 One comes from Nome, the observer in charge of the sta tion there having advised Mir. Summers that the station snow gauge, which is installed on Seven-foot pole, has been lost under the heavy snow drifts and all efforts to locate it futile. On top this information, MT. Summers has been advised by the Seward observer that the anemometer at that station. while nobly attempting to reg ister the wind velocity in re- cent gale, was swept away and so far has failed to return.
