5.1 



Dear Sir: — Your letter of October twenty-eighth has been received, 

 and I would say that as the assessment was not finished until after the 

 first of September, the time that you wished the report, it could not 

 well be returned until now. In making out a general report it will be 

 difficult to mention all matters of interest in detail without making this 

 communication much longer than desirable. 



Siskiyou is a large county, and its wealth was never on a more sure 

 foundation than at present; and it is nowhere more noticeable than in 

 the manner in which farmers are improving their farms by erecting 

 comfortable houses and large and commodious barns, as well as planting 

 many fruit and ornamental trees, a matter that was much neglected by 

 the earlier settlers. 



The climate in this county cannot bo excelled; the valleys are pro- 

 ductive, and there never has been a time that the farmer has not been 

 well remunerated for his labor. The number of acres of grain you will 

 find in the table, also the estimated yield.
