From the Muddy and Los Vegas.

Deputy Sheriff James returned to Pr
oche few days ago from the Muddy and
Los Vegas, after an absence of two weeks.
He was called to these remote localities
in an official capacity, being entrusted
with the serving of summonses and post
ing Of notices in several tax suits. He
went down through Meadow Valley Wash,
and struck ths Muddy at the head of the
valley; followed the Muddy down to St.
Thomas, the lowest settlement on that
river. He viewed the wheat and barley
crops in the valley, which were more than
half harvested when he left. Both crops
showed a good return, it being estimated
that the barley would yield from 80 to 80
bushels to the acre and the wheat from
% to 30 bushels. There were about q
acres sown in wheat and barley by the
white settlers in Muddy Valley this sea-
son; besides about so acres cultivated in
the valley by Indians, who have been so
far civilized as to turn their attention to
agricultural pursuits; they sowed wheat
principally. The major portion of this
land will be re-planted in corn, beans,
etc., the climate and soil being adapted
to raising two good crops every year,
which is a great consideration with far
mers, and will render lands in that valley
of great value as soon as railroads enable
them to ship their products to market.
Irrigation is being used quite extensively
there are about 40 miles of irrigating
bitches, constructed by the Mormons
some years ago, which serve to irrigate
the lands now in cultivation.
At Los Vegas the crops are superior to
those on the Muddy. About 100 acres
were cultivated in barley and wheat by
the white settlers this season, and they
| will have about the same acreage in corn,
ity raised about Is acres in wheat, besides
beans, squashes, melons, etc.
The people Of the Muddy and Los
Vegas, both whites and Indians, are very
much opposed to the establishment Of a
reservation in that section; the Indians
are especially averse to the proposition.
The Indians sustain themselves by hon.
est labor; they are industrious and fru.
gal, and have now slowed away large
quantities of food from last years crops
They argue that the presence of white
settlers among them stimulates the In.
dams to industrious habits and prevents
Generalization among them.
The people on the Muddy feel the need
of better road from their settlement tc
Phoebe, and are about petitioning the
Board Of County Commissioners for al
appropriation to improve the road lead
ing from the Muddy to this place. W,
hope their wishes will meet with favor
able consideration from the Commission
ers.

A Wise Preoeatien.

Mr.. Brown, the accomplished Gen.
erai Superintendent Of the B. Il NJ. r..
r., at this place, informs us that dur
ing the excessively cold weather, while
accidents were Of such frequent occur
renee on railroads generally, that his
company adopted the wise precaution
Of posting watchmen along the entire
road, and that each one Of them pass
es over his beat Immediately after the
passage of each train, to see that every
thing is right, SO that travellers on that
road and the G. B. h O., have the as
surance that trusty man has just been
ahead OF them to see that there is no
broken rails lying in readiness to hurl
them incontinently into eternity. Dur
ing desperately cold weather, while the
iron is full of frost, and the ground
frozen hard, so that there is no give or
elasticity in it, accidents by broken
rails, are much more common than at
other times. To avoid these calami-
tiles so far as human sagacity can 60,
is the object Of these companies in this
matter. for which they are entitled to
