and vegetable gar dens, erect all necessary buildings and build town composed of thrifty, in- dustrious people.
