DEAR lSDEPExDESr:-As promised
10 give my friends history of my tray
els 10 the western country. take this
method OF giving them some idea Of .
trip across the plains.
We left the city Of Leavenworth the
20ih OF June 1869, bound for Salmon
river mines. There were eigh, Of us.
When we reached the Big Sandy, 1870
miles from LeavenwoT.h city. we were
Joined by four others on their way 10
the same destination. aud we all travel.
ed together from there to Fl. Laramie,
where we fell in with a company Of
fifteen men bound for the same place.
and our company then numbered twen-
iy-seven men. We Travelled from Fl.
Laramie to the south pass successfully,
some 100 miles from Leavenworth
city. We there were overtaken by sew.
enieeD more men bound for Salmon
river mines. In order 10 travel the
shortest route 10 the gold mines, we
took what is called the Landers cut off
to Fl. Hall. But in travelling that route
we found very bad and hilly road.
The Indians were quite troublesome at
times; we could see from so 10 100
scuiking around over the mountains.
We reached Green river and there Law
by 10 recruit our stock. Some of our
men thinking there was no danger of
the Indians went fishing, and some
hunting; but to our sorrow our friend
JAMES G. BAILEY. while fishing about
one mile from camp Was come across
by the Indians who killed and robed
him Of what he mad. The red skins
also msdo several attempts to stampede
our stock, but did not succeed in this.
We were then in the heart of the In
dian country, and i, stood us in hand
to be on our guard both night and day.
We travelled from Green river to Fl. |
Hall successfully. We there learned
the Indians hid joined together. to pre-
vent any more emigranls going to Sal
mon river mines. At Fl. Hall we found
the buildings had all been burnt By the
savages, and the settlers all murdered.
We also found tina. quite a number Of
emigrants had started from there 10
Salmon river but were driven back BY
the Indians. and great many of them
were in destitute condition.
Our company then amounted 10 over
100 men; but It being late in the season
and much farther to the mines than We
it was decided to make for
California. We travelled from there to
Bear river. 100 miles from the great
Salt Lake City. and there our company
livided, some went to Salt Lake 10 stay
'ver winter; but eighty Of our number
we're bound for California. While re.
ruising our stock before leaving camp
leyen families came to US who had
'esn robbed Of every thing they had.
Ne provided for them as best we could
nd started on our trip. The day wo !

robbed by the Indians and had nothing
to eat for seven days. They had left
Virginia City to 60 to the States, and
we're packing through. On reaching
the City Of Rocks they were attacked
by the savages and six out Of their
number killed. as they thought. They
fought the Indians from l2 o'clock I'M
til dark; but lost al their stock, so tha.
they we're compelled TO foot j. after
wards.
The nine that we met the day We
started from Bear river started on foo.
to get to Salt Lake City. They travel.
ed after night and lay over during the
lday. Three days after that we met
Two more Of the same party. who had
been left for dead. One Of them bad
seven bullets in him. 1.-The other was shot
through the body, the ball passing clear
through and coming out on The opposite
side. They had nothing to eat except
iog rose buds for zen days. We reach
ed the battle ground the next day, and
there We found another Of the party siil
alive, which made the eleventh day
without any food. Three were dead,
whom We buried as best We could, and
started on our way. es
We were attacked several times By
the Indians. and out Of the party which
left Bear river eighteen were killed.
From Fl. Laramie to Virginia City,
Nevada Territory is a very noun
famous region destitute Of every thing
that is needful. to make it good coun-
try. Our company came on as far as
Humboldt mines together. Here por-
iion stopped to try their luck; and the
rest Of US came through to Virginia
City. which is built in the mountains,
where there is no. enough level ground
TO set house on without digging. 1t
is built at the foot Of Mount Dawson
said TO be the highest mountain in these
parts. e a
Virginia City is about two years old.
There are about 80 quarts mills in it,
aud it is still improving very fast. This
is said TO be the richest mining country
in the world. aaa .ssf
There is no forming country here. .ex-
cepting in the valleys; and there they
have to irrigate the ground to raise any
thing. Flour is worth $500 per
hundred. beef Is cts. per ID. bacon 30
cts. potatoes 6 cts ID. Hay $50 10 800,
per ton. Stock Of all kinds very high.
Common laborers from $50 TO e75 per
month; mechanics from IS to $500
per day. We are here. about 80 miles
from California. to reach which We
have the Sierra Nevada mountains 10
cross. The snow on tho mountains nj
this time is from ten TO 80 feet deep. ,
This looks rather unreasonable. but such :
is the fact.
