pink than red and that the entire face of the country glowed with a strange light which combined with a strange and wonderful effect the snow did not remain a great while but soon gave place to its natural dead whiteness which covers thel the landscapes landscape for so many months in the year in that lofty altitude the phenomenon witnessed there as aa reported by mr hogan to is not the first time such a snow has fallen in that the medicine bow range of mountains A year or two ago such a fall was noted in that range about this time of year but it was more to the 1 north of gold hill and covered a large area of country it was reported by those who saw it as a a pinkish red in appearance and created a large amount of speculation at the time many people in dined to the belief that the coloring Is from mineral dust gathered from some red soil or mineral hill and carried in clouds another explanation of the phenomenon Is that the snowfall is filled with red though nothing short of a
