now than there were then, for on the
return trip we had to come through
mountains Of snow with the thermom-

below zero. At Steele so deep were the
drifts that Col. Steele had to tunnel
under to get into his house and barns

until some other time. The railroad
company may transfer the mail and
they may not. This mea that mail

noon-and it may not. There is also
a mail from the east coming around
by way Of Helena-Which may moi

come there will be no mail.
