HONEY LAKE VALLEY.--We learn from the
Butte Record, of Saturday, that Messrs McCues-
tian and Payne, Of Oroville, have just returned
to that place from a trip to Honey Lake Valley
They went out on trading expedition, taking
with them one thousand pounds of freight, two
passengers and their baggage. They had pair
of light horses attached to heavy spring wa.
gon, and found no difficulty in going through
without unloading pound of freight, or ma
king the second pull at any point. They express
themselves as highly delighted with the appear
anco of things in Honey Lake Valley, and the
country through which the route passes. The
crops in the Valley are looking finely, and cmi-
grant stock which was driven into the Valley
last fall in poor condition, were excellent
beeves in the spring. Snow to the depth Of six
inches fell at one time during the winter but
disappeared in the course of twenty four hours.
Specimen heads of wheat grown in the Valley,
shows that the soil is capable of producing the
cereal grains in abundance. Although yet
green, these heads are large and well filed,
giving promise of an abundant crop. Corn,
potatoes, turnips, etc., were looking finely.
