this canon in fact, so rough that u
bird could not fly over il. This ana
is about thirty miles long, and its
sides formed OF very high and rugged
mountains, which do not run in any
particular direction, but seem to- be a
lot OF refuse material that was left
when the balance Of That worthless
country WAS made, and which would
not work anywhere. so they were just
dumped down here, like n page OF
Fluctuations at the close OF II book, To
be inserted according to the fancy Of
the reader, and remain just as they
were left by the last upheavaI. Upon
~prolunging our meridian to the river,
we were gratiiicd to find hat it took
us entirely below the canon. crossing
the river just below the mouth of
John Gray's River, and just above the
mouth of Salt River. John Gray's
River falls i'm from the southeast, and
is about the same size of Salt River.
Their mouths are only about three
miles apart. This ano empties into
what is known, on Haydeu's map, as
the Snake River Basin, the bed Of a
former Lake Its several banks or
benches are very easily traced, and
there are several benches or terraces,
showing that even after the waters
had worn a passage through the noun
tains on the west, a very considerable
lake remained for many years. AS
the channc, grew deeper, the lake
grew smaller, until now the river is
no wider here than below.the basin.
The difference between the thirty
fourth meridian, as laid down on Hay
denis map and rs established by US, is
about fourteen miles.

" FIELD NOTES.,
Western boundary of wyoming
Number Five


The hills in our front were hills no
longer, but mountains in every IL
of the word, for we were at the foot of
the divide between Bear River and
the Big Snake or Shoshone River.
June Goth, we left Thomas Fork,
and crossing the divide passed down
Salt River, which runs nearly due
north. 1t is n small. rapid stream Of
clear, cold water, which has a brackish
taste, caused by several salt creeks
that empty into it, and from which it
takes its name. Two miles west of
the l25th mile post are located the
Oneida Salt Works; from which Idaho
and Montana are supplied with a very
fine quality of salt. The water is Oh
tanned from watts dug in the ground,
and is so strongly impregnated with
salt as to form thick layers around the
edges from just the evaporation caused
by the heat of the sun.
\ few miles north of these works,
on Salt River, is a very singularly
formed arch or huge doorway with an
nrched top. 1t stands at the mouth of
q little canyon that empties into Salt
River on the west side, and as it leads
to nowhere it may be the hotel where
defunct politicians put up while So
journing on Salt River. Our line took
us down the west side of Salt River to
the hundred and fiftieth mile post,
when the river turns a little to the
west, and empties into Snake River
about n mile further on. This rem
dered if necessary for us to cross it,
which we did with a raft. AS an illus
tration of the rapidity of the currents
of these mountain streams, one of the
most stalwart of our party attempted
to wade this one, with the assistance
of the rope we had stretched across for
the raft. Before he was a rod from
the shore the current took him off his
feet, and he could not regain his foot
ing, but was obliged to climb back to
the shore on the rope, hand over
hand.
July 3rd, at one hundred and fifty
one miles, twenty chains and forty
links, we found ourselves on the south
bank of the Big Snake or Shoshone
River, which, from the very start,
had been a bug-bear to US.
The latest and best map we could
get of this country prof. Hayden's
map of the source of Snake River,
issued in 1874, indicated that u line
would cross the Grand, or Upper
Canon of Snake River about midway
between its head and mouth, and we
had been informed by the mountain
o~raeles, otherwise known as noun
taineers, trappers, guides, ETC., that a
mountain sheep could not get within
ten miles of the river at any point in

Since one Joint Stock Company has
been organized bere recently for the
purpose Of carrying on the raising,
buying and selling Of live stock, we
have been asked repeatedly, 10y parties
interested in this branch of industry,
to give, in an editorial article. a sum
mary Of the experience of our old
settlers who have been engaged in this
business for years. We have been
asked: What breed of horned stock is
the best 10 begin with In this Terri
tory, aud what profits are likely to he
derived from an Investment OF, say
five thousand dollars in cattle.
The first question cannot be an
sweTCd unless We know for what pur-
pose the cattle are to Ice used. In
Wyoming u man may Craze a thou
sand head and not own n foot of land,
and if he wishes to couple the pr0duc-
ton of heef with the improvement of
the breed of his stock. the Texas COW
is undoubtedly the best to begin with.
But the ranchman who wishes to
raise just the amount Of stock that can
Craze near his home, and that he can
feed in case % storms, and who wishes
to couple dairyiug with stockraising,
wants some other kind of cows.
In this article. we shall speak Of the
best breed of cows for the stockraiser
who wishes to make Il small amour
of money go the faTthest in that par
ticular branch Of the business. We
say Texas cows are the best for the
stockgrower in Wyoming, with the
above object in view, for the follow
ing reasons:
First. \ man with one thousand
dollars can procure, in Wyoming, rs
many COWS of that breed AS he could
purchase with three thousand Of any
other breed.
Second. The profits resulting from
such an investment. where the stock
raiser crosses with Durham, short
horned and thoroughbred, are found
nowhere else in stockraising.
Third. The Texas COW is adapted
to u pasturage, being 4 good feeder,
quick Of motion, very prolific and
producing II hardy calf, tenacious of
life aud easily raised and which, when
left to u with the COW, is worth as
much in Wyoming when six months
old, as its mother cost. When crossed
with the Durham or some other beef
producing breed, a vastly improved
unimalis produced, and If this breed
ing up" is continued for Il series of
years, II distinct and superior breed of
stock is obtained for when you cou-
pie the activity of the hardy Texas
COW with the sluggish and slow mo-
toned Durham bun, You produce an
improvement on both the COW is too
fast and the bull is o slow for the
large grazing fields of Wyoming.
We will close this article with q
statement of outlay and profits, for
three years, in this branch of stock
growing:

AN IMMENsg Ice FIELD IN THE OCEAN,
Tho steamship Nota Scotinn, from Liver
pool, reports that at 8 A. NJ. on the 14th
of April, in latitude AZ degrees 90 mi
nutes, longitude 40 degrees 10 minutes,
nm immense ice field was met in the At,
lantic. The steamship skirted it's edge
for five hours, and altered her course to
escape it. From the mastheads, az far as
tho eye could reach with the aid of
glasses, m unbroken stretch of ice was
to be seen. extending for many miles.
There were in it many small iceberrs.
and number Of vessels, some of them
long distances from the outer edges, and
seeming to have been caught there long
while before. There were a shin. two
barks, brig and other vessels so far in
that they could not be made ont. This
ice had come down from the Arctic re-
gions, and the imprisoned vessels had
doubtless come many miles with it, and
