miles of the Southern Rim of the Great Basin distance
of about three hundred and fifty miles and company is
now forming who design making settlement near the

few settlements forming although not extensive in
those directions 1t is desirable that settlement should
be made Marys River in order to preserve peaceful
relations with the Indians in that region They have be-
of late very troublesome to travellers stealing their
animals robbing and killing them they have opportu

the side Of the Tooee where the Indians had become
troublesome it feared that could be maintain
ed With the exception of the Indians Mary's River,
peace prevails among all the tribes towards the whites
within this Territory, although few with
each other but general thing peace and quietness
prevail among themselves This gratifying state of things
it is believed consequent upon the humane and conss
treatment which has always been exercised towards
them by the inhabitants Of this Terrory also atrbu

which prohibits the Introduction of that banefu
and highly Obstructive agent called sprituous liquors

The assessment Of taxable property within the Ter
rory for the past year. you win perceive by reference
to the Auditors report herewith presented shows an
assessed value Of ST. l60,SS3 This result in comparison
with previous years, shows rapid increase Of the
resources Of this Territory, which, properly husbanded

Bile prospect for the rapid Development and extension Of
the energy and enterprise of this young and vigorous
Territory.

foregoing assessment fnes &c., amounts to the sum of
$26,67058 of this amount there has been collected

wheat has also been the with collections already
made Owing the present scarcity of money not over
oneenth of the foregoing amount has been collected In

"The locating Of the seat Of government at Pauvan
valley WILL it is believed encourage settlers to there
and very much facilitate the settlement Of all suitable
places in that region Under all these considerations its
location at that point appears judcious upon its own
merits and will unquesonaby advance the already
porous and vastly increasing of the Territory
