No Mails.

We have had no mails since Wednesday evening, the severe storm blockading all the roads leading to and from town. Wednesday night the Ward stage went out, but got lost out on the grade between and Lere Shekels'. The driver had to unhitch his horses and camped in a snow-drift till daylight, when he found himself close to the California mills. We have been anxiously looking for the Eureka stage all day, but up to 5 o'clock this (Friday) evening it has not put in an appearance, though it left Eureka Thursday morning.
