Abstract
WE learn from Harper's Weekly that advices from Prof. Hayden's exploring expedition in the Yellow Stone Lake region have been received up to the 8th of August last, and contain a satisfactory exhibit of progress. After establishing the depôt of supplies already referred to on the Yellow Stone River, about one hundred and forty miles below the lake, the party ascended the river, and reached the lake on the 26th of July, where they made a new camp. They then began at once to survey the lake with the most approved apparatus, by the aid of a boat taken along for the purpose, and expected to bé able to ascertain the exact contour, as well as the principal depths. They had already found several places in the lake where the depth reached three hundred feet, especially along the line of a certain channel-way, and they confidently expected to find soundings of at least five hundred feet.
