Virginia (Nevada) Enterprise,
A gentleman recently arrived from California, where he had been looking about among the mining towns, speaks of several places where the snow lies to a depth of over 100 feet. These places are generally at the heads of large canons. At the head of Fall creek, Nevada county, pines and firs over 100 feet in height are so buried in snow that only a few feet of their tops are to be seen. Where a dark forest lies in summer there is only now to be seen a white expanse of snow, with here and there what appears to be clumps of bushes, but which are really the tops of the tallest pines.
