As eve. Ning approaches, and the sun is shining, its rocky sides and numerous peaks present a beautiful bronze appearance, of a greenish hue. Similar to that which is sometimes found in veins of copper ore. The summit has a general level, extend ing over an area of more than a hundred square miles, and presents all the features of a country by itself ; possessing its little miniature mountains, grass covered vallfys, lakes and rivers of pure water, its little willow, a?pen, and mountain mahogan...y forests, and its gardens of service berries, In a military point of view, this moon- tain is the Stbastepol of the Snake Indians; producing Fubsistence and forage within, its walls impregnable, and to high too render artillery effective from their base, offering but few approaches to its summit, and these capable of an easy defense from the numer- ous impregnable bastions and watch towers that guard their entrance on either side. Our reconnoissance of this mountain was. From the south along its western base to its northern extremity, where its ascent is directly up from the waters of Christmas Lake, thus blocking onr passage around it in that direction, thence back by the same route to its extreme southern point, there ascending the table upon which it rises we passed along its eastern base to a point opposite that which turned us back.
