Snow TN tne Curry Mountains.

Snow IN the Ci.s.5 MohnsIins.
The heaviest snow fall of the season
at one time began early Wednesday
evening. Thursday morning fully one
foot Of fresh snow covered the ground.
Ore teams and pack trains lid not ven
ture into the mountains and the Circle
Route, Snetfies and Union stages didnot
30 out on their regular trips. The snow
in the mountains is very heavy and
danger from snow slides is greatly in
creased. The Red Mountain, Silverton
and mountain mail for other points went
out on horseback and the carriers were
armed with shovels.
Snowslides were running throughout
the mountains Tuesday and Wednesday
fortunately without accident save the
one on the southwest slope OF Emma
mountain in which Clark and Emerson
were caught, the latter losing his life.
The slides were not caused by fresh
snow. but we're the result OF high wind.
which drifted the old snow aud a loosen
ing up Of the atmosphere, somewhat
resembling January lhaw.
From the Burrows Park country in
Hinsdale county. Engineer mountain,
Mineral Point down Poughkeepsie gulch
aud across to Ironton and Red Mountain
the snow is said to be II to IA feet in
depth. From there through to the north
side of Mount Sneffels and south to the
La Platas it is said to be from to II
feet. The snow which began Wednes-
day night is general over all this terri
tory,
The only way to get into the mou Mt
aims is on anowshoes and those who risk
it take their life into their own hands.
But the ranchers in the lower valleys
only smile at our discontinue. 1t is the
early and midwinter SHOWS upon which
they depend for water for irrigation
during the summer. These mountains
are vast storage reservoir and the
catch basin is already full. Yet more
snow is bound to come. The storms OF
February are usually the most severe.
1t is during the latter part Of February
that the biggest avaianches usually run
carrying death and destruction to every
thing iu their path. All should bear
this in mind and not venture into hazar-
dous portions OF the mountains until
the danger period has assed.-Ouray
Herald.

Since the notice of taxes due for the
year 1902 have been issued by Treasurer
Clack there hsa been whole lot OF
kicking indulged in by those who have
boen 81 unfoi inmate rs to have any tax
ahlc property. at the amount assessed.
and especially go is this the case with
Ysnch property. The increase comes in
the raise made by the old board OF county
commissioners for county expenses and
by the several school boards. In school
district No. ! the levy wus raised from
nine mills to fifteen mills. This raising
OF the county levy taken with the in
CREASE in the valuation OF property by
the county assessor accounts for the
heavy taxation complained Of. In the
town OF Delta the town levy is nine
mills on the dollar, Just one.half OF what
il was three years ago.
