The advutiiugc rained, If jnurefl'iirts ehould be suioessful, would be well worth the risk incurred to obtain It, as the distance to Warner's valh-y would be much lees limn by our old route, and the adaptutlnn of ilto country to travel, biynnd j the Pu bio tnountulii, mid tho means of subslUlug our anlmalt there, could Imrdly beor.y worse.

At the time of our crossing, the day was tlrur, and fiom the summit, Warner's mountain was In plain view dinctly to Ihe westward, ami Jutting p-ist Its southern extremity could be seen the dark outlines of one of the Sierras pel'. situated north of tho old emigrant pasf, nt Surprise Vnlley. The desert plain upon which we entered, after effecting this crossing, extends along tho western bote of Stein's mountain, and its continuation' northward, as far as il. in cwt tvAtttrnr.1 in nnd nlrtnc Warner's mountain and valley, while ,1C 1'utl.lo mountain circle round It; southern Mtremllv.on nine at the nolnt where wi. entered Pueblo vulley, on our outward march. Along Ihe bate of Stein's mountain, slnp tnir (Iovmi to tlic level or the plain, Is n strip of good hndjvarylnj in width from one to four or Ore miles, and covered with a luxuriant eronth of the various .n,i grasses, including a few patches ol clover, mi H khiitmI liv atri-Bnia nniilnc down a frnm ih, mountain.

From a nolnt nboul ten miles north of the place where we entered this plain, our . course was nearly due west, with Warner's mountain directly before us. The first! day's march from this point, however, we explored under greut difficulties. The south winds prevailed for several successive days, bringing with them such a mass of smoke as almost to obscure the tun ; hiding everything in the way of landmarks, render ing explorations in advance extremely aim colt, and a movement of tbe entire com- ln8n( uPon nn unlsn'"rn desert, without tuts precaution, ImpruJent.tnd Imasrdous. j Wo were nlo In the vicinity of another horde of Ind'ant, the same with whom !

The uui(rin cheerfulness and alacrity wills which the men, und ull who were In any way connected with the conimsiwl, performed their duties, added grently to the pleasure ami Interest of the trip. The several trains also, who travel ed under oar escort, conformed dimfullr to all regulations Imposed on tl clr account, both as to the order or tiuvel, aud the lr disposition at camp an exception to Ihe general rule In all such ct.se s. In the conclusion of this report, I woulj most respectfully suggest that a permanent post established In (Jocio Lake Valley, near Its northern extremity, vvheio there are all the natural requisites for its main. talnance on en economical scale, would be of vast benefit to thi frontier retlluneiits, extending from Jtd JI.'ulT. California, to Kugtnc City. In Middle Oregon, a distance or three hundred and tighty-two miles, and Including In the range, Shasta City, Wta verville, Yreka, Jacksonville und Jtcsu burg, and would doubtless hasten the I rlod when military proteotion any where along this fronllfr'cau be happily disjanted Willi. As hat already been dated In Ibis re port, the upper portion of (Joose Lake Valley Is neutral ground, as between the Snake, Piute, Upper Pitt River, Modoc, and Klamath Indiaas; but the country In fested by each or these tribes respectively, borders directly upon it, and taken at a whole, rorm ititnliro boundary Its sur rounding, are such at will admit or the rapid movement of troops in any direction lliut might bo required. A pest once es ,ubllll(lj ,tflf ,ie liwn thoroughfares I . . ... . ... 1 northward from Ihe two principal points in California Red Hluff und Yreka and others respectively from Jacksonville, in Southern Oregon, und hugene City, In I Middle Oregon, Reading's toute from old fort Ilolw.tbc new route from Fort Dolse, and the Owyhee, and the old Southern Oregon Kmlgraut reute, would converge to, and radiate directly from it, and would that render any portion of the surround Ing country readily accessible to troops, end to the public. ILc distance ttoa, scd to, principal points, would bo at followt : From Fort Klamatb, one buodreoj and ten miles; from Jacksonville via Fort Klsmatb, two hundred milts. From Yreko, portion of route to be opened, two hundred and thirty miles. From Fori Crock, oce hundred sod twenty mllef. or upwards. From Hed niuD, route can be explored, urobabty uot lu exceed two hundred sad fifty miles. Fiom Kugene City, route to bo explor, cd. probably about two hundred and six ty Dittos. Itoute thence to Surprise Vallsj, forty; four ml'cs. ., To Pueblo intoes, by wagon rsatJ. one hundred and twen; also ulle...imr To Owyhee mines, osw route, two hundred and seventy miles. To Port Uolie, tame route, three hun. dred sod thirty miles. Troops can be maintained st this polot much cheaper tbuii at Fort Boise or unywhere In that region and operations lu the Iudien country northward of It t Malheur springs, und around to the east ward to Huruey Luke, snd the Owyhee region, and of course st all tho other points lu Its vicinity, can be more ctTctt Ivcly conducted vvilb this point as tbtlr base, and at much lest expense, than rrom Purt Dalles, Walla Walls or Dulse. At this polut the movement of troops, la any direction, would be la a hostile Indl an country, and consequently no time would be lost In moving either way tiirooih any portion of It. Tho saving In cxpeuis would be mainly on the score of transport tatlou. Flour and bicon could be drawn rrom Rogue River valley, whence they are now procured fur Poit Ivlsinalb, and such supplies as It would bo necesiary to pro cure from Dfarlmtnl Headquarters, would be shipped up the Sacramento river to Ited IJ'utI and from thcuce would Lave bat about two hundred and flfly miles ur Isod carriage to their destination. That a great saving would thus be msde over shipments from San Pianciseu to Portland, thcocs to Furt Vancouver, tbeuce up Ihe Columbia to Furls Dalles sod Walla Walls, end dually across the country far to Ihe norlk. ward and eastward of the points wbers a largo porlon cf them aro required to bt used, cau be very readily observed. There is 00 palut between the Sierra Nevada MouutalnsauJ the Owyhee Mines, alung the route we explored, that affords timber, either far building, or for fuel. Some point near Harney Luke would be the next best location, to far at the natural requisites for a post aro concerned) bat the necessity for a post there It not to great at at the polut suggested. Tho route Just explored will be adopted early uext Spring by the travel frum North em California and Southern Oregon, to and from the Owyhee and Holso regions, and ut best, troops at Oo)io Lake, War tier's Vulley, Stein's Valhy, snd near Jor dan Creik Valley, will be required during the whole of next Summer. Prom these points the route cau be effectually guarded, and a wide rango of country traversed la every direction, tho Indians prevented from gathering their usual supplies for the ntxt winter, ami thus driven to more remote re glons, or forced to a surrender.
