WALKERS RIvER.-Mr G.. S. Lauman has Civ
en- the Placervile american an account Of some
discoveries made by himself and others, in the
region of Walkers river, which lies about one
hundred aud fifty miles south OF Carson Valley.
The discoveries were made last April. When
the party arrived at the river they found the
Indians numerous, who Informed them that four
white men had been there the year previous aud
found gold, but that they had been murdered by
the Indians. Numerous boiling springs were
found about six miles east of the river From
one of these springs white polished pebbles,
about the size of quail shot, were continually
thrown. At the head of the east fork of Wal
ker's river they found handsome valley, fif-
teen miles in length and eight in width, without
timber, but well watercd and admirably adapt
ed to agriculture and grazing purposes. Wher-
ever the party prospectcd for gold they aver
aged from five to seven cents to the pan. The
dirt is easily worked, and the gold appeared to
be distributed all through the soil. Mr.. Lau-
man believes the day is not distant when there
will be extensive mining operations carried on
in that region. Even now, a party sufficiently
large to protect themselves from the Indians
say from twenty to thrty-hc thinks, would
meet with good success.
