hills and land north of Phoenix in the
vicinity Of Superior Saturday night,
according to Rand Bone. foreman OF

mountain. Mr. Bone said, and the hills
and peaks about the mountain are
covered but the mountain itself re-
mains bare Of the white blanket
About six inches Of snow fell at
Superior. MIR. Bone said. and about
inches fell at the road camp seven
miles east Of Superior. The snow is
melting rapidly, he said, and an un-
usual feature OF the melting is that
the water is being taken UP by the
Ground instead of running into the
streams. The creeks where the snow
fell. he said, are not filling with
water.
About nine inches Of snow fell Sat

sunday noon it had melted until it
was only six inches deep according to
a report at the weather bureau.
