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,

As hat already been dated In Ibis re

From Fori Crock, oce hundred sod

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

There is 00 palut between the Sierra
Nevada MouutalnsauJ the Owyhee Mines,

timber, either far building, or for fuel.
Some point near Harney Luke would be
the next best location, to far at the natural

Tho route Just explored will be adopted
early uext Spring by the travel frum North

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

the whole of next Summer. Prom these
points the route cau be effectually guarded,
and a wide rango of country traversed la
