ST. JOSEPH, Monday, June % 1850
BY the arrival of the Pony Express we have dates
from Carson Valley TO June 3, and also the following
correspondence to Tile 81. Joseph Gazette:

little mining prospecting is being done, yet the conf

The Indian disturbances affect the mining region
now but it il thought they will be over the
force in the field will be able TO subdue them and
reduce them 10 submission, or drive them beyond the
limits OF projected mining explorations. With this
prospect the population viii doubt begin to
