80 The Mining and Scientific Press. Tar Srorm.—The recent storm has been generally noticed by the press throughout the State, as the most severe on record. On Scott Mountain, Siskiyou county, the snow is ten feet deep. Parties who were digging out a load of merchandise, which had been caught out in the first storm, found the snow four feet deep on the wagon. The Meadow Lake Sun says the average depth of snow at that point is twelve feet, The Nevada Transcript says :—‘‘ Never before was such a snow storm known in these parts.” The Downieville Messenger says : “There is more snow now in this place than we have ever seen before.” The Calaveras Chronicle says: —‘‘ Several houses were crushed in by snow at West Point in that county. At Murphy's the snow storm is said to be the heaviest since the settlement by the whites. ” No Rusa ras Yrar.—The Downieville Messenger thinks stampedes are ‘‘played out” for the present, and that California will get, for this year at least, the benefit of her own capital, and takes it for granted, in this connection, that the center of attraction will be Sierra and Nevada counties. [Special Notice.] ExreRiencep Mine Workers.—We need in this country, and especially at the present time, more intelligent, experienced and honest working mine superintendents, men, who, from education, observation and practiee, havo a thorough knowledgo of minerals, nnd the various modes of treatment to which they should be subjected, according to their peculiar characteristics. We want mine and mill superintendents, whose practicnl knowledge will enable them to avoid the expensive errors into which so many have heen Icd from mere theorctical knowledge, or worse still an entire lack of any knowledge whatever of that which they have assumed to be able to direct. So much imposition has been practiced npon mine holders, hy pretentious scientific superintendents, charging enormous *salaries while living fat and leisurely, that men of real merit have come to he appreciated for less than they should be. There are thousands of mines in this State, the profits of which could he doubled by employing proper overseers; and doubtless tbe holders would seek suclt help, if they could have any assurance of securing good men, at reasonable rates. We believe the advertisement of Mr. Shaw, in our issue of to-day, furnishes tbe address of such a person. Subscribe at Once!
