wAsuoE-NoTEs OF TRAVEL.
GcoIog, efthc Conntr,.


The whole region Of country through
which we passed from the head Of Carson
Canon to the point where we left the foot
hills. near tbe forks of the Truckee. presents
uniform geological and typographical ap-
pearance granite, in highly metamorphic
condition, abounding in volcanic rocks and
basaltic formations. The mountain slopes
are serraied with deep ravines, but their
asperites are generally smoothed down by
the yielding nature OF the underlying rock.
which covers their surfaces with fac Z" shin
sle " TO considerable depth. rendering the
construction OF Ioadways and trails a mat
ter Of very little labor. The SUBMITS Of the
mou nj tans and hills are mostly free from
timber or any vegetation whatever. Their
sharp outlines aud bleached aud barren
slopes often present appearances exceedingly
unique and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. tapering
off into perfectly smooth and curve like
SUBMITS, as the Sugar Loaf, near Virginia
City. and again. like many Of the more ele-
vated SUBMITS in the same neighborhood.
sharply protled against the sky, like the
outlines of some huge castellated ruin.
FACILITIES FOR PROSPECTING.
The pecnliarities of the country afford
great facilities to the prospector in his
search for mineral. The soft bed rock v
yielding easily TO the action OF the elements.
and the barren character OF the hills, free
from alluvial soil or vegetation. brings
prominent to the eye of the prospector the
more enduring and stubborn quartz, which
is oiteu seen cropping out in huge cliffs, ten
fifteen and twenty feet above the surrounding
country. For the above reasons, what are
denomirated " blind veins " are very rarely
met with. The quartz veins are general y
exceedingly heavy. The Comstock lead.
where It vas first opened is fully fifteen feet
thick. The Virginia Ledge, some few hun
dred feet above, may be distinctly seen from
its eastern approach, where no hills intervene
for sevenl miles before you reach it, looking
like huge castellated wall, rising up per-
pendicular from the side OF the hill. Gold
Hill is nothing but little mountain OF
quartz, its base covered with the deb'i IS
which has fallen from its summit. The
quartz protrudes frsm the summit in huge
jagged pinnacles from Is 20 20 feet high.
The thickness of the ledge is not known. but
it cannot be less than from 60 to 100 feet.
The portion now being worked is uoihin g
more than a mere crevice 10 the main ledge
some sir or seUen feet thick, and mostly
filled with decomposed sulphurets of iron
rich in gold. The Mammoth Lead, in the
Flowery Districts SO named from its NAM
moth poportions, and the '' Lady Bryan" in
the immediate viciHity, at the point where
the company is now at o.k presents an i'm
mense ledge of unknown thickness, and crop
ping out in jagged clilis to the height Of 10
or 20 feet above the surface, The Desert
and many other leads in that vicinity present
the same mammoth proportions.
THE MINERAL RE GIoN EXTENSIVE.
Nevada national., 1860-06-09
THE MINERAL REGION EXTENSIVE.

Such are the general features Of that por-
tion of the country which we examiEed The
breaking out OF the Indian war soon after
our arrival at Virginia City, rendering any
extended explorations. subsequent to that
time. extremely hazardous, we were obliged
to come away without having examined so
great an extent Of the country as we had
proposed to do. Judging, however, from the
reports OF others, there can be but little or
no doubt but that the entire eastern slope
from the Mexican boundary to the Oregon
line is rich ia silver and presents vast and
promising field for exploration. Though ex-
tending north and south for several hundred
miles the silver region constitutes but mar
row belt bounded on the east by the Desert
which skirts along the foot hills, and on the
west by the abrupt elevation OF the main
chain Of the Sierra, where the primitive, un-
changed granite has been forced up through
the metamorphic rocks Immediately over
lying il. This belt varies in width from Is
to 20 miles, and often contains within its
boundaries beautiful valleys well adapted to
grazing, raising vegetables, and perhaps a
few Of the cereals. But very little timber
is found except in the extreme western limit
of the belt, al the foot of the main Sierra.
Those who have crossed the plains to CAL
ifornia will recognize in the description
already given, a very close resemblance to
the general features Of the Great Basin and
we are assured by those who have travelled
extensively in the region Of the country to
the east Of the great desert. that the indi-
cations OF mineral there are very similar to
those which we see within the present known
limits of the silver belt. As soon as the
present Indian difficulties are settled, pros
pecting parties will put out across the des-
ert, and we may then expect to hear of dis
coveries in that region which will fully equal
anything yet known of in the washOs coun-
try.

80 Hennc~s Pas. Turnpike Co."

The surveyors are pushing ahead their
work upon this road with commendable dis
patch. The unprecedented amount OF snow
the pan season, aud the late continuance Of
winter has retarded the work much more
than was anticipated, but the road has al
ready been laid out as far as Jackson's
Ranch, and contracts for grading Bowman's
(Eureka) Hill are 10 be let to-day. The
maximum gaade over this bill is emily ten
inches to the cd, and there Is not over one
and 4 half miles that requires as high as
eight. TIE balance of the grade is ex-
ceedng favorable much more so than was
anticipated. and the cost will be very light.
The distance from Eureka to Canon Creek
will not exceed five miles, and the elevation
saved by the new gIade over the old road
will exceed one third. The surveyor, Mr.
Geo. Robinson, was at Sardine Valley the
first OF the week, taking a preliminary sur
vey Of the ground on the other side OF the
summit. lie pronounces 1t one the best
routes for a mountain road which be has
ever seen. We hope TO receive bis report in
full at an early day.
wsrkmen are already engaged in cutting
a three foot trail aleng the newly sur
veyed road way to Jacksnn's. so as to make
il passable for mules until the wagon road
grade can be completed. The same plan
will be pursued whenever necessary, en-
other parts of the route, by which means
travel will begin TO be concentrated on this
pass even before the road is fairly opened.
The Henness Pass Co. is already or will
he consolidated with the Truckee Bridge
and Road Co. SO as to place the entire road
from Eureka through to Steamboat Valley
under one control. The work along the
Truckee was commenced some weeks since
and will be completed in advance OF the
road on this side. new road will be con-
structed during the summer affording much
easier grade up the Washoe mountain from
Steamboat Valley. than the one now used.
We look with much earnes tness and interest
to an early completion of this read, when
we feel confident that the citizens OF Nevada
county will be able to show by far the best
and nearest route from the commercial centre
Of the State to the heart of the rich silver
mining district on the Eastern Slope.
