It afford uu excellent ahcltnr for stock, being bounded on all sides by mountains and lofty peaks, from which a person can overlook the whole valley. We camped here for tho night, at a spring of water, which the Governor culled Oak Spring. The soil is ol a red candy nature, bearing excellent for anmialH.

We found very little agricultural land, and none, we believe, that would produce without irrigation.

As a mineral country it is unpromising, owing to the streams of lava which have covered the greater portion ol it. Uowever, there nre some places, especially tho tract of land drained by the Agua JLria which present good indication? of metallic wealth and that there are good gold-field still further east than we went, is the prevailing impression of those who know tba character ot tbo country.
