ON SNOW SHOES - On Monday evening, the 6th instant, a party arrived at Silver Mountain, on snow shoes, consisting of A.H. STEVENS, Esq., Mrs. A.H. STEVENS, their daughter, Miss Caddie STEVENS, aged 16 summers, and their son, a bright little boy of 6 years of age, from Cottage Springs, 39 miles from Silver Mountain, on the Big Tree road. The Monitor 'Gazette' pronounces it "The greatest feat of the age," and says: "Think of this, ye proud mothers and daughters of the valleys, who fear lest the winds of heaven should waft a zephyr too rudely upon you, of 2 of your sister braving the tempestuous Sierras in mid winter over a 'pass' of 10,000 feet above the level of the sea, the snows 22 feet deep, and calling it a pleasure trip."
