Breeding CameIs in Nevada.

On a ranch on the Carson river, eight
miles below the mouth of Six-mile can
on, is to be seen herd of twenty-six
camels, all but two of which was born
and raised in Nevada. But two of the
old herd of nine or ten brought here
some years ago are now living. It
would seem that the original lot fell in
to the hands of Mexicans. who treated
them very badly, overlooking and abus-
ing them. The men who now have
them are Fr9nchmen, who had formerly
some experience with caRels in Europe.
They find no difficulty in rearing them,
and can now show twenty-five dne
healthy animals, all of Washoe growth.
The camel may now be said to be thor
Oughly acclimated In the state. The
owners of the herd find it no more diff
ticult to breed and rear them than would
be experienced with the same number
OF goats or dOnkeys. The ranch upon
which they are kept is sandy and sterile
III the extreme yet the animals feast
and grow fat on such priekly shrubs and
bitter weeds as no other animal would
touch. When left to themselves their
great delight, after filing 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 that easily pack
eleven hundred pounds.

They are a remarkably healthy people.
They are seldom sick, and there appears
to be about 100 births, to one death.
Hardly squaw that is over sixteen and
and under sixty years of age can be
seen who has not q pappoose slung on
her back. What shall be done with
these people? viii one of these days be
q question that must be answered IN
some way,as ther' seems to be no like
Iibood of their dying off. Among the
Piutes to work is considered no dis
grace, and their biggest brave IS not
ashamed to be seen handling an axe or
saw The women are quite industrious
and the men are always ready to work
when coin is shown them. Their great
est vice and their ruling passien is
gambling. They play among them
selves, and when they have money cards
are never out of their hands. "
