The day spout in reporting bv letter to Central Johnston result of expedition to 

 Uinta Valley (report given above), and preparing for return to Fort Leavenworth, 

 via Fort Bridger. 



August 21, Camp Torberts Creek, Bound Prairie.— Whoh party decamped this 

 morning, on its return to the States. Course up the valley of the Timpanogos. 

 Having reached the point where the road leaves the main branch of the Timpanogos, 

 we encamped. Journey 14 miles. Since my exploration of this valley last fall a small 

 settlement called Heher City, containing ten families, has sprung up in Round Prairie. 

 The frost, two weeks since, nipped the potatoes here, but did not permanently injure 

 them; they are still growing finely, and already some are eatable and have been sold 

 in our camp. 



Lieutenant Swaine and family arrived, on their way to Camp Floyd, this after- 

 noon, and have encamped near us. 



August 22, Camp, bend of Timpanogos River. — Longitude, 111° 26' 03" ; lati- 

 tude, 40° 36' 15" ; thermometer at 8.30 a, m., 64°. Wishing to see if my route to 

 Fort Bridger from Camp Floyd, via Timpanogos, Weber, and White Clay Creek 

 Valleys, opened last fall, can be shortened, I have directed Lieutenant Mirny to proceed 

 with the main party and wagon-train, independently of me, to Fort Bridger, by that 

 route, and I take a party of seven persons, including my assistant, Mr. Englemann, 

 with two pack-animals, for the purpose of exploring a more direct route by the way of 

 Kamas Prairie, the east fork of the Weber and one of its tributaries, across to the head 

 of White Clay Creek, or Bear River. 



I reached Fort Bridger with my party August 2C, and find that Lieutenant Murry 

 with the train and main party had reached there the day before. As my report to
