, Thb Great Vallky or th Payttk'XTib
Great V l!ey of the Payette, h a name rom.
inonly given lo a large body of agrieultiiial
lands lying along the Lake Fork of the Pay
elte, a stream wlrich rises just sotiih of War-'
roll's Dii;rinps, and flows due south to the
Payette River, about twenty miles above Horse
shoe Bend.. Its geographical location is be
tween the meridians of 115 and UC west
from Greenwich, and the parallel of 44 and
45 30' north. On the east, running nearly
jmralln! to the Lake Fork, from south to north,
is the West Fork of Salmon River ; and ou the
west, running from north to south, is the
AVeiser River. The great valley is hemmed
in on all sides by high mountains, having gen
tle slopes, partially covered with t growth of
piue, lir, luurel and other trees and shrub',
with bright streaks of grass intermixed; but
to get out on to the waters ul the rivers which
bound its flowiigo e.ist and west, terribly pre
cipitous mountains must be descended. The
valley drains through an impassable caflon
into tuo main stream, and nt its ngth end
there is a convenient pass over on to Little
Salmon. Tlio average widih of the arable
land, from east to west, may be 6even miles,
nnd from north to south, its length is eighty
wiles. About half way of its length there is
ii ridge of a hundred feet In height, with open,
grassy slopes, which divide the valley into
what is culled the upper' and lower vulleyf.
Either of these has the same verdant, lake
like level, and the course of the Lake Fork
through the whole length of this magnificent
stretch of lands, is marked by a fringe of Cot
tonwood, alder and willow.
- In July the landscape is embellished with a
great variety of bright colored flowers, and
the waving mead we, the rustling Cottonwood?,
the dark firs and evergreen pineB, with long,
quiet visias up grass-grown slopes, or between
verdant creek bottoms, joined to the splendid
colors with which nature loves to paint the
face of the earth, presents to the wearied eye,
blurred with looking on man's artificialities, a
scene which strikes upon the Bensea, with
(spring-like freshness. Cuming from thb south,
the Guise and Lewiston trail runs up the val
ley, nnd toward its head, the mountain' ridge
toward the east towers up into isolated
groups of crags of chalky whiteness, which
present a curious resemuluuce In shape to the
Hut, fan 1 ke cactut, so much used for fences in
California and Mexico. If the traveler will
ascend the mountain slopes to the east, he
will have a view tar down beneath him of the
bare, gianita cniljni out of which flow the
western waters of the West Fork of Salmon'
From a point nearly opposite the head of the
great valley, be can look along au almost per
pendicular barrier of white granite, a thou
sand feet Ugh, down which there is no path.
save for the ibex, and at the foot of this crag
are seen many little lakes, which no wind
ever ruin -s fringed to the edge with, dark
firs, which are mirrored iti the po.ished sur
face of l''e water, in their native colors.
The Ciiinbsb in Uoisb. The prejudice
against the Uliineie laborers has so far abat
ed in the Buiee nnues, that they are now al
lowed to purbase mining ground and work
it. Three years ago, a Chinaman was look' d
upon with abominaiion in that countiy, but
the existence of a vust exteut of placers which
the white miners could not afford to work,
produced a demand for cheaper labor, which
was only to be obtained by the introduction
of the irrepressible John. There are vast
treasures lying in the sands of Clearwater,
Salmon, Snake, Payette, Boise, and Columbia
rivers which require only the indefatigable
Chinaman's labor to be dug out, 'and put in
circulation, urn t n a u nn.iuH io ...,:.. ..

liiru which it requires time to modily or des
troy. In tl.e absence of a candid discussion
of the advantages and disadvantages attend
ing the employment of these people, an impor
taut brancu of placer-mining' is almost dor
mant, and millions of money thut might be
welling the volume of the currency ohthe
i-ouuiry, is resting iu the places where nature
deposited it. . ,.
