To the Senate and House ef Representatives.:
In accordance with an old established
custom, II becomes my duty as Execu-

We feel thankful fof the abundant
blessings We have enjoyed doTiny the
year just past, and congratulate our

prcts for the future. We nre at peace
with the world. and poiut with feelings
OF pride at the wise course pursued
which has !eA to u final, ju-t and sat
isfactoTy settlement OF our difficulties.

Tuscarora upon the fall Of stocks, whero-
by they are within the rcnch Of those
with limited means. the fact TINT we
lost 800 on Falcon and Rock Creek,
cuts no figure in this stateme. &. -s %
We recommend that Minister be
appointed to reside in Mountain City,
as that once powerful but now wasted
county may recuperate. md in an
emergency Minister from n power like
ours would be Of great assistance in
maintaining the dignity OF tire ma.

We also recommend that early action
be taken iu conjunction with the au-
tLorities of Hick District, looking to
the completion OF tho cansl from TINT
place to the Cope Road. We would
respectfully suggest that the canal pass
by the Cupital Of Island Mountain,
which will enable US to tighten them of
few bars OF bullion. M. .... -
We would urge upon your Honorable

two hundred commissioners to act with
a like delegation from Mardis District,
to arrange to secure the trade Of that
place to Elko. aud that Deeth be rs-
quested to recall her delegation, under
the pain Of incuring our iispleasure.
II, as suggested, We build a canal to
Mnrdis District, they ought as loyal
and law-abijing people to have its ter.
minus at Elko, and il Deeth wants any
highway more than the G. p. II. r., let
her find some place to build on.
As our relations with China are Sc,
r'ne, we think i; would be advisable to
purchase n few schoonrrs of her. and
let her subject here bear, the burden OF
expense, ,...,-..........
We recommend that onr entire ma.
lional de: be paid as early rs the 10Th
Of June, that our credit may be good
in the future; tliat the several tribes Of
Indians be looked after, aud force used
