Indians may, theiefore, bs considered its only inhabitants, other than the strolhng parties of trappers and traders that now and then travel it, or temporarily psial)l;sh themselves within its liraits. Of course then the Eastern Division of Upper Califor- nia must be considered without a people or a government. Tiie Ri( Colorado rises in the U. S. Territory about lat. 42° SO' nortli, interlocking with the head waters of the Columbia, IMissouri, Platte, and Arkansas, and em. Pties into the Gulf ...of California near lat. 32^ north. Following its windings it is some twelve or fifteen hundred miles in length. This stream with its numerous tributaries is the only river worth naming in Eastern California, and, to a great extent, serves to watei- tliat countiy. Ov/ing to the rapidity of its current and its frequent fall?, and cascades, the navigation is entirely destroyed, till within about one hundred miles of ita mouth, at the head of tide water ; from this on no further interruption oc- curs, and the depth is sufficient for vessels bearing several hundred tons burthen.
