We arrived at Camp Alvord on the 2Glb i

we found all tbe wild grasses abundant, and

many places with clover and small rushes.

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

were also very sick, Including Acting As

dyscntury rendering It necetttry for Dr
Ureer to perform the medical service for
that command for the time being, In addi
tion to that of our own, aud to share with
It tho medical supplies which Ihe uiccmI
tic ol the case required. Some of these
it was necessary to replace from l-'ort

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

These springs, perhaps thirty In number,
are all or them seemingly pure but illffer-

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

all there Is for fuel.

to the mil)!, quite a number of land ctalim
arc already taken and rudely Improved, and
this season fully one hundred ton of hay

Por personal safety sgalntt the Indians,
the few tetllers there are in Jordon crtek

leaving their potteuloni unguarded, and
with no atiursnce only a hope that
they will be found undisturbed Ir.tlie morn

vicinity, a citizens afTjIr with Ihe Indians
of that neighborhood had occurred, In
which several citizens, Including Mr, Jor

uatural result of the citizens having taken
the chastisement of Ihe Indians into their
own bonds, they had retreated, nearly un
