TO THE STOCK IMMIGRANT. We will suppose you to be in possession of stock, perhaps large numbers. Having reached Honey Lake valley on the 11orth, or further to the south, the Truckee meadows, Washoe or Carson valley, where there is a "rorld of feed, or even Lake Bigler valley, or any one of the higher mountains, where the grass is always green, till covered by the winter's snows ; if you are a stranger in the country, you n1ay or may not be aware of the fact, that a single day's drive from the higher mountains towards the Sacramento valley, may place you in a district of country, that from August till November, is almost entirely destitute of green feed. The alternative is therefore presented of either remaining in one of these mountain valleys till you can make arrangements for your stock below, or by forced drives, through eighty or a hundred miles of the parched up foot-hills, and plains of the Sacramento valley, run yonr eh1n~P~ 0f find in !.'!' pom ~ pl nC'e A lon~ t11e S:1crn- . 1 • ( ' . • • 1 1 I l l i .
