The contour of ihe lake is oval ami the wooded banks bear a luxuri ant growth of monnl ain grass. O-i a casual examination I here appears (o be no out let lothis lake, but clos er observation reveals a .-i,. -.11 creek issuing from the southwest side, which is tho beginning of the north fork of that mi :h;y nnery of the northwest, Snake River, On this lake, seme times on ihe north side and some times to tho south ward, or wherever the breezes chance lo bear it , is a curious (loaf ing island. It is about SCO feet in diameter and lias for its basis a mac of roots, so dense as to support large trees and a heavy thicket o ' undergrowth. Decayed vegetation adds to the thickness of the mat, and forms a mold several feet in thickness. On the edge of tho float ing forest, in summer time, may he seen a luxuriant growth of blue joint grass, the roots of which form so compact a mass as to support the weight of a horse. Any num ber of men have no difficulty in walking about on it. Farther back among the trees one might build a large house and make a garden and do whatever he pleases, lie would be just is solid and safe as though there were not 100 or 200 feet of water beneath. There is a willow thicket near the center of the is land, and scattered among tiiese willows and contiguous to them are a number ofaspens and dwarf pines. These catch the breezes which lloat over the island and act like sails on a boat, and move (he near ly two acres ot land hither and thither over the forty square miles of water. This shows why me may one day see the island on one side and the next on the oth er side of the lake. Henry Lake is exceedingly picturesque. Around it rise, snow-capped peaks, among which are some of the highest of the continent’s backbone, partly covered with a verdue of forest and grass, and showing here and there formations of granite and unique bsaltic columns. During the hunt ing season the waters swarm with wildfowl. There are plenty of gem, and bearer, too. Tue game may be found in the'adjoining mom tains. u, i J a , .July '2l —Beaver and his staff did not pass here on the way to miiontowu, a expeote , but took the other roure.
