last been able to learn something OF
interest from that almost unknown
beautiful spot, called Antelope Valley,
on West Walker River. d. ID. Bowen,
who has lived there for years, reports
that farming of every description has
been very successful this year. The
farmers of that valley confined them
selves mostly to raising hay, vege-
tables and fruit. The hay crop is by
far the largest ever known before in
,hat place. Hundreds of tons will be
ready for sale shortly, and is said to
he Of the very best quality. Water
having been abundant last Spring and
this Summer, the vegetables have
proved to be a success, as also nearly
all kinds of fruit-a novelty. by the
way. in this State. Mr.. Bowen re
1nrtS the gold and silver mines in that
locality very numerous. The Napo-
icon Company, for instance, Is one OF
the best that can, perhaps, be found
in the State. Late ASSAYS 90 TO show
that ore taken from the lode of that
mine will pay As high as $1,000 TO the
ton. And since The Virginia and
Truckee Railroad has been commenced
from Reno to Carson City the owners
of this mine have sunk a shaft to the
depth of 30 feet. and find that the
more they sink it the richer the ore
ASSAYS. No doubt this discovery Will
lie one of the richest ever made on the
PaciIic coast. Many others, mostly
farmers, have located mining ground
in that vicinity, and indications are
tIo. a n - ,,flrar trAnI mines can he
found all aloug the hills surrounding
that valley, il prospectei properly.
The settlers are very jubilant on the
prospects of the connection of the
Virginia and I'ruckee Railroad with
the Central Pacific, a. it = their opIn
ion that it viii materially help to de
velop the AGRICULTURAL, mining and
osher Aud. Indeed. the
people OF Antelope Valley are not the
only ones vino look forward with JOY
20 the completion of that great enter
prise; bu. all those whO lnhabI the
southern and western portion OF THIS
State, and those who arc permanently
settled in the adjoining counties of
California wait npatiently for the
connection. They reasonably think
that transportation will he much
quicker and cheaper, and that their
bI>incS> will toe increased largely by
the augmented travel that must nee
e>sarily arise therefrom. Indeed II
surely looks rs though we were on the
eve OF a great revolution in all kinds
Of business. and the people here and
elsewhere are all of that opinion. II
j. to be hoped that their antIcipations
NAV prove true, as indeed we see
nothing in The future Ia the contrary.
Mr.. Bowen also reports that hShing
in the river. which run along Ante
lOpe Valley. is better this year than at
auv time previous; also, thai frostS
whicI. were 50 frequent heretofore are
a~lne!iOratin- considerably; and i;
seems the more the ground is worked
and the q the people settle there.
the less this destroying phenomenon

zeus Of that rich locality on the good
prospects before them.

The grading is not all done vet, as the
railroad company are managing the

and the rails laid about the same ii me.
The gentlemen experimenting the
