Snake River Valley prospects and settlement details
The author describes Snake River Valley as a vast sloping region with about 70 located claims, 6 000 cattle and 650 horses, and settlements along the river for 15 miles. Timber runs 18 miles, irrigation is good, and a military post may boost a home market next spring. Produce yields per acre exceed other lands, and pricing on Rawlins routes favors settlers with mills, lumber, coal, and cottonwood timber available locally.
