FROM DEATH yALLEY.-The miners
who have returned from the Deth
Valley stampede all give concurrent re-
ports. They say that Death Valley is
dried-up, desolate, timberless region,
and that Breyfogls's gold deposits are
myth. But little gold was found in a
canyon putting down into the valley
'colors so fine and few" as one ex-
pressed it, "that it would take thousand
to weigh mill and a million pans OF dirt
to weigh dollar A number are still
prospecting in the Death Valley Noun.
tains, and declare their intention to find
paying deposits of silver or gold before
coming back, if they have to prospect
until this time next year. The Death
Valley region may disclose something
yet.
A Rich SrRIKE.-A four-foot body of
ore was night before last struck in the
Emperor ledge, between the Bowery and
Alps, we are informed, which is said TO
ASSAY 1000 to the ton. This strike has
created considerable excitement on the
streets, and we hope future develop
ments will realize the sanguine expecta-
tons of the owners. The Emperor is
owned by nine practical miners.
OvER-EsTIMATED - Parties who last
night arrived from Wallapai say our last
report from there over-estimated the
population--that there are not over six
hundred men in Cerbat, Chloride and
Mineral Park combined. The three
CAMPS being only five miles apart, and
men constantly passing from one town
to the other, il is very natural that the
population should be over-estimated.
LAKE VALLEY is about fifty miles north
of Phoebe. it comprises several fine farms,
which can be easily irrigated, and timber
| for fencing purposesssis conveniently near.
There are some good wild hay tracts in
Lake Valley. We get this information
from Mr.. Edwards, farmer of that Sec
ton.
FREIGHT TEAMS SNow-BoUND.- A large
number of freight teams, from Toano to
Phoebe, are reported to bs snow-bound
between Steptoe and Cave valleys. Loose
stock were being driven over the divide to
break down and pack the snow.
CROWDED OUT. - The late hour at
which the Presidents inaugural address
was received precluded the publication
in this issue of the proceedings OF the
County Commissioners. They will APP
pear tomorrow.
THERE is said to be large quantities o
hay in lower Meadow Valley, the condi
ton of the roads preventing the ranch
men from bringing it into market. 1t i
