meandering streams which were SO full of
speckled- backed trout, that all you had to do
was to throw in your hook and draw them
out They bit like fieas on an Alderman, or
bed bugs on plethoric new conner, and

Speckled trout, it may naturally be inferred,
are a great article of food in Washoe Valley.
(We omitted to mention, in the proper place,
that the party rarrOwly escaped a massacres
from "pherocious and blood thirsty band
of Kanible savages,' who killed and ate four
teen men and six women, a short time ago,
as related by the Plumas Argus. 1t is the
same band that got after G. Amy, not long
since, as he was travelling in the region of
Berry Creek with several compagnons du
royage from Marysville)
Among other noticeable features of Was
hoe Valley, Mike mentions the vast number
Of ,chite tailed hares which "use" in that re-
gon. (White tailed hares and white tailed
squirrels seem to be indigenous to the country
as you near or enter upon the eastern slope
of the Sierra Nevada) These white tailed
hares are so thick in Washoe Valley, (accor-
ding to Mike Buns account) that when you
stir up thcket where they frequent, the
entire plain into which they emerge looks
like a ripe cotton field in a gale.
As to the gold, the whole upper stratum
of the earth is full of it. The only thing
needed is water.
Want Of space only forbids a more extern
sive account of what Mike saw. We may
perhaps alude to the subject again.
