A Very Severe Winter. The severest weather in (he northwest during tbe present winter has been ex perienced in the region in the northern J part of Washington in the vicinity of the Columbia. There is quite a number of people hying Ihere.and Coulee City is the principle town. The distance from Cou lee City to the' river at Port Columbia is forty-five miles, and it is stated that tbere is but one building along the entire route. This is the halfway station, where, the- fresh horses are kept for the stages. Tuesday afternoon Ihe stage arrived at Coulee City carrying the driver and one passenger.' The driyer was badly frozen and was hardly able to guide the horses to the hotel. The passenger was found inside the coach almost, frozen to death. He was in a stupor and became delirous as soon as be was placed in a warm riom. The driver also lost his reason soon after arrival, and both are now under the care of a physician. It is thought their . lives can be saved. Thursday night another stage arrived from Port Columbia. The driver sat nearly erect upon the box, holding the reins in his left hand The horses trotted to tbe door of tbe hotel, and after the landlord bad removed the mall and bag gage, the team passed on to the stables, stopping at the usual place. The stable boys started to unhitch them, but notic ing that the driver did not respond to their questions.one of them climbed upon the stage. He then saw that the driver had been frozen to death at his post, and still held the reins in his frozen hand with the grip of a vice. He was held to the seat by a mass of mingled ice and snow. 1 he ice was broken and the reins cut in pieces, when his body was re moved to the hotel. The funeral will take place as soon as the weather permits. The Train Wreck. Tbe terrible train accident which bap pened Monday morning on the Union Paeific near Olds Ferry, Idaho, to the east-bound passenger train, was costly to both life and property. Tbe engine and mail car kept tbe track, but tbe bag caere, smoker and chair cars went down an embankment about forty-five feet, the baggage car being partly submerged in tbe waters of Snake river. -Tbe acci dent occured at about 1 :45 a. m. and at a lime when nearly all tbe passecgers were asleep or drowsy. The only passenger killed was little Lizzie Egan, aged twelve years, wbo was accompanied by her mother and four other children on their way to Minneapo lis. Sbe was asleep at tbe time of tbe accident and was pitched out of the car window by tbe jar and tbe weight of the car as it lell over on its side broke tbe child's neck. Sbe only lived a few m.DUtes. An elderly gentleman received bad internal injuries and cannot possible recover. Of tbe other passengers, about twelve were injured, some of them more or less serous ly. The baggage man was badly cut and prui&ed. Tbo Puiman and dining cars left tbe track but did not go down tbe embank Physicians from Huntington were quicsily taken to the scene and did much to renevo tue injured. Several theories are advanced as tbe cause of tbe accident. Passengers say it might have been a split rail, spreading ot the track or a too high rate of speed. They all wonaer that tbe whole train did not go into tbe Snake river, in which case every person on tbe train would bave been drowned. Had tbe engine left tbe track tbis would bave been the result. Harry Fritcbmao, traveling repre sentative of Wadhams & Co., of Portland was a passenger and occupied a seat directly back ot the little girl that was killed. When tbe crash came he caught hold of bis chair and tbus saved himself from being thrown headlong and. sus taining injury. Tbe child being asleep St tbe time was-unconscious of all dan ger and was thrown out of the , window without any attempt ou ber pait to stop tbe movement.

B. Dufur, of this city, arrived home last night about 9 o'clock. He was blockaded at Booster Bock from Monday night until yesterday about noon, when tbe rotary from Pocatello cleared the track, and tbe two trains, which were besieged by tbe snow drifts, started east. , ' ' Tbe cut just east of Latourelle Falls filled with snow soon after tbe west-bound passen ger passed through, and the rotary in at tempting to bore through, broke some of the machinery and was a perfect wreck. Five engines attempted to pull ber ont of her perilous position, but she appeared to be glued to the rails and could not be moved; Finally a gang of men went to work, dug ber out, and she was taken to Portland. These men worked in the- most furious gale ever witnessed, and Mr. Dufur will not state the velocity; but be says it was somewhat in tbe nature of electricity in its speed and permeating influences. yesterday afternoon relief came, and tbe giant snow-tbrower did its work gallantly and effectually. The air was darkened by the snow as the plow threw it to right and left for a distance of from fifty to sixty feet in the atmosphere. The passengers on the two trains took dinner at Bonneville, and tbey were proceed ed for this distance bv tbe rotary. Here tbey met two west bound trains. From tbe Locks Tbe Dalles was made in an hour and a half, and Hood Riyer in forty minutes. This is the second blockade that Hon. E. B. Dufur has suffered on tbe Union Pacitio between this city and Portland, and be con- iders himself an unfortunate child of des tiny. He speaks in the highest terms of be treatment received by tbe passengers by the officers of the railroad, from tbe con ductor down to newsboy. Everything poss ible for the comfort of the unfortunate persons was done, and Mr. Dufur says they could not have been treated kinder or more done to insure their comfort. Caught in a Snow Slide. Dayton Inlander. The heavy wind last Saturday night and Sunday morning completely swept ihe hl'ls clear, of snow and pile! it up along the' brow of the hills so as to form enormoussnow drifts. In order to pro tect themselves 'from the storm several bead of cattle belonging to J. N. Thomp son sought shelter along the side of the steep hill south of this place, and.by some means, two of them lost their footing and slid down the hill going over a bluff of rock about 200 feet high, being instantly killed. In a short time Mr. Thompson and a hi'ed hand started out to look after his cattle, and in going below a large snow drift it gave way, rushing down the hill and carrying tbe two men with it, a distance of about 300 feet. : From some reason they stopped, in some small brush, just above a high ledge of rock over which if tbey had fallen they would have been instantly killed. Mr. J as. Bradford and Mr. Drysdale happened to be looking out of the window, watching them when tbey started to slide, and started out to give aid. 31 r. Thorn poo a and the other man, whose name we have not learned, managed to craw, back to the top of the hill on their hands and knees, and were pulled up over the snow drift by a rope, which Mr. Bradford and Mr. Drysdale let down to them. Mr. Thompson got his lace bruised up some and otherwise sus tained some injuries, but we have not heard at this writing how seriously. It was a very close call and only a wonder that they were not both dashed over the ledge and killed. ' : A Few Mining Botes, The following mining news ia taken from tbe columns of the Long Creek Eagle: The Back Butte Tunnel Company still pushing operations on their property in Fox. Ore ledge has been discovered, bnt . - . , . , . . .( , no assay 01 me . roca nas yei oeen made, Tbe company anticipates tapping a rich ledge before work is suspended next May. Tbe Stevenson, Scott & Smith Company are making arrangements to erect two arras- tras in the spring to work the ore taken from their mines near Susanville. Tbe Eagle is informed that their quarts gulch ledge is showing up well, and that they have a large quantity of rich ore taken from it. Smith Bros., of Susanville, have two hands at work on the Princess mine. They bave been doing some repair work on tbe out8ide,-but are at present ready to enter the tunnel, with a view of tapping tbe ledge at a short distance. Tbe Smith Bros, bave expended considerable money in developing tbe Princess ledge, and have hope of get ting out some good ore this winter. A letter recently received from Jack Coyle m Greenhorn is to the effect that men are daily arriving at Granite, and tbat the out look for a big boom in tbat camp during tbe coming year is bright indeed. Mr. Coyle has not had great faith in tbat camp in times past, but now believes tbat it will soon become the largest camp on the Pacific coast. Let's all hope that Mr. Coyle's pre dictions will prove correct. COPPER IYETEDT Oard of Thanks.
