newspapers in relation to the depth of the salt wells Several of them are 1200 to 1610 feet Mr sures us that his well is sixteen hundred and fifty feet deep There is abundant evidence that there increase of temperature in the depth reached in any of walls First Tbe water that is driven or forced from all tho wells is very cold At one of tho depth of 1500 feet and is tubed 700 feet so as to exclude all the water fresh or salt to that it is quite certain that all the water comes from of 1500 feet for at that depth tho stream of salt water was water is also cold as the very coldest spring water such as gushes out from the base of our mountains workmen at the furnaces in warm weather are in the habit of filling jugs with river water them in the cisterns of salt water as it is up The

Everything good is to be found there There is no country like the Crow country There are no people in the world entirely destitute of honor when their moral are singularly obtuse Ideas of honor may but always exist in some form The following passages illustrative of honor as distinct from among the Indians is also taken from Rocky Mountains A white hunter by the name of Campbell in the of otte of trapping expeditions was quartered in t village and a guest in the lodge of the chieftain He had collected a large quantity of furs and fearful of being plunderer he deposited but a part in the lodge of the chief aud the buried in a cache One night came into with a c and seated self for a saying a At length turning to Campbell You have more furs with eaid he than you brought into my lodge

brought them departed a The day passed away sat ia one corner of his wrapped his robe scarcely moving a of his countenance When arrived he demanded if the skins bad been brought jn Above a hundred had
