CAPT. STAXBURy’S RECO.VNOISAXCE.
After an interval of six tnonlhs, du
ring which the parly we re . completely
isolated hy the impenetrable snows of
tnrroumli g mountains, in(<ilig«*iire
has at length been received from Cupi
Stanbury, of the Topographical Engi
neer Corps, wlio is engaged in an ex
amination of the Valley of the Great
Salt-Lake, and a hydrographic survey of
that singular sheet of water. The last
previous.news of the whereabout of his
party was dated in October last. The
present despatches come down to as
late as the 16th of Murch. Capt.-Stanr
bury says:
“ The winter season here has been
long and very * severe, commencing
about the middle of November. To
day, (February 26) the mountains arc
white with snow, and in many of the
canons (pronounced ‘knnyons*) it is up
wards of fifty feet deep, reaching lothe
tops of i he tallest trees, A though only
‘ i the latitude of 40 deg.46 -min., it has
more than equalled in severity the win
ter of last year in Philadelphia, which
was an unusual one, and it is even now
quite uncertain when it.will terminate.”
Again, he says, writing on the 16th
of March:

Porter returned to his post, the provi

Howland, of the Rifles, with orders to
report to Lieut. Gunnison, whilst I. ac
companied by Dr. Blake, with a party
of four men and sixteen mules, address
ed mysell to make the tour around the
Western part of the Lake. This trip
was, bv many of the old mountaineers,
considered hazardous, especially at that
1 i late season of the year. Many oftbem
had iricd it. but none had ever succeed-

great province containing fifty thousand
inhabitants, called Zagut. They heard
much of the cities of Great Sale Lake,
and their wealth, gold, &c. Espejo
made an excursion of forty-five leagues
to the northwest, where it was said
there were silver mines, ami which he
found very rich. This was near two
rivers of reasonable size, and probably
the Colorado and the Jaquista. I am
satisfied that the country thus explored
lay between the Gila and the Colo

On the return of Espejo, the main par

Lithography.
Lithography is the art of printing
from stone. This process is based up
on the fact that printing ink, bring
largely composed of oil, will net adhere
to any surface which is wet with water.
Every one knows how utterly impos
sible it is to mix oil and water. To
lithograph,'then, all that i* neces*aiy if,
to draw on the smooth surface of a dry
stone, with a greasy crayon, whatever
is desired to he printed, A weak solu
tion of nitric acid is then rubbed over
the stone, which fastens the drawing so
that it cannot he rubbed off. After this,
a solution of gum-arabic is passed over
the surface, and then the stone is ready
for printing. >
By means of a sponge, water is jtow
j rubbed off the^lone, and while yet wet
I the inking roller is applied. The ink,
J of course, adheres to the lines of tlid
drawing, because they are Oily, bottothe
