ascended it for some four or five miles throuo-h low- lying delta without much difficulty. Here, however, the river changed its character, and became very swift and rocky. We were now getting into the heart of the Cascade range, and began to look about us for geological signs. A large Indian village, temporarily deserted, was at hand ; we took possession of one of the huts for the night, and finding one or two natives, who from age or sickness had been left behind, by the aid of our guide and i...nterpreter we obtained the loan of a couple of much smaller canoes, in which to continue the ascent on the morrow, our own being much too large and heavy for the strong and shallow water we had to encounter. Transferring our effects to the smaller canoes we pursued our way, stopping now and again to test a bar in the river for gold. We found it in very small quan- tities, nothing like sufficient to pay for working, and the general appearance of the country and its moun- tains did not argue the presence of that metal in the beds of the streams.
