MOUSTASEA o Lis 4coc-
DEAN UxcLE:
Well We are at our journeys end, in
good health and spirits, and know enough
Of the country to say, come in the Spring.
BRING with you provisions, such as -four,
bacon, sugar and coffee also nails, and
quicksilver. Don't load your teams too
heavy, and do not undertake to come
with horses; they cannot stand the trip.
Oxen or mules only can be relied upon
So far, the climate is admirable.
Come the Platte river route-the old
Utah road. We are wintering four miles
from the mouthsof Cherry Greek.
Gold can be found in abundance any
where here. Don't come with the ex-
pectation of making a fortune in a month,
and without labor. While all surround
ing circumstances are propitious, the gold
must be dug out of the ground.
Do not bring beef cattle; there are
more here now than will be eaten in three
years, and more coming.
Yours, A. c. EDWARDS.

True Delta as local editors At the first fire, the re
preventative of the Crescent was severely wounded
in his breast, but at latest accounts strong hopes Of
his recovery were entertained. His antagonist had a
