Susanville Snowed In
December 23, 1880

The late heavy snow storm took the Susanville people by surprise. Nothing like such a blockade on the Reno road was ever seen before. Several deer and antelope were killed in sight of the town last week, driven down from the mountains by the snow. The telegraph line was down at last accounts and was expected to remain down all winter. Sleighing was good all last week.

Here is a chance for a young banker with a small capital. Let him go to Susanville and grow up with the city.
