The Salmon and KIamoth Country.

Mr. John Martin, who has recently returned
from the Klamath country, informs us of the fol-
lowing facts:
The old trail to Salmon river goes over numer
Gus high peaks they design an improvement
which will pass round the hill sides and save ten
miles-so that the distance can be made from
Weavervile in one day. The road from Salmon
river TO Orleans Bar, on Klamath, is not so good.
That place, county seat of Klamath, consists of
two stores, Court House and JAIL blacksmith
shop, and dozen or so of dwellings, situated Go
miles from Humboldt Bay, from which supplies
come. The klamath there is about like Sacra-
mento river, at Red Bluffs, and is a beautiful
stream. To reach Salmon river from here half q
mile of hard packed snow is to be crossed-dis
tance 40 miles. Miners there are making from
eight to ten dollars a day-such of them as were
interrogated. Trick d Co., who have the most
considerable place, have completed large ditch,
carrying rs sluice heads, and dscharging between
Tricks place and Cecilville.
New diggings are being opened at Grizzly Fork
and Rattlesnake, 80 miles northwest of Weaver
vile, where the miners are reported to be doing
we'll But one pack train has been to Salmon
river this season, and that went half loaded over
the upper trail, where the snow is very deep
they say from ten to twenty feet. Lees Express
will run to the Forks of Salmon, GO miles from
this place. The distance over Salmon mountain
is ten miles, up and down, by the old trail,
new will shorten the climbing distance one half
The mountain between that and Orleans Bar is
25 miles across, very high and steep, with no way
Of getting round it.

Nomads of the Mine.

The inhabitants of central and northern Asia,
and the Numidians of Africa, have been accus-
toned to wander about, with their flocks and
herds, in search of spontaneous pasturage they
were called Nomads' because of their life in the
wood, which in the Greek language is signifed by
Il word similar in sound. But we have nomads
without herds-nomads of the mine, who wander
about perpetually, never at rest, never satisfied
with here always alert for The first sound of
the pioneers axe, ever ready to strike their
camps and follow dim and dangerous paths
Thus has civilization extended from the first camp
FIRE on the western continent, until its progress
was stayed by eastward-coming waves at lands
end. Still restless emigration chafes along the
sea shore northward toward frozen latitudes, ex
ploring every cape and promontory in hope of a
better country.
From everywhere they are going to a newly
heard-of place, from which the rigors of winter
will drive them poverty stricken, shivering and

will not have time and means to prepare for
conflict with the ice-ladened storms that breed on
the northwest coast winter will catch them i'll
provided in tents and bark shanties, and will trail
bis frozen pinons about their sorrowful camps.
1t is fact that the first adventures in new
mines retain less money than they who come a
year or more after they bear the burden of the
day, and others, following slowly in their foot
steps, with keener scrutiny find and bear away
the treasure sought. If we designed emigration
to the far north, we should be little concerned
for the diminution of chances In six months or q
year. Although incompatible with the enterpris-
ing genius of frontiersmen, we should wait until
others had beaten the trail and 10 some degree,

perhaps, plentiful as here but we question the
