NEWSLET TER FROMOUR OMEGA
CORRESPONDENT, WINTER 1859
This current storm has us burrowed in ourholes, for our cabins
and rooms seem like holes, so
confined by small quarters and
great piles of blankets are we.
Storm has followed storm so
closely we feel isolated in the
wilderness. The cold is so constant we have forgotten the season's change is as sure as the
coming of day--meager as that is.
The great flumes and ditches
have filled with snow, clogged,
and frozen solid. It has been two
months since the heartier miners
tried towork their claims. There
has beentalk of selling out cheap .
and heading for Pike's Peak and
the new strikes, The men, intheir
lonely dreams, have built up the
Colorado find until they're ready
to search for the lead vein as far
north as the Humboldt.
The road to Nevada has been
closed fortwo months with snow.
And yet our brave expressman
has never failed and our mail service is regular. Through these
intolerable snow conditions he
carries to us Our eastern corres~
pondence, our 25 Tribunes, our
30 New York Ledgers. Not a one
of us would take his job or blame
him if he chose to stay by the
fire. He has the blessings of our
town's winter population.

A Dispatch From Omega, 1859
The days and nights are much
the same and we are all in need
of entertainment. Chess has become this winter's guide through
long, long hours, The game's
slow pacehas something in common with the ever falling snow.
There are dancing and singing
schools too. Mr. April and Mr.
Jenkins offer competing establishments that I have noticed are
quite as complex in social decorum as a young ladies" dance
class, Our ladies sometimes
watch, but only for a short time
for bad language and rowdiness
become too much for them.
Toour great sorrow, one. of our
number has lost his mind. He began to show first sign of his de# rangement onthe nfght of our recent theater performance. As the
players proceeded with their.pre% sentation he appeared on the stage
among them. The whole produc~tion haulted for he was dressed
most queerly, his face blackened
and he carried an unlit lantern.
At first we in the audience tried
to understand the symbolism as
part of the play. He disappeared
from the stage and we saw him
next several days later in what
seemed a dance on the narrow
cross ribs of the frozen flume. He
_jumped from beam to beam with
great arm swinging agility and
seemed all the more facile for our
attention. When we tried to detain him he was outraged and
outran our fastest runners scream~ing*he was going to Hunt's Hill.
We followed him of course, but
lost his trail in a new storm. It is
difficult tothink of him out there
alone and each of us knows the
poor fellow 's chance for survival
is very small.
We have witnessed a strange
natural pehnomenon these snow

bound months, We often see snow
‘spouts, rising in lovely spirals
thirty to fifty feet in the air. Like
water spouts, the wind strikes a
snow drift and piercing it, catches
the dry flakes and draws them
high intothe air. Then they sep~
arate and fall like water spray. If
the sun is shining they are mag~
nificent to see.
You may have thought our city
lost but you can see though we
are not lively we still exist and
wait for the warm spring rains to
free us from winter bondage and
nourish our dreams of gold.
