We have determined to start for the Bear River. We worked hard last week, but suffered greatly from the heat; almost every man of ns complains of feverish symptoms, with pains in the limbs, back and loins, yet we are better than the majority of the miners. These washings have now become nearly as crowded as the Mormon diggings were when we left them, and immense sums have been made by some of the luckier adventurers amongst the ravines. The whole valley is dotted over with tents and green bush ...arbors, and there is hardly a water course but which is sprinkled with miners digging, sift ing, and washing. About half of the people work together in companies the other half shift each for himself. There are hundreds of Indians, many of them fantastically dressed, for they can purchase fine clothing now, even at the extravagant rates at which all articles are charged at Weber's store. They labor one day, and get drunk on pisco or the " strong water" on another. One of them rolled down a rocky ravine lately, in an intoxicated state, and was killed.
