I believe many persons expected to see
us in something like a "circus" or Mo

mistaken. But no matter what was ex-
j3:ted, they treated us well. After we
left Chicago- we were treated royally.
ine Pennsylvania Jine gave us a special
train of magnificent cars, all decorated
with beautiful hothouse flowers, and on
tlie sides of the train was a banner in
3ribed with the words, " Oregon Pio

sented a lovely bouquet, and all along the
route the finest meals that could bo got

trains were switched that we might get
over the road without delay, and the
only wonder to me was that there was

jxa x cciieve tnere are out tew persons
in the old Webfoot country, or may be
an ColumbiaJ2col"ty that have visited
this part of the state, it may be of some
interest to the readers of your valuable
paper, the Columdiax, to give a picture
in geographical and geological respects.
No other name was ever better fitted to
a locality than the name of Burnt Can
yon,'? because so far as visible, the sur
face loots all over ns'if burnt up of e re-
thing. In respect to the formation, for
miles and miles around, so far as ODnor-
tunity hai been for uie to see it, it is one
oflhe wildest and grandest that the ofo-
servers eye may meet. When 'I met the
the railroader last Summer in Wyoming
he usttd to say," Burnt River," but the
river at present is a mere creek or brook
and can be waded hi almost anyplace
with boots on without wetting the feet.
Bat however small this stream may be,
it possesses some magnificence, for its
walls rise in different-phve:43 to the
height of fivo hundred feet in air, and
so steep, that it 13 impossible for man to
climb them Unless by wmdingup through
the ravines If man is on top ief one of
those hills the idea comes as if he stood
in the midst of giants' castle?, w ith all
their walls and towers for ages gone
tumbled over with their splendor and
might Farther off. fifteen miles to tlui
South, the formation is somewhat 'differ
ent If man stand again upon one of
those high hills, and turns the gaze
towards the west lo ! what a sight ! as if
some eoloss.il plow with an almighty
power had turned this spot of the earth's
surface into parallel furrows not less
than fiorn a hundred to a thousand feet
idee?, , -
People that live in Western Oregon
may be forever content with their abun
dant vegetation and water. Such is not
the case in the Burnt River region. All
these hills and all these canyons and ra
vines are all barren ; no Tegetation, not
once bunch grass as in other torrid re
gions in Arizona. and New Mexico, only
thin slender small "rasa which in some
places seems tojgrow on the steep hill
slopes If such plac?a aro like valleys
or flats the sage .brush grows. Alonn
Burnt River grew willow bushes with
which the, inhabitants cook. Even so
tb.8 Sfiake River which is close by here,
is very sparsely lined with willow bushes.
As near as I could observe the forma
tion is of very old standing; the rock h
the generol blue rock, and is of very
hard quality. No shell and no fossi's
appear in the cuts where we work at
present; some crystal and some lime, e
en some quartz are to be ea in tlie
seams. Mineral jpeeimens can be'picked
up every day; and probably one day this
locality may be a valuable field for pros
pectors. We have lately had some signs
here of a -little " boom." One day hint
week cne townxan lured a man to dig
a cellar on the hillside. He had picked
only a very few4 feet into thsj wall
before lie found out, aa he believed, that
there was gold ia the dirt, and when hs
proceededfuither with his digging, he
got his visitors to believe the same. So
when they had been fully confirmed that
there was gold irt the hill, it did not
take a very long time before the rest of
the boys were on hand and bad the
whole hiil located.
Thrco miles fromhemouthcf Birnt
Canyon or Snake River is the new town
Huntington, called from the present
ranch-owner, situated in a small valley,
three quarters of a mile in width and
three quarters in length. Thi9 place is
is the terniinu3 of tho U. P Co. 'a O. S.
L., and at the same tho terminus of the
O. N. Co.'s Road. Originally the 0. N.
Co. 's ri:iht of road was to tho Siiake Riv
er, or to tho mouth of Burnt Canyon,
and the last-named Company had put
ome heavy work on grading through
the whole length of the Canyon. Now
as the Snake JRiver at this place is
pressed in very narrow furrow with
steep mountains onbotb sides, there was
no place for a station or meeting for two
so big railroad lines, so the TJ. P. Com
pany was compelled to buy out the oth
er Company and . get. their road over to
Huntington-. Thi3 place, small at it is,
may after not a very long time be cov
ered with hundreds of railroad cars
when the U. P. Company's road is gra
ded to the last crossing of -the Snake
River on the mouth of Burnt Canyon, j
The contractors are hard at work on the j
last three-. miles with all their might and
fore, and may finish the job in a couple
of months Said Company's road is
track-laid to the first crossing of the
Snake River, thirty milc-3 west of the
Boise River crossing. It would not
take a very long time to track-lay the
remaining forty-five miles, bat fcf the
several crossings . ovr the river that
have to be bridged. But as tho work at
present is progressing, so it is to be
hoped that after a few months the irjn
horses, rolling and whisthug, from the
East, will sound in Burnt Canyon.
We have had here some fine weather
last week, a perfect Indian Summer ; in
daytime it has-been clea'rand pleasant,
and in the night not cold. To-day how
ever, the sky ha3 been cloudy and the
wind rushing lown the canyon, and
flapping the mauy tents, that line the
narrow- stream from Huntington to
Snake River. The few settlers who are
in the country are awaiting with great
expectancy rain. For weeks agone all
the grass has been sun-burnt and faded
away; the stock has been, driven out of
country, except a few domestic cowa
and horses. Such is Burnt River coun
try at present ! .
