The following has reached us from Alia, but without date; it is however several days later than tho same correspondent's cor-respondent's communication published yesterday. Editors Herald ; Wo aro blockaded again by the "Beautiful Snow."- The recent severe storm has swept out of sight evcrj trail and road in tho Cottonwuodj. Take tho "epizoot" in oonneoiiou with the snow, and we are shut out from communicatiou with the Saints and Gentiles. All tho mines have stopped shipping ores, from compulsion, and the principal prin-cipal ones in consequence aro discharging discharg-ing largo numbers of men. The Flagstaff Flag-staff discharged seventy-five men this morning; have not learned what action the Emma or Davenport have taken. The weather is too inclement, and snow slides too frequent, for the subscriber sub-scriber to run about the hills in search of news. We have had no mail here for four days, except what letter mail was packed through by some public benefactor to day. Wo depend now upon tho telegraph for anything remarkable that may happen in tho "City of Saints." Smee Gould's arrival we are upon the tip-toe of espectency, not knowing how soon that immalculate gentleman may wish to become a martyr to the cause of tho G. L. U's. ? Havo they struck terror, yet, or something softer? ednesday a snow hhde completely demolished the house at the mouth of the Ely tunnel. Tbe houso was the abiding place of two honest miners.but at tho time of the slide they were fortunately for-tunately absent Three or four slides have taken place about the Yallejo,the Savage, and in the canyon below Alta; but none have resulted in a loss of life; as far as we havo ascertained. Everybody Every-body isalanucd here at tha arp a ance of the epizootic It will, undoubtedly have a serious effect oo the valuo of the mines, as it will be tho means of stopping thereeular monthly dividends of tho Flagstaff and Emma. There wiil also be another post penmen t of 1 tbe starting ot the Davenport smelter from the samo cause. Providing anyth;ng worthy of note transpires, I will endeavor to give you as late news as the snow and epizootic will permit. For the brevity of this communieaiien I ought to be entitled to thanks Yours truly, Archibald. |
