SNOW TWENTY-FOUR FEET DEEP.

Overhead Telegraph Wires.
'The amount of snow that has fallen and
accumulated in tbe higher mountain ranges
of Colerado In the past row weeks Is some
thing phenomenal. The railroad which

net quite ready for reopening of tralllc
Fer some tlme poeplo have been traveling

and Osler, thus maklnga path in the snow,
and in two places tills trail gees above tbe
telegraph wlres.
In shoveling the snow from the railroad
track the men cut It out in three steps. Tbe
man at the bottom throws the snow up te
the one en the first step; he throws it te
next, he te the next and the latter tosses it
out The steps are eight feet apart.
A wagon read connects Det Norte with
the mining camp of Flatore. During the
past few weeks the town of DelNortehas
pent $300 and individuals have spent $100
In clearing it of snow, yet the Bnewlsten

week some men went from Leadville en
the top of the Mnsqulte Pass te repair a
telephone line. They found the wlre four
feet under the surface ef the snow. As tbe
poles are twentv feet high, the snow Is
twenty-tour reel deep.
Yet, strange te sy,. with all tills almost
lncredlble amount of snow en the big
mountains, the little ones have been mere
than usally free from it The railroads
have net beeu blockaded, except the Den
ver & Rie Qrunde branch te Durtmee, and
the Denver and Seuth l'ark read te Gunni

Chaunoey V. Black Interviewed.
The Yerk Qazctte representative called
the attention of ex-Lieutenant Governer
Black te the statements and speculations
current in the Philadelphia and Pittsburg
newspapers for several wecks past relatlve
te an alleged letter addressed te blm by
Hen. William L. Soett, requesting blm te
withdraw from tbe gubernatorial cam
paign in favor of ex-Governer Pattlsen.
"If Mr. Soett has written me such a
letter," sold Mr. Black, " It has, up te this
date, unaccountably failed te come te band.
I have no knowledge or Mr. Scott's choice
for governor, and have bad no communi
cation wltb blm for many mouths. I have
net changed my attitude toward the nomi
nation, since my Interview In tbe Pblladol Pblladel
fihla 'lSmcs In September last, In which I
ried te make It plain, that personally I
was neither In nor out, and. of course, no
one would undertake te advise me te retire
from a position which I never occupied.
"The Demecrattc nomination under ex
isting circumstances is, In my Judgment,
one neither te be sought nor declined.
There ought especially te be no considera
tion at such a time for pushing aspirants,
who. are candidates only when tbey think'
tbey see 'a chance of success' for thorn
selves, but who are conveniently 'out of
politics,' and let the party and its nominees
stagger along without their valuable help,
when they happen te have no individual
stake In the result."
"It Is said that Colenol Rlcketts, your
colleague en the ticket of 1830, may be a
candidate for governor this year."
" I don't believe Colonel Rlcketts Is a
candidate for anything. But be never de
clines tbe call of duty, and he would make
a splendid candldate and a sound and
honest governor. He don't speak, It Is
true; but tbe Gettysburg speech he made
some years age from the ineutbs of bis
cannon would probably answer for all
present purposes."
Struck By a Priest In Church.
A disgraceful scene occurred in St
Msry's Catholic church, Peughkecpsle,
Just before the commencement of tbe
morning service en Sunday. One of tbe
parishioners nsmed Geerge Hughes, a
