Tlie First Visitor to the Yonomlte.[Western Letter.]In nil that has been recorded about the Yosemite no satisfactory evidence has ever been produced OS to the first white man’s footprints on tho level where tho beautiful Merced seeks egress from tho rock-bound chasm. Wo concede that honor to 1-ouis Suinmann, a Mono county man, now residing at Mono lake. Louis is a pioneer, an old hunter and a guide in that portion of tho Sierra, and figured in many escapades during the Indian troubles, lie has abundant proof of a memorable trip into the valley in 1851. When hunting for game lie followed the sinuosities or an Indian trail from the direction of Coul-terville, and brought up in the vicinity of Bridal Veil fall. lie had killed a deer, and, being nearly worn out with fatigue, was seeking the nearest water, when he came unexpectedly upon a large camp of hostile Indians, whic h had tho effect of settling all desire for thirst. As may be supposed, his visit was of short duration.
