It. runs over n bed of white, ' funken pumice Ftone, which gives to the water n remarkable clear appearance. Owing to the light nature of the pumice Rtone; which ia constantly being washed down the current, the bed of this'Rtrcam. ni is the cuc with all others in the valley, in almost a uniform grade, tlio water run .iiinR with tho regularity, of an artificial ditch. Following this dtronm up about three- fourths of n mile, we came to the head. One cannot imncinc n fairer, pight than to we Btich n body of water rollinir nut from ' '-'a mountain of broken basallic rock Im agjne a mountain, feteep nnd rnscod, whose ''"'every sfolhdwR tlie- 'Hnmtstakab'e I flfl ct I of fire, nnd from under henps of gignntic boulders, which had tumbled from pummit to base, a river burpting out in n volume fivo feet def p, nnd' you have a picture of this .. pring.

IJeyond this, a level prairie, rich land, tall grapa. and line springs ''are the clmracteristica of tho country, through which runs White's and Undei wood '8 River?, cncli rising in n spring slmi- . lar to the one already described, There wems to. bo no channels lending from tho mountains into any of these streams. Tho banks of all tho' Btreams in tho alley are low, seldom being mora than two feet high. It is evident that these streams ney rf rr rise above a few inches. Many trees ore cecu where they fell in tho stream7, de cayed and grown over with grars v-hich a rise of 'nix incites would. cvMctitiy- have washcrl atony. We rcltirhell'th 'ramp ifon the hank t nf Kelly's nvtV pnsis Uinrngh many beautiful groves of arpen, p'ue and tain- arac.

On the way home wc saw many notices pnsted, informing all whom it miuht eon- 'Ccm that "I, the undfrsh.'iicd, do claim l(i() irerps of land for farming purposes," etc. We nn'ivvd nt camp still retaining our health ami nppvtibs, of wliieli latter the cook will be ever ready to itear us wiimi. Toward evening we had mmiio iuilieatioiif of rain, nnd about eight o'clock that night we witnessed a turc phi'iionomeii--a rain bow by moonlight, distinctly showing ihc colors seen by sunuliidit. On the fth, quite a number of unlive viited iheemnp with fidi. fealhers, buekdiin, etc. for sale. and we hud it good opportunity ofstmly ing Indian nature und Indian cikiouh. They seem to have no traditions among them as to their oriiriu or history beyond a few years. The mot of them are inter lopers from other tribe, and are or I he most trenchernu and mi'.'nvernableeh.irac ters. Old George confesses to having Imh-ii concerned in an niriir some years ago. near Orepon City, and luul to leave. Srooknm John was concerned in the mur der of the Tvdford party accord in? to the tntement of the other Indian. One In dian by the name of Toha-ln quia, who had quite a heard, on hejinr al-d why he did not pull it nut, replied that God had Iviird. and he wanted to be lilo Ood, so that whn hf died he would tro up when' th y?oon eo. and pet so'h1 ntHchtmnrk, and not go down below with the Sitcm'tci nnd he eat up by thn snakes. This wn the only specimen of Indian theologv I wns nb!e to put her. This wa ndnrkv day for H'rll nhnot every one knows "Inaliu IJill." who sawed wood nround town lat winter. Well. Hill took it into hi head to pet him n wife. Anion? oilier Tndinn who came in that day wa a certain .9miv'i Doctor, who brought' hi own mother in for sale. Bill, it seein. had been watch in? the market for some timn to pet n wife within his means, nnd sivin? the old lady, determined to try for the prize. After joekeyin? for some time, n hurpniu was struck. Bill civin? his hnri blanket, and everythin? ho poseed, ami reeeivin? to Ills arms in return tho object of his nffec tlons. When I left tlie fort. Bill was in the midt of a jnyon linnnymnnn, nnd Ids wife chopping wood, packing wafer, build in? fires nnd making herself ueliil eener ally, for tho purpose of replenishing his wardrobe. The treatment of tlio?e Indians to their captives is most revolting. One of their captives, n young Pitt Itiver squaw of quito a prepossessing mien, whom they hud lutely captured, was really an ob ject nf pity. During the day sho was com pelled to do nil the drudgery she was able to endure, and nt night she was bound with thongs nnd never allowed to leave the pres ence of her captors farther than tho length of -a rope, which was f.istcncd frecurciy around Iter waist. This cruel treatment brought on spasam?, which added greatly to her suffl'rings and the nmuscment of her captors. They also had another squaw whom they had lately captured from the Pitt River's. She had a child Fome six months old. This woman was driven around, ond her child beat over the face nntil tho blood came, by a cruel old hog who delighted to exhibit n kinky-hended half-breed us a mark of her own civiliza tion and refinement. In fact, tho treat ment of these captives is too revolting for tho columns of public print. Old George is a. stout, robust Indian, rather above the ordinary size, lie speaks good Eng lish and seems to bo well verged in Indiun diplomaoy. He affects tin utmost unap proachablo dignity, scarcely deigning to speak to a citizeu when in the presence of an officer. I frequently attempted to gel into conversation with him, hoping to obtain some information regarding tho tra ditions and customs of his people,' but was as often repulsed by his haughty demeanor. As a diplom'st, he 'undertook to gain the good graces of Col. Drew, hoping thereby to obtain the scepter over nil the Indian in tlint vicinity. He cnmtttencid by in forming tlie Colonel of the .misdeeds .CQtn milled at various times by his fellow aspi rants; next, by returning property which the rascally subjects of his opponents hud didinnestly and adroitly tukeii from his white friends. He returned one revolver, four stolen mules und one liois-cj the te volver und one mule being t. S. propeity. But Old George, like other mortals, must have his dflippollitments. (J rent was his indignation when he found llmt his disinterested honesty was not lo be reward ed by ''niimerouo" flour, href and ottnr icltii suitable lo the dignity of an umpiring prince. X.
