Inc Mormons as much the best route to
lhe States, either in returning or going out
and will be taken by those emigrating this
spring. Several hundred Mormons are
expected here in a few days. The Buifa-
10 are very numerous two hundred and ff.
ty miles from this. Advise friends TO pro-
cure everything either at ST. Louis, indie.
pendence or st. Joseph, as nothing but corn
can be procured here, and even that not
conveniently. This route is very desira.
BILE, the road, for several hundred miles,
being unexcep,lonably good; plenty of wa.
ter is found in the valley of the Platte by
digging two and a half feet, wherever
they choose to camp. The water is bet
ter in warm weather than when procured
from the river. This is important to tra-
vellers, as they can stop TO camp whenev-
er they wish, and besides after striking the
Platte, :he road is parallel with it for sew
eral hundred miles. | have lot learned
about the facility OF procuring wood, but
II is cot SO Important as water and grass
that IS, If those emigrating are properly
provided with pilot bread and dried meals
as we a'e also with chaf.g DISHES and
spirits OF tUiHe. We are thus entirely
independent of wood and buffalo chips
particularly when it rains and can make
our coffee under the tent or III the wagon.

From TIE FRONTIER. from
ST. Joreph, Mo-, dated April 25;h, say -
From what have been able to ascer-
tain, there appears 10 be greater number
OF emierants rendezsousing at this point
than at independence. At The commence
meni Of the season this was not anticipa-
led by the good people Of the latter place,
gems Ct 81. Joseph.
The roads, 10 every direction, are lined
with wagons of cmigrating parties from
The lower countries of Missouri, and from
Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan and Illinois -
The majority of these intended moving
lelsurely as far al Fort Kearney aud C0un.
ell Bluffs, ard there make their final start
Up to this time at least three thousand
emierants have arrived al this point, en-
route for California. Several companies
have already departed. and are new about
one hundred miles from the frontier; they
intended remaining IN camp for some days
at Grand Island, which Is about two hun
dred and eighty miles distant. The roads
from Independence, ST. Joseph, Fort Kear-
nv and Council Bluff, there connect
The trying times to many will arise be-
fore they succeed in reaching Grand Is
land. Postal communication ceases after
leaving their several places of rendezvous,
and the emigrant has no ready means to
communicate to his friends bis progress, &c.
From the Lexington, Mo-, Express, we
clip the following -
Hardly an hour IN the day passes, but
what wagons may be seen passing on their
way to California. Many, we learn, take
The left hand road a. Old Town, and go TO

train after train are passing up.

lieye that there is an unnatural and fictitious
value placed on every thing, which will
soon be corrected. Merchandise and labor
are extraordinarily high.
In relation TO The mines, there is un.
quessionably an abun6an. supply of gold,
and 1t is continually discovered in new
places. The gold region is now believed
to extend down as low as Lower CaIifor.

San FRANCIsCn, March I. 1910.

SAN FRANCISCO, March I, ISi9.
My Dear C.-l wrote 10 Won few
days since on our arrival, and avail of the
detention Of the vessel for Mazatan, TO
give you some items of matters and things
IN this delectable country. In the first
place, go far as one can learn, gold stories
are all true. The consequence is that
labor, rents, provisions, &c, are enor.
mously high. Town property for cash is
5ey yond any thing ever heard of in a new
country, and lots are selling in this place
from FIVE to twenty thousand dollars rents
from five hundred To one thousand dollars
per month. Carpenters wages eight TO
ten dollars per day. The steamer Cali
fornia is deserted by every soul except the
captain and chief mate, and there is no
probability of her leaving under Two or
three months. This IS speculation on my
part, for there is no saying when she will
get either fuel or d crew.
Fifty to one hundred dollars per day is
nothing extraordinary for miners 10 make.
There is, however, some danger from Ia.
dams aud our own country men, proving
about the country. cCmmitung murder and
theft. Gold 10 very abundant and goods
high, and an immense popu-
lation coming forward, who all resort to
the mines and return merely 10 throw a.
way the proceeds of their labor. In fact,
can hardly give you an idea of the state
of the country. Those who have been
here year, with common industry and
prudence, are worth from twenty thousand
to TWO hundred dollars. have not been
able to procure board in the place, and in
company with Mr.. Frazer and young Du-
eros, have pitched our tent quarter of
mile from town. Wages of servants $3.50
TO $500 per month, aid in the course of
two or three weeks. when it will be season.
able weather to 90 TO the mines, none will
be had at any price. You may Judge what
state Of things exists when common la
borers can 60 TO The mines and return in
a month or ak weeks with from one to
three thousand dollars in gold.
Ii is yet too early for the mass to start
TO the mines, the weather having been
very inclement. We intend to go up to
the mines and see the country, aud have
formed party of FIVE for that Purpose.-
The price OF passage to Suffers Fort is
s35 each and S5 per cwt. for baggage
and provisions. We have an idea Of buy
ing whale boat, the price IS 500. From
Sutters's Fort to the Stanislaus the trans
porlation is difficult and expensive, as
team of oxen and wagon earn 800 per
day.
Gold is selling at Ola per ounce, but
is taken in trade a. $16. Ii ia worth in
Valparaiso 81 land would net. in the States
SIT, al expenses paid.

DR. J. S. WOODS SARSAPARILLA
~ ELMER, WARRANTED TO BIZ THE CHEAP
EST, and BY THE BEST preparation OF Sarsapa-
rilla ever offered to the American people.
This preparation OF Sarsaparllla has been prov
ed by very many eminent Physicians, to be more
eflectual in purifying the blood than any other
medicine known. 1t has effected many asonlsh-
ing cures and is truly hi ghy valuable frfepd TO
all persons in any way affected'wth diseases. Its
cures are speedy and permanent, renovating the
sy 'tem and lnvlgOrattng the PATIENT under lis I'M
mediate control. We have only 10 that II
has for lis a gents large number OF eminent med
zeal practitioners who make general use Of IL in
their prantce. 1t is put up in quart bottles, and
is neither a patent. quack, or imperial medicine.
We give an extract OF a few of the many highly
respectable recomme ndatlon voluntarily sent us:
Rev. +. r. Rawson. of Albacy. considers it
"the best article for perso Is debilitated and of
scrofulous habits, offered to the American peo-
pie"
Rev. Allen Steele, of Troy, says, sit far
cells all the popular medicines"
Rev. ?. NJ. Hitchcock, OF Albany, recommends
it as ga most valuable and medicine for Weak
ness Scrofuous Humoys and Nervous derange
ments."
Rev. Elias Vanderlip, Of Albany, says, ''on
taking but enc bottle, found reefin Scrolulous
Humors of 30 or so years standing"
Rev. |. N. Wykoii, of Albany, recommends 1t
ss decidedly beneficial dyspeptic habit
Many Of the best Physicians OF Albany pres
cribe it for their patienls also Physicians OF roy,
Utica, Rochester, &c.
DIR. l.. Church, of Marshal, Michigan, consid-
ers it ''the best preparation of the kind now in
use"
DIR. S. P. Cunningham, has compared it with
Townsend's, and declares II " cheaper and better
than Townscnd's. s."
Dr. B. F. Fairfield has tested it and finds 1t
=" the best preparation Of sdrsaparllla in the mar
ket."
OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
Albany Freebooter. April 9Th. l947, say" " We
believe DR.. j. S. Woods Sarsaparlla Elixir to
be carefully psepared from articles purely vegeta
BILE, and by skillluI physician, whose standingin
society will secure public conhdence.'
Albany Knckerbocker, of March 18th, I847,
pays the same compliment to DIR. Wood, aud adds
''we think We hazard nothing in saying it Is the
best and most concentrated preparation of Sarsa-
parilIa beh re the public.
Albany Spectator says, Gin the fxedness of
principle and stern integrity of Dr.s Wood we have
assurance that no article appearing under his name
would be other than represented by HIM. -
" His Sarsaparlla stands high wherever it has
been ntroduced.'

HORSE POWER of an entire new PATTERN
These Machines have been examined and proved
by men who have had extensive experience in
threshing, and pronounced to be the strongest ca.
siest running, and most durable machine they
have seen. They are made to Thyesh with, not TO
draw TO and from a shop to be repaired They
are easily set, easily kept in their place, and no
digging is required to set them.
We have had six years experience in repairinr
the different kinds of Horse Powers and Threshing
Machines that have been in use in the west and
we know by this time where they "5reak" and
also OF the loss of time and the dissatisfaction of
the Farmers, as well as something of the cost of
repairing. And we further know that fittv or one
hundred dollars in the first cost of Machine is
not TO be looked at in contrast with poor ma
chlhe' Tor while the former is paying five hundred
per cent on ITS investment, the latter is running the
owner into debt. And we hatter ourselves that
with this experience we have ACQUIRED sufficient
knowledge TO be able to build Machine that will
not "hreak, and one that will not cost half man
can earn TO keep it in repair.
Inc undersigned would take this opportunity of
informing the Public that they have the agency of
the sale of "WIMPLES SEPARATORS.n a ma.
chine which has given such decided satisfaction 10
IT'S use that no testimony of ours is necessary in its
favor " "
We would further state that we have most of
the patterns Tor the repair of the different kinds of
machines IN use, and castings generally on hand.
:, we are also prepared at all times to do any and
all kinds of work in the CASTING. PATTERN
