ii. L. TICKNER, Agent Wells, Fargo
& Co., Carson, Nev.-Dear Sir:
l notice that at meeting (4th inst,
of the Yosemite Park Commissioners,
| favorable consideration was entertained
relative to the construction of a saddle
trail so far as the edge of the Grant,
having in view the opening of CON-
municatlon to the Mono trail. This is
a shorter route, through picturesque
regions and would surely attract an inn
mense travel. This subject is entitled
to the earnest attention of the people of
| Reno, Carson, Virginia City, Hawthorne,
Bodie and Lundy, as well a those who
reside in the vicinity of ali those places,
| for all would be more or less benefited
| by the tide of sightseeing humanity.
Thus a vast panorama of Natures own
painting would unfurl, such as would
invite repeated visits. Mono Lake,
with all the strange wonders connected
Herewith, and the gigantic hills of
Tiega and Homer Mining Districts,
gems of lakes, waterfalls and the grand
and majestic views that so abound
from various points en- route over and
along the crest of the great Slerras
would present constantly recurring
objects of interest, so attractive that
tens Of thousands might consistently
feel thrill of sorrow for having failed
to enjoy the pleasures incident to the
trip. Yours truly,
II. n. III. BROWN.
With road opened from Carson to
the Yosemite the vast tide of travel
which reaches the beautiful valley
would during the summer season be of
great advantage to Carson. Lucky
Baldwin, who owns the Tallac House
and whole square miles of property in
the vicinity, proposes to re-establish
the old overland stage route which, be-
ginning in Carson, passes up by way
of Genoa, through Glenbrook and
winds around the lake shore to Yanks,
from thence over the Sierra mountains
some Of the most picturesque
scenery on the coast. AT present no
stages run over the road, and a portion
Of it from the old stage route to the Big
Trees is little more than saddle trail.
With Baldwin's money expended on
The road. its old, time glories will re-
turn and the CHEEKY shout of the stage |
1river urging his six flying horses |
along the grade will resound once more
among the pines. People coming from
The East could be induced to take the
Carson instead of the Truckee route,
md as the travel toward the valley is
yearly increasing, the time is not far
Instant when we will reap the most sub
;tantial benefits from the opening of the
lew road.
John Russell, the noted journalist,
hus speaks of the valley in an inter-
view with reporter of the San Fran
.isco Chronicle GAS to the Yosemite"
aid the veteran journalist, plunging
nto a review of his late movements,
Il can only say that the reports of its

re by no means exaggerated. The
cenery is suggestive of the Alps seen
It their best, but one has to visit half a
lozen of famous places of Europe to OBJ
erve as many natural attractions as are
ombined in the Yosemite valley.
