SALT LAKE IMMIGRANT ROUTE Under thi.
heading the Nevada Transcript of Friday
says:
An immigrant, who came into California.
few days ago, over the Henness Pass route
informed us that he was urgently advised, by
individuals in Salt Lake City and on the val
! ley of the Humboldt, not to attempt the Hen
ness PISS as it the next Thing to imprac
| ticable and by all means TO 20 by Carson
| City and Placervile Our immigrant friend,
happening to have a comfortable share OF
mother wit in his nodde, thought he would
| try what virtue there is in the rule of 'con-
! traries;' and so, instead of following the adj
vice so avishly forced upon him, he drove
his wagons by the way of Mud Like, Pvra-
mid Lake. up the Truckee river, and came
into the Henness Pass turnpike road not far
from Stout's Bridge He says he never did
wiser thing in his life, than in thus reject
ing advice, and folio wing the Suggestions Of
his own stubborn brain BY this route, he
only encountered 25 miles Of desert which
was crossed pretty much in the night. in a
cool atmosphere, each wagon being enabled
to carry sufficient water for the refreshment
and comfort of the draught animals From
the lakes, he found the route 10 be a perfect
paradise for horses and cattle. Meadows,
luxuriating in the tullest sweetest, and most
/ nutritious grasses, mark almost the entire
course of the Truckee, the waters of which
stream cannot be excelled in purity and
| wholesomeness. From Stout's Bridge, which
is several miles east of the summit, to Neva-
| da, our immigrant Ironounces one of the
! finest roads he ever Travelled
! Col. W. Whitman, who, not long since
was Controller of the State of California, and
whose reputation for honor and highmnded
ness needs not our Endorsement, confirms al
that our immigrant friend has stated, as tc
the excellence of the route from Mud anG
/ Pyramid Lakes, up the Truckee Valley, and
along the Heuness Pass road, to Nevada
North San Juan, or wherever, in California
the Immigrant may choose to set up his Eb-
enezer.
