Wosencraft's ex plorxtion Of Mobiles rass
Doctor w. was compelled to return be-
fore completing bis reconnaissance for
want Of assistance. His party had to
turn back, after having been three days
in the mountains, without food re. their
mu les:
The party, consisting of ID. Woaen-
craft and five others, left Fort r eudnx on
the 81 ius, and penetrated into the noun
tains fifty six miles, or within thirty five
miles Of Lake Va ley. Dr.. w. says the
mountains divide into two spurs-an cas-
tern and a western, the western some sew
eraI hundred feet higher than the eastern
His party travelled over the western
spur, and found only SIX miles OF snow
1t was lying, as is certified by all the men
who accompanied him, on an average six
inches deep, with the exception of about
one mile in the ravine, where it was two
to two and half feet deep.
On the eastern spur they could distinct
ly see there was no snow. except in a few
spots. In 1850, DR. w. estimated the
elevation of this pass at 5000 feet ,but he is
now satisfied, AS they crossed the highest
point, that the elevation will not exceed
1900 feet, when tested by instruments
The party found two families living
twenty five miles from Fort Reading
who spent the last winter there, and who
assured him that there was more snow
in the pass now than there was at any
time last winter. These men have two
saw mills in operation.
Dr.. Wozencraft represents the pass as
of an easy grade-an inclined pane
favorable in the highest degree for a
railroad track. He is confident that, by
making single cut, seventy five feet deep
and one hundred yards long, that stage
road can be made through the pass over
which a coach might be driven withou
turning down the brake.
No country was ever more finely tim
bered than is this pass The belt is esti
mated at seventy miles in width by ont
hundred and fifty in length. White PIN
Lombardy pine, white cedar, oak, etc.
grow to an enormous size, and in mex
haustible quantities.
Two Of the men who accompanied tn
Doctor came through the pass last fall
and both united in saying that the com
pany had crossed the only mountain il
the pass. They declared the remainde
Of the route to be more favorable thar
that which had been explored.
