After lircakfinl. wc Btarled out in com

bade of tlie po.i rnna Fort Creek, twenty
five yards wide und two feet deep on nn
nvcrnpe. 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

the head of Kelly's Itiver, To describe
tliis would only be n repetition, on an ex
tended scale, of what ba" been said of the
' bead of Fort Creek. 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

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,

They seem to have no traditions among

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.
