" There are immense foresW of
valuable timber, and the valleys ure
exhaustless in their fertility, the
pasturage for livestock is abundant
all the year, and the climate is mild,
equitable and healthful enough
for a perpetual sanitarium. It
is a land of gold and golden grain,
where -alleys that yield 40 to 70
bu. of wheat, from 60 to 110 bushels
of oats, and from 300 to 600 bushels
of potatoes, to the acre, are walled
in by mountains of gold quartz that
run from 15 to fjOOO to the ton,
and watered by streams whose
gravel yields from five cents to 150
to the pan.
"So far as limited exploration

seemed ribbed with royul ore, and
all its gulches and creek beds ex
haustless deposits of golden sands;
with silver, copper, lead and iron
abound, and opals and other preci
ous stones are found in some local
ities. It has produced untold
millions of gold, that in earlier days
went to San Francisco to swell the
reports of Californir's yield.
