THE COLORADO ExPEDTIoN.--Th Government
expedition for the exploration of the Colorado,
is being hastcned forward. The San Francisco
Times mentions the arrival in that city of Lieut.,
Ives and party, and says:
They will leave this port in q sailing vessel,
taking small steamer along, which will be put
together at some convenient point on the river,
and the party will then proceed on her. Some
of the branches of the Colorado head up in the
Wasach Mountains, little way south of Salt
Lake, ard other continents have their source in
the Sierra Madrc and as high up as the Three
Parks, so that should this river be found to be
navigable even for small steamers to anything
like two-thirds of that distance, the expedition
will do more to furnish us with accurate to-
graphical information, and lead to the eventual
occupation and settlement Of that vast region,
than anything that has yet been attempted.
