Snow
SLUSHY STREETS THE
ONLY MARRING FEATURE

Nature, the necromancer, waved a
magic wand during last night over
Wilmington and the surrounding
country, and transformed it into
crystal fairyland that glistened and
glinted in a way that won the ad-
miration of all beholders.
Trees and shrubbery we're given
fantastic shapes by the icy coating
and pendants created during the
night, and the entire city was bower
of sparkling beauty. SO many pic
lures were formed by the crystal
touch of nature that there was am
pie to satisfy the artist whether he
be of the convention, the impress
sionist OF the cubist school.
Seldom has prettier scene been
created throughout Wilmington than
that formed by the sleet and snow
which held forth until the blighting
touch of the sun came to destroy the
art marvel of the great outdoors.
Along the Brandywine were enough
enrapturing views formed by the
sleet-en wrapped trees. the snow
weighted shrubbery the white cap
ped rocks amid the rills OF the wind
ing stream and the unbeaten tracks
through the parkway to satisfy all
the landscape artists in the country.
They we're indescribable in their
beauty and fantastic makeup.
The same was true of Cool Spring
1 Park, and al the Friends burial
/ ground, between Fourth and Fifth,
/ West and Washington streets, and
throughout Wilmington and Brandy
wine cemetery. The trees along the
streets also assumed odd and twist
ed lines with their garb of shining
sleet.
AS for the snow. It did not stop
traffic throughout the city. and while
walking was somewhat hazardous
! this morning the sun caused much
of the white layer to melt aud trickle
away during the morning. It filled
sidewalks and crossings with dis.
agreeable slush.
The snow was deep enough to pu'

 The mineral resources of the terri tory between Hot Springs and Ash down on the K C. Southern are so varied and valuable tha+ we have deemed it advisable to establish an office in charge of a capable em- ploye for 5he purpose of exhibiting specimens of some of the principal deposits along our new line of rail- road now under construction. This office is temporarily established at sos Citizens National Bank Building, and we are now assembling a collec- tion of Kaolin, Fuller's Earth, Ma9l, Phosphate Rock, Lead, Zine, Iron Py- rites, Chalk, and other deposits of a commercial character, which are now ready for exploitation.
 Miners and manufacturers making use of such material are invited to examine the specimens with a view to a personal examination of the de- posits, and our facilities are rendered freely and without charge to those interested. MARTIN WALSH t2,2J1m. Gen. Frt and Pass Agt.
