Colorado River Exploring Expedition

Major J. W. Powell left Chicago on Friday, May 7th, for Green River City, situated at the crossing of the Pacific Railway over the Green River. From there, accompanied by about one dozen well armed men, he intends descending the Green River in boats until he reaches it's junction with the Colorado to its mouth, exploring the banks and the surround ing country on the way.
 The exploring of this river is the object of the expedition. IT Major Powell is success fuf he will have accomplished one of the greatest explorations ever made upon the American continent
 Many attempts to explore this river have been made, but have all proved unsuccessful Those who have attempted to ascend it have met rapids and were compelled to stop. From the fact that the course lies for the most part through canyons, sometimes us much as a mlle deep, none have attempted to descend it. They have been prevented from following the river along the banks by the canyons formed hy the streams flowing into the main river. The present company is we'll provided to meet the difficulties and dangers of the un- dertaking. They have four boats. which, though not large are very strongly built. They were manufactured in Chicago, and will be taken to Green River by rail
 The party is mostly composed of Western hunters who have had experience in the kind of life necessary to be undergone. The party IS led by man who is neither timid nor rash one who has nerve enough to meet and endure ditfiulties, and sufficient judgment to refrain from unnecessary risks.
 Although there are difficulties to be met with m this undertaking, yet we think the absolute danger has been oyer-estimated. It is sup posed by many that when one enters one of the canyons of this river that he must be hurried down over rapids, and falls, among mighty boulders, now under ground and again seeing the blue heavens only between two parallel walls mile in height, complete ly at the mercy of the current, with no posi- bility of escape, the walls being pcrpendicu- lar and unscalable, and the current driving on with force that cannot be withstood.
 Many of the canyons of Green River have already been explored by Major Powell, and he has found them not near so hard as repre- sented. He has found that many rapids that cannot be ascended can yet be descended with safety; that though the walls are sometimes perpendicular, yet they are not always so, but frequently have such an inclination that they may De ascended that there are inter- ftpces in the rocky walls, and that there are eonhuent canyons which afford safe resting places.
 Having received about the same represen- tation of the canyons of both rivers, and having found that those of Green River were sot what they were represented to be, it i. but natural that he should conclude that the representations of the Colorado are exag gerated. What knowledge he has of tho river, obtained from the Indians, the Nor mons and others, confirms him in his belief To sum up all in few words, he considers that the descent, though difficult, is not i'm possible.- Chicago Republioan.
