on the route, had experienced more sickness, but
their health was improving. It was estimated that
some twenty thous and head Of stock were on the

compared with. former years. The Indians were
somewhat troublesome, bat, except on one or two
parties, no serious depredations had been COM
Mtted.

between six and sixteen years Of age, as follows
Males, IL 1852; females, II, 792-making total of

fifty per cent to the census of 1850; but they think
the increase has been at least hundred per cent
