Stein's valley Is another fit those im- mense troughs, or basins, possessing the same general character that obtains io Warner's and Surprise valleys-empbatl- J colly plkaJine, but dotted with a few fertile spots, covered with luxuriant grate, clover, rushes and wild pea-vine. Its general di rection Is north and south, ood at the point wbero we encamped it is about ten miles wide; bavlog along its eastern margin a dry lake with its bottom entirely without vegetation, and In many places to bard as to leave oo impression of our horses' feet after passing over it. lieyond this, vol canic tables formes Hi eastern boundary, extending back eastward to and acroes the Owyhee river.

Some of these it was necessary to replace from l-'ort Uoise. Passing across this valley iu an easterly direction, and up through a wldo and co mmodious csnon io Its eastern rim to the general summit of tho country beyond, wc continued eastward along the old loute over a continuous sand und sage plain, with a few spots covered with fragments of lava, and two small, dry, hard bottomed, basios, to tho laige clutter or tprings thai are the source or Crooked crevk. These springs, perhaps thirty In number, are all or them seemingly pure but illffer- ng somewhat in their temperature. Mooy of them arc deop round holes shaped like , a barrel set iu the ground with Its upper ! bead taken out, the water boiling up with considerable force through their bottoms, All but the largest are thoroughly shaded by manges or the wild parsley. Jietweco and around these springs there Is perhaps two square miles ol tiy good land, covered with a fair groatli of grats. The usual sage and a little grenscwood Is all there Is for fuel.

Thence to Iho loner extremity of Jordon (Tri-lt valley, a distance or four miles, the route is again onr lava and iJ, and through ssgc and some grrawwood, Jordan Creel: valley Is about thirty miles In length, has a genual direction rrom east lo wcrt, und varies in width rrom two to four or five miles. It Is surroundid by n lavs plain, covered with the nrual ngf, x c-pt at Its eastern cxlnmlty uliirc it ! bounded by high grass covered hills which trpcrate It from (he higher hills nnd moun tulns In which uie slluutid the ctkbraled Owyhee mines. It seems eiy well adap ted to grazing, and some portion or It to cultivation. In the taitern portion, nearest to the mil)!, quite a number of land ctalim arc already taken and rudely Improved, and this season fully one hundred ton of hay was cat upon them for the Ilooneville, Ru by Oily, and Silver City markets. Jordon Creek, through nearly the whole length or the alley, was io pools, and or coune its waters are correspondingly poor. Some'or tbctc pools ero deep and four or tiro milts long, and ore soiucwlmt abundant with full. The line or the creek Is heavily fringed with large wlllnwt, aud the moun tains in which it takes Its rise Is quite well Umbered with fir, some pin-, and a little of the cottonwoo-.l. Tbo route from the point where we entered the valley panes eastward along the north bank of thecrcik for a distance of about twenty mllw, when It bears more to Ihe northward, pairing over tome long ranges of hills, and acrnts a small stream of good water called Sucker creek, and forms a junction with tho toll road from Iloonevlllo to Uoise about twelve tulles north of Ihu former place Por personal safety sgalntt the Indians, the few tetllers there are in Jordon crtek valley, meet and remain logelher at night, leaving their potteuloni unguarded, and with no atiursnce only a hope that they will be found undisturbed Ir.tlie morn ing. In the Spring, before our nrrl.al in that vicinity, a citizens afTjIr with Ihe Indians of that neighborhood had occurred, In which several citizens, Including Mr, Jor don, Iho discoverer or Ihe Owjhee placer mines, and for whom Jordon crtek was named, were killed. Colonel Maury, wllb a small detachment from Ft. Itolte, hasten ed to the point of difficulty, but at tbe uatural result of the citizens having taken the chastisement of Ihe Indians into their own bonds, they had retreated, nearly un harmed, to their mountain fastnrstc and beyond the reach of aoy immediate punish ment before Colonel Maury could arrive.
