Eureka at this season of the yea ID
usually visited by recurrent snow storms
and cold weather. but for the past month
we have had only q few fiurries Of snow
that brought hardly enough moisture TO
keep down the dust. While most Of the
nights have been frosty. warm, sunshiny
days have been the rule. aud with the
present high barometer q continuation of
the present fine weather seems probable.
But March is yet TO come, and as that
month is q proverbially stormy period.
it is pretty safe to look forward to a
little more Winter.
In the past few weeks a number OF
men have walked into Eureka from
Ely. Austin aud other mining camps
with the expectation o. obtaining work

At present the labor market in and
about Eureka is fully supplied, and
there is little prospect Of any new work
being started in the mines until the
Eureka & Palisade Railroad is com
plesed and resumes operating. IL will
probably be At least wv months more
before the railroad is in active operation.
