Dispatches of February 29th, say:
It has been raining or snowing right
along on the Oregon lino in Northern
California for several days and new
blockades occurred yesterday between
Sisson and Edgnood, a stretch of about
twenty miles near Mount Shasta. There
havo been several slides of mingled
earth and snow loosened by the rains.
Ashland is thus again cut off from com
munication by rail, which was afforded
for a few days by transferring at tunnel
9, near Belta, after the rest of the line
from Ashland south had been cleared.
The storm kept up yesterday and fur
ther damage will probably be reported
to-day. Eight inches of snow has fallen
at aisson yesterday morning and it was
still snowing there.
The last three days have brought the
company fresh trouble at tunnel 9,
where a big landslide buried the track
and tho mouth of the tunnel .several
weeks ago. A large gang of men, with
horses and carts, had got it pretty well
cleared on ..Monday, und then tho rains
brought down another slide, and the
pile of dirt was.about as big as at the
start. It was then determined, as re
ported in the Chronicle, to try sluicing
the small mountain of earth away by
the hydraulic mining process. A com
plote hydraulic outfit was secured here,
and Assistant General Manager Curtis
wont up with it yesterday. There is no
convenient elevated water supply to
which pipes can be laid to use the force
of gravity, and so a powerful pump will
bo set up by the river close by to force
the stream into tho giant nozzle.
"The only occasion where the hy
draulic process has ever been used in
railroading before," said Car Service
Agent Georgo F. Richardson yesterday,
"was several years ago, when a big
slide of wot, heavy cluy, which could
not bo handled with shovels, occurred
at Towles, and the Towle brothers ran
somo pipee to tho track and quickly
sluiced it out.
Sacramento, Fob. 19. The present
indications are that there will be an
other railroad blockade in the Sierra
Nevada as great as tho one experienced
last month. Snow is falling furiously
and despite all tho efforts of the snow-
plows and hundreds of shovelers it is
piling up on the track. All trains have
been hauled off until further orders
Thero are nineteen locomotives at the
sceno used in pushing the three bucker
plows. Two hundred and fifty men
and a large supply of provisions were
sent to the mountains to-night.
