from Mardis TO Deeth was caught in the
snowstorm and was out three days. Mr..
Smith. the driver. several times was in

wonderful courage the young lady urged
him on. Her heroic efforts were all THAI

storm three days and two nights without
food, with team completely tired our,
and to be almost completely fatigued in
body, is a severe test TO the steel of a
strong man, to say nothing of little
lady scarcely out of her teens. Miss

western young lady. with true western
courage yet OF petite figure and unusual
womanly charms--such an one as State

CARD OF THANKS.

1t is with pain. yet gratitude, that we
return thanks to all the kinl friends and
neighbors who were so thoughtful during
the sad hour of our affiiction. We have
buried our boy, but in the place that he
occupied in our hearts has sprung new
life. Death at best is sad, but when one
thinks of the thoughtful kindnesses be-
slowed at such time 1t is robbed of
much of it's sting. To all who so kindly
remembered that our hearts were sore
we desire to return gratitude and may
God in His goodness protect our friends
from similar affiiction. but If we are ever
called upon to in any way render COM
fort to them at such a time we shall be
ready and anxious to fill the mission.

Both are vigorous men. however. Bull

may be that they managed to reach a

Yesterday morning four teams left
Elko and the same number left Tusca-
rora in an effort to break the trail The
Elko teams expected to reach the twelve
mile station last night.
At o'clock yesterday afternoon the
Tuscarora teams reached Eagle Rock,

being far out of its banks. 1t rained

BIG CAVE ON cHoLLAR GROUPINGS.

BIG CAVE ON CHOLLAR GROUPINGS.
Tuesday afternoon big cave occurred
on the Chollar groupings, carrying down
cabin, two mine cars. windlass, tools
and lot of lumber 1t is not known
how far down the debris went, as the
ground all around the cave is very soft,
and it is dangerous to venture too close.
The cave is supposed to have been caused
by the rain soaking into the loose ground
and displacing the mine timbers.
