TRANSMITTING REPORTS 
OF LIEUTENANT JOHN MULLAN, U.S. A. 
Otymrr1a, WASHINGTON TERRITORY, 
January 3, 1855. 
Sir: I have the honor herewith to transmit the reports of Lieutenant John Mullan, giving the 
results of his explorations in the Rocky mountains, in pursuance of my instructions posting him in 
October, 1853, in the St. Mary’s valley, made since his examination of the Little Blackfoot 
passes, in March, 1854, which was at the time made the subject of a report and included in the 
various reports submitted with my general railroad report of the 30th of June, 1854. 
The reports are as follows: 
1. Report dated Cantonment Stevens, Bitter Root Valley, May 8, 1854, of his examination of 
the country from the Bitter Root valley to the Flathead lake and the Kootenaie river. 
2. Report of his subsequent operations, including his examination of a pass over the Coeur 
d’ Alene mountains, which will furnish an excellent wagon road, and probably a practicable railroad 
line. 
3. A general meteorological report.
