MI. and Mrs. w. G. Morse and A.
E. Farr were arrivals by Mondays
train from Augusta, Maine. They
have arranged to rent a house at
Prospect and the men will be en-
ployed at the Connolly mine.
Mrs. Caroline Huebner returned
home by Mondays train from Bing-
ham Utah, where she was called sew
eraI months ago by the illness of her
daughter. Mrs. Andrew Anderson.
She reports Mrs. Anderson now re-
covering her health.
julius Huebner, superintendent of
the Connolly mine. went down to the
Nevada Central Copper Company's
property, near Cedar Station. this
week for some electrical equipment
and reports that the snow is from
three to four feet in depth in the
hills in the vicinity of Cedar. After
a hard struggle he reached the Ro-
mano ranch in Diamond valley with
his auto, and from there started out
on horseback, but was compelled to
negotiate the last three miles on foot
as the horse broke through the crust
of snow and was unable to go fur
Their. He says there is a great deal
more snow in that particular section
than anywhere else in the surround
ing country.
Ralph Irwin, George Halstead and
Mrs. Bertha Rich we're arrivals in
Eureka Friday afternoon from Duck
water and will probably remain in
town until after the arrival of the
next train from Palisade. Mr.. IT.
win says there was an unusually
heavy fall of snow in that section
again this Winter, but that the most
of it has now disappeared and the
bands of sheep that were caught in
the deep snow in the Sand Springs
country are now safe and the loss of
sheep will be small. All these bands
have now commenced driving north.
Ralph drove his auto up as far as
Pinto and says the road is fine to
that point. but he was compelled to
procure a team from Pete Schaeffer
there in order to get over the Pinto
summit and into Eureka.
The warm wave that struck this
section last Saturday and Sunday
caused quite a freshet of water to
come down from the hills Sun
day forenoon. and as many of the
bitches and waterways were blocked
by snow drifts the water struck out
for new courses of escape and caused
a number of Eureka people to step
lively in the effort to head it off and
stop their properties being damaged.
The snowdrift on the Bateman street
side of the Courthouse stopped the
water coming down Ruby Hill ave-
u from flowing down its natural
channel into the Big Ditch and it
. broke oyer and took a course down
the Courthouse sidewalk. Commits
sioner r. j. Reid gathered a force
of men and had a channel cut through
this drift. but it took several hours
work to release the accumulated
waters and get the stream flowing
through its natural purse The
men were later put to work opening
up the regular channel through Ruby
Hill avenue and clearing a passage
under the several bridges over this
water course. The cold spell that
followed that night and has prevailed
during the week stopped all further
trouble from flood waters.
The work of shoveling out the road
to RUBY Hill was commenced and
finished Yesterday and teams from
