Of the Herald what can be relied upon,
as far as | know, from parties that
have left this section Of country and
returned for supplies aud friends,
this point being only about 100 miles
from the Little Rocky gold mines and
on the direct road Lo Rocky Point, The
point of crossing the Missouri ri, er.
