ALsrge Herd Of Camels.

The Virginia City Ehkrpriss Of
September 9th, says: On ranch on
the Carson river, eight miles below
the mouth of Six mile Canyon, and
about seventeen miles east Of the
city, is to be seen . herd of twenty
six camels, all but two of which were
born and raised in this State. But
two Of the old herd Of nine or ten
brought here some years ago are now
living. Il would seem that the orig
inai lot fell into the hands Of Mexi-
cans, who treated them very badly,
oyerioeding and abusing them. The
men Rho have them are Frenchmen,
aud men, it seems, who had formerly
some experience with camels in Eur
ope. They find no difficulty in rear
ing them, and can now show twenty
four fine healthy animals, all Of Was
hoe growth. The camel may now
be- said to be thoroughly acclimAted
in this State. The owners Of the
herd find it no more difficult to breed
and rear them than would be expe-
rienced with the same number Of
goats or donkeys. The ranch upon
which they are kept is sandy and
sterile in the extreme, yet the ami.
mails feast and grow fat on such prick.
Ily shrubs and bitter weeds that nc
other animal would touch. When
| left to themselves, their great delight
after filling themselves with the
coarse herbage Of the desert, is to lie
| and roll in the hot sand. They are
used in packing salt to the mills on
the river from the marshes lying in
the desert some sixty miles to the
eastward. They have animals thai
easily pack LOO pounds.
