We arrived here at six p. M. The expedition to
Powder River, VIA the Yellowstone, was q complete
success The steamer Key West the second larg-
est steamer on the Upper Missouri, went up to
within three miles of the mouth OF Powder River,
and II we had had the proper appliances to have
taken out two loose rocks in the channel at Key
West Falls, the last rapids on the river, she could
have gone up at least eighty miles further. At
high water she could have gone over these rocks
with ease. At the time the expedition went up
the Spring rains had not occurred and the water
was lower than at any time previous for the last
three years. The Yellowstone is better stream
to navigate than the Upper Missouri above Fort
