From the capital of the former, they ‘are separated by an inhospitable wilderness eight hundred miles in extent, infested by unfriendly Indians who render it unsafe for small parties of ;men to repair to the city of the Great ‘Salt Lake, and the objects of legisla‘tion would be thus greatly embar. rassed here The distance of their Valley from the seat of government in California, thouzh not the half of that which divides it from “Salt Lake City,” is rendered equally impraeticable by the snows of the mighty “Sierra Nevada” . chain, which uplifts its giant interdict in the form of “hills whose heads touch the heaven,” and these rocky peaks, seventeen thousand feet above the level of the sea, cannot be crossed during six months of the year; hence your petitioners are completely isolated at times from both these neighboring points of legislation, and would suffer much were they compelled to surmount such impediments to reach i their capital. ‘They possess in themselves all tha fa. cilities and elements of a territory, , Without encroaching upon any of their jneighbors’ tillable and grazing lands, sufficient to constitute a large state. . The valleys of Carson, Humboldt, {Truckee and others in their vicinity, would together comprise an aggregate of millions of acres of land peculiarly adapted to farming purposes, and abounding in excellent food for stock at all seasons ,of the year, while their mineral resour(v8 (not yet even partially developed) are by no means inconsiderable, hence . . we feel a confidence in soliciting your honorable body to give this matter due . we abide the wisdom may while greater and your attention, bounds dvem most expedient, we venture to suggest the following, viz: That we be bounded on the north by “Oregon Territory,” on the east by
