ssud pounds Of freight to Carson Valley. A
e.utIemau frOm Lake Valley informs Us that
he passed, on Tuesday, eighty-six wagons and
twelve mule trains, ell heavily loaded with goods
for the silver diRgings. The roads are repre-

sliRhtly cut up by the large, heavily loaded
wagons passing over them. Notwithstanding
the putting Of the Big Tree and Northern routes,
the bulk Of the travel, as the above conclusivcly
proves, is over the constantly misrepresented
PIaeervilIe route. Gentlemen who have tried
other routes, give the preference to the Placer
willie route. 1t Is not probable that tcamsters
would select the wVTst and longest route.
