TT, Net,s Of the Goth says:
"Tho weather during the past week mss oeeh rather
cool for the season, though when the wind has not
blown from the mountains it has been quite warm at
times. There has been some showers, and the pros
pect for more is good. Snow has been falling IN the
mountains much of the time At Spingyllle on Iues'
dov week snow was six inches Deep we have been IN
formed aud the people were using seighs. AT otncr
places in the valleys has fallen, but not so deep
thoueb il was five inches deep on the bench near the
mouth of South Mil Creek kanyon, ON Friday morn
IIc Nt,rs, under caption of a Singular Report
thus lets fly at SuIveyorGeneral Burr:
"The Report of Mr.. Burr, Surveyor-General for
Utah which appears in the Report Of the Secretary OF
the Interior compared with the Reports of the Sur
General in other Territories, Is certainly Gu
rious document and exhibits at glance the author
as he is not he should be- as ne has t9id some
filings and some things he has not told some that were
rleyapt 10 his business, but more that were not.
"Amopg the things reported as having been done
;s the amount ofsurveying which he 6eetes has been
faithfully executed ard through what valleys the base
and meTidian lines pass, showing that the transit or
Something else wa. OF the adjustment or that he
was not good at guessing -
He also complains of the expensVeness Oh survey
ing hacking posts for and water for use, tens
,be rr,ce of mules and how much time was spent III
Coir and CO nirg from work that was far away, ana
that The camp and animals OF the surveying parues
had to be guarded and watched but he does moi say
who the contracts were let TO, nor how many lines
were not run nor how many posts were moi set ana
mounds raised though he regrets to say that many
Of the posts have been removed anu tue
DESTROYED some by cattle but more by persons with
| evil intent. :, - =,
yious 10 those acquainted with the circumstances, put
| rs the whole matter WILL we are informed, be re-
ported in due time, do not wish to state the parc
tulars now to prejudice any in advance OF what
| NAV be expected.
10 the world from his discoveries about the houses IL
the Session settlement being made OF adobes two sto-
l,s high without any display of taste, or from bis
report Of the road and general face OF the country
north to Cache valley, lis not either of the
contemplated routes for the Pacific Railroad, from
many other things to which he has called their atten
ton possibly conjecture, but the discovery
that wild geese and ducks plenty in the creeks
| il Cache valley is new and very important, and may
induce few spoitsmen from the States to come out
and take up summer residence there for the purpose
| Of gaming.
| 1.-The story that the people feel inimicaP to the
surveying of the lands in this Territory is not true but
| thew were much opposed to the surveying parties
driving through camping and turning their stock loose
in their fields OF grain aud grass, aud pulling down
simply because they claim the right Of going where
| and doing as they pleased, being United States Of
fcers, they styled themselves; aud If those who
thus iDtruded upon had done as they ought the
ntruders would have taken an off set and been
made to p.y the damages occasioned by their in
! irusion.
| Chow poets could be removed that were never set
a, mounds destroyed that were never raised either
by an or brute, is somewhat mystery, but the ex
penditure Of the SCI 600 Estimated necessary tC
carry on the work another year, for the extension
lines and for surveying the rugged kanyons and snow
capped mountains, if APPROPRIATED, may throw SONS
light Cd the subject"
| The WHEAT CRoPs.-SO far as we have heard, the
wheat crops in this Territory as general thing, lool
| remarkably well, and the prospects for an abundan
harvest were never better There is plenty Of waite
for irrigation, and with few exceptions there is no
much probability of there being any scarcity in thi
and the adjoining counties during the season. Their
| is any amount Of snow in the mountains and if tn
gIssshoppers do not make another visit this Summer
The husbandn an will be very likely to realize all tina
hi. industry and management viii warrant him TO ex
pect at the time of harvest
