it IB w my 0|»JJCIUC »U!ll u goou wncisione is to a dull knife.The Brothers Fuller have established a crossing on the Truckcc River, where tLey are building a good substantial bridge/This is on the line of travel which comes by way of Beckwourth’s and Long Valley, and is a saving of about six miles as formerly traveled via Stone k Gates crossing—Harrison’s crossing is about half way between the two —each one striving to prove theirs the best route. There is no doubt that Harrison has the best fording place, and fording will have to be done at both of the places until 1st of June, probably. Stout k Mas tin, on the Trnckee-Henness route, have led off in bridge building, and will reap tbeir reward as soon as the travel is fairly opened on the latter named route, which in time is bound to be the favored route for all parties between Downieville and Marysville. When the railroad is completed from Folsom to Marysville, a large amount of the San Francisco travel will also pass over it. Two or three towns are contemplated in the Truckee Meadows, but from all appearance Truckce City'has the clear inside track. Its location has many advantages above the others, in the opinion of those who are well acquainted in this portion of the Territory. The site is certainly very imposing to a new comer. And although it is but just starting, (one house up and the lumber being hauled for the second,) it is probable that it must become the county seat of this section.A town once w ell located and fairly started in this valley will build up very rapidly.— This may be our point to operate in, or a part of our company, while the balance traverse the hills. Lots up to this time have not been offered for sale, but will be in the course of the coming week, at prices rang ing from $75 to #150. The company are donating lots to actual settlers who will go on and build immediately. This really strikes me as being a good field of operation, and if the boys want to anchor a little money safely let them take a lot or two in this town Another view of the matter should be taken as well as money making. Every possible effort is made by parties interested in rontes south of us to draw' the immigra tion over their line of travel. Every immigrant, after this, who comes in on the Carson route, will do it simply because he can find supplies this side of the Sierras. This should be looked to. The Truckce Route is conceded to be much the best route as far as grass, water, and distance is concerned, and the Henness Pass will far excel any pass south of it.Let the people—yes, let all the people of the north unite as one man in furthering the objects of the Trockee City Co., as we learn it is composed mostly of merchants of the northern section who wish to establish a rendezvous, or emporium, on the northern route, contiguous to the mines and directly on their line of travel'.As soon as I have taken a look at the great mineral richness of this section, I will write jon again. Fall k Smith’s saddle train arrived here in good style on Thursdayr-..snfr. and returned this morning.
