while (he Central will have advanced
eastward from California at least 300
miles, leaving hut a comparatively
short distance to be traveled l>y stage,
and there is no apparent reason why

New York to Colorado, Utah, Idaho

in the Rocky Mountains, is interested
in this matter, and we trust it may
receive their immediate attention.

It is generally accepted as true that
there can be no very great loss with
out some gain, be it ever so little. This
proposition in physics seems to apply
in the inverse ratio to the late storm,
anti its probable results in this vicin
ity—that is, that the storm has been
no very great loss, and that the gains
or benefits resulting therefrom, will
probably be very considerable. Be
fore this late arrival of snow, the time
had almost come for the .appearance
of grass upon the surrounding plains,
and along the roads leading from this
city to the different mining regions,
and the ground up to that time owing
to the previous absence of rain, was so
