XoTE. — This route has been traveled to some extent in the fall and winter of 1S69 and 1870, 

 principally by small parties of prospectors, going from the Yicinities ot Elko and White Pine into 

 Xorthern Arizona. It presents many difficulties, such as tedious and long marches, scarcity of 

 grass, water, and wood, and would not be used if there was a point higher up than Hardyville, at 

 which a crossing of the Colorado connecting with a road leading through to Prescott could be 

 made. Such a point cannot be found before reaching the mouth of the Yirgin,
