Notes of a Trip to Mt. Jefferson,
OVKIl THE 3IINTO l'ASS.
Saturday, July 10, 1S75. At V a. m. wo loft
Honuea&'s, crossed our camp equipments In
a skiff, and forded the river with the pack
animals a short distance below, wliero tho
water was about two and a half feet deop.
After packing, we started along the northern
bank, In an easterly direction and up the
main north folk of the Santiam river, all in
good spirits, alid ou a plain trail through
very heavy timber. At 12 we Mopped at a
place called tho Narrows, or Stony Point,
where we lunched, all being very tired, ns
none, except Capt. Cooper, were accustomed
to such traveling, and the weather belug
very warm, which was considerably aug
mented on account of one of our park ani
mals requiring to be re-packed, and to be
Initiated Into the scientific mystery how to
carry loads over narrow and crooked trails.
In the af ernoou, Prof. Powell caught some
very fine trout, which were relished with
great satisfaction after our unusual exercise.
Our ponies, becomtne disgusted with the
trip, started back, but were overhauled by
Messrs. Sherman and Kedington after they
had nearly reached the crossing of the river.
Toward evening the mosquitoes and gnats
put In an apnearance and demanded toll for
Invading their precincts ; they were very
numerous and annoying.
The estimated cost of constructing a bridge
Across the river at uenrwss's is 3.500, and
the road to this camp, being three miles,
300.
.Sunday, July 11. Left camp at 0 o'clock,
our course being still up the river, and In an
easterly direction, which we held for the day.
Timber very heavy, aud in a short time we
enter a large " burn," and the trail terribly
obstructed by fallen timber. The signs of
one or more persons having passed oyer the
trail only a few days before were verified by
our finding their camp and a cast-off horse
shoe. The next place of note on onr trail is
that called " Bad Banks," where the trail
had been cut along the precipitous banks of
a small stream and the river at the junction
of the two streams. The trail had been cut
forty fet high along this place. At the sum
mit of these banks we found that a tremen
dous fire had burned over the country last
fall, and the trail was entirely destroyed,
necessitating our cutting away logs and
brush and digging around roots of trees,
causing as much labor for at least two miles
as if there had never been a trail or survey
through that place.
The mountains at times receded for a dis
tance of a quarter of a mile, making small
Hats, with soil generally good, with patches
of basalt rock protruding to the surface. Ou
the opposite side of the river fires had made
extensive clearings, well adapted to grazing.
At 12 o'clock we reached the river at "Rocky
Point," all very tired, and concluded to
camp. Distance, five miles ; estimated cost
of constructing a road, $3,000.
Monday, July 12. We left camp this morn
ing at 5 o'clock, continuing lu an easterly
dlrectlou, and about throe miles, except the
first one-fourth of a mile, through wooded
bottom, of which the most bad been burned
over, intersected by small streams, aud the
trail obstructed by fallen trees, causing con
siderable work in making our way around
them. The next place of interest is known
as " Marlon Lynn," (lynn being Scotch for
falls), where the river is confined to the nar
row width of firteeu feet, where the water
rushes through a narrow canyon for one
hundred and fifty yards. The best descrip
tion that I can give, is, that there is a ledge
of basalt rock, in tilaces fifty feet high,
standing iu the ceuter of the river bed, aud
when the river Is full of water, forms a pic
turesque island, around which the foaming
water dashes with great violence, and drift
wood Is crushed by the force of the resisting
rock, A large log is lying across this chasm,
over which a person could pass, but a mis
step would be certain death, as the seething,
dashing, rushing, aud boiling water would
be beyoud the pewer of any human belug
to bullet successfully. At a distance of half
a. mile above we commenced to ascend the
side of the mouutaiu, coming to " Weeping
Rock," over which a small stream makes a
rash leap of eighty feet, the whter being
reduced to spray ere It reaches the bot
tom. This Is a very pretty cascade, but can
not be seen very well from the trail. Iu a
short time we again returned to the river,
tho water at each bank Is almost milk white;
while lhe center of the stream is a dark blue,
aud runs with a slow aud deep current. Up
tho river about 400 yards, we came to "Uaug-
ing Kock," through which the wagon road
would have to be blasted, but can be very
easily done. At this point we commenced
to climb the side of the mountain In earnest,
which is terrifically steep, and at one point
almost impossible for our animals to climb.
This ascent is lor a quarter of a mile, and we
were over 500 feet above the riyer and road
survey, all caused by the negligence of hav
ing the trail cut along the survey, thus ob
viating great toil and wear of patience. On
our descent, which was steep, we came to
Coon Creek, a beautiful and very rapid
streem ten or twelve feet wide, but not over
twelve Inches deep, that mingles its waters
with those of the river a short distance be
low, A steep ascent was again encountered,
and in a short time we were 300 or 400 feet
above the river. Two of onr animals fell
while crossing over some slippery rock.
We now passed through some ef the finest
timber that Oregon can boast of, consisting
of cedar, larch, hemlock, and yellow fir.
On descending the bill, we cam upon quite
a little bottom or fiat, called " Rocky liar,"
but destitute of grass for our animal i, and
and went into camp at V,i o'clock. After we
bad unpacked, Mr. Irv. Smith made the
Important discovery (to him) that be had
left his powder-llask about four miles be
hind, and as he had brought a $125 shot-gun
all the way from Indiana for the express
piirposo of doing havoc among tho deer, elk,
and bear of Oregon, he was compelled to
hnvo that powder, consequently we sympa
thized while bo took tho back track over tho
mountains. At 0 o'clock ho came Into camp
with tho ooveled article. Above camp a short
distance the river goes through a narrow
canyon, but having no very perceptible de
scent, and tho water runs -slowly, but the
depth Is very great. Distance traveled to
day six miles, and estimated cost of con
structing a road (M,000.
Tuesday, July 13 Last night we were
, nearly eaten up by gnats, in fact they were so
numerous and so persistent in their attacks
that some of the company lost their patience
and indulged in profanity. At 4 o'clock we
were up, and In an hour more on our jour
ney. Our course was still to the east, and in
a few hundred yards wo commenced to climb
tho highest mountain that we had yet found,
at one particular place so steep that our pack
horses were unable to climb the trail. We
were compelled to unpack them, and carried
their loads up the hill on our backs, which
was not calculated to Improve our religious
proollvitles. The trail-cutters had been too
Indolent to nt two or t hree logs along the
river bank, which would have obviated all
or this toilsome work, and left an almost
level trail. Coming down this hill, we pass
ed over a small creek with a very had cross
ing, and from here we again took to the
mountain, but the course was tho same, and
returned to the river In about balfamlleat
an old log cabin built several years ago by
R. C. Qeer for the purpose of working what
was supposed to be quartz mines. He had
sunk a shaft about 18 feet deep, and ths rock
that bad been thrown out contained sulphu
rets and crystallized quartz, but I did not
ee any that gave indications of gold and
but very little of silver. At this place we
found an old blacksmith's bellows, anvil,
and a well-worn sledge, and the forge and
bellows covered up by a growth of brush,
The cabin bad been almost entirely destroy
ed by a tree that had fallen across it. This
is another mournful relic of wrecked dreams
of golden treasure that have allured so
many to the mountains fortunes only to be
dispelled like the morning fog and to cause
t'ae adventurers to realize that Dame For
tune does not smile upon all who woo her.
We climbed along another mountain, but
soon came down into a level plateau of laud,
and then made a very steep descent to the
river, in this short distance there are two
places where the water from high cliff has
thrown down a great quantity of stone and
debris. Upon leaving the river we went up
a steep ascent, up on the bench again, and
found that we had arrived at the lower end
of Big Bottom. The mountains suddenly
receded for some distance, and the bank Is
quite level, aud covered with the best of tim
ber. In a mile or so the mountains again
come close to the river, but tho traveling Is
good, comparatively clear of underbrush,
while across the river whero McKinney
Creek comes in, it has the appearance ot be
ing comparatively level, with a low pass up
the creek. There was an astonishing amount
of elk sign ; from tho looks I should judge'
that large herds of that uoble animal had
been in there within a month, and probably
in less time; deer tracks were numerous.
At 11 o'clock we fouud some grass (our an
imals did not have any at tho last camp); we
called a halt aud cooked dinner, and at four
o'clock packed up aud traveled about a mile
to Stuyton valley, whero wo made camp,
aud discovered that strawberles were lu
t-eason. Tnis is the most beautiful valley wo
found on tho trip, and in fact it would ho a
beautiful spot In any part of the Willamette
qalley, as the young timber Is sufficiently
open and free from undergrowth to allow a
wagon to be driven almost any place. After
we had established eamp, five of tho compa
ny went up to Brightenbusher's fork of the
Santiam for the purpose of examining the
crossing. This fork turnlsues at least one
half of the water of the stream up which no
had been traversing, aud ritea iu the mount
ains north of us, aud em far as we could Judge
runs in a due south directiou. The batiks
of this stream are low ami composed of
washed gravel, aud will cost considerably
more to bridge it than the main river at
Uenness's. From the best information I
could gather and the appearance of the coun
try, this valley must be ten or twelve miles
long aud from two to four miles wide,
Sunday, July, 14. We suffered more from
gnats last night than at auy time; It was
gUUMl Bb BUUUUWU, gUtUH tU IUD Wt I1UUTS U!
morning, and guats at suurise, aud when
ever we left camp they were still iu poses9
lou, tho air was lull of them, and all exceed
ingly pugnacious and insinuating. They
would go through blankets with astonishing
ease, fastened themselves ou every portion
of the body exposed, penetrate the halrof the
head, to collect their tax of blood. At !
o'clock we started and crossed Urlgbteu
hushs' without auy accident and travelled
until 0 o'clock when we struck the river at
depot camp, and at 2 o'clock started again.
At 4 o'clock we camped at Muskrat Camp.
At 5 o'clock we again took the trail, which
we followed for some distance, when we
attain lost it, one of the party finding it,
announced the same by hallooing, which
brought all together again when Prof. Pow
ell came tearing tnrough the brush making
as muoh noise as a grizzly, which so fright
ened Mr. Delaney's dog that that animal
made excelleut lime to his master tor pro
tection amid the uproarious laughter of the
entire company. At 7:45 we camped for the
night on the banks of the river and at the
confluence of Tumbling Creak. This camp
is known as Pick and Shovel Camp.
Thursday, July 15. Our course was still
up the stream and In an easterly dlreotton
aud through a denso forest for about three
miles, when we had to climb n tremendous
hill, ovor which tho pack trail had been
constructed, while the road survey ran
along.luvel ground. Finally we' arrived at
the summit and after resting we examined a
small lake, lying In a flat of considerable
extent aud surrounded ou three sides with
the precipitous walls of the surrounding
mountains which are covered with'tlmber of
small growth. The lake orobably contains
an area of thirty acres. We named this
Lone lake, which is certainly a most appro
priate name as it Is so remarkably lonely and
the solitude so intense that the place was op
pressively quiet. Iu about a quarter of a
mile's travel we suddenly came where the
trail begins to descend the mountains
towards the river, and at the asm a time we
beheld Mt. Jefferson standing, apparently,
within a very few miles before ns, in all the
grandeur and majesty of God's sentinel over
the surrounding mountains. Tho sight fills
us with awe and enthusiasm. High above
all the surrounding peaks and mountains
stood this suow clad, rock-ribbed safety
valve of the world's Internal beat; clouds
were coursing around ita waist which the
sun burnished as a sheen of silver; the clear
frozen snow threw In relief the black volcan
ic rock, while the apex of the Mount bid
bold deduces to all human attempts to Fcale
itspreclpitoussldes. The Intervening country
presents a rugged appearance, covered with
dense forest, dark green in color, variegated
in places with white, where previous fires
had raged, or some beetling crag reared
its precipitous sides above the surrounding
oppressively silent forest, giving great
height to the impenetrable appearance of the
scenery before us, no sound is beard except
the scarcely preceptlble rushing of the
river waters far below our feet. The de
scent Is very precipitous, and In one or two
places positively dangerous for our pack
animals, and we were compelled to do some
chopping to clear the trail. From here we
again took to the mountains, and as the
weather was rather warm, the physical fa
tigue made the ascent irksome in the ex
treme. After climbing the hills we continu
ed along a rldge,'tben descended a steep hill
to where Jefferson fork of the Santiam joins
Lake fork. The Jefferson is about the color
of water with one half the quantity of milk
added; runs with a rapid current, forty feet
wide and two and a half deep, rough bottom
and furnishes half of the stream where It
joins. The lake fork Is as clear as water can
be, aud the temperature several degrees
higher. At this place we lunched and made
the discovery that Mr. Sherman's haversack
containing a fine revolver and several other
articles had been lost from off our animals,
and after discussing the subject awhile, con
cluded that it would be better to look on our
return from this point to our last camp for
the missing article, than toreturn. Here we
again took up a hill, but upon surmounting
it we entered upon a gradually ascending
grade and through a beautiful park of young
pines, but tiresome to walkthrough on ac
count of our feet slipping on the leaves. At
the top of the mountain we suddenly came
to a lake considerably larger than Love lake
and in the same, but rather to one side, there
Is an island, while looking at It In a momen
tary halt, a large elk stepped out in full view,
distance about one hundred yards, where
upon Prof. Powell and Mr. .Sherman drew
up their Remington's and fired simultane
ously, when it ran a short distance and fell
dead. As it was not In very good flesh, and
having as much ns our animals could well
carry, we were compelled to leave consider
able of our prize to bo consumod by the
bears. This little chango of the monotony
of travel considerably raised our spirits and
rested us, so we again took tho trail with
lighter steps and hearts, descending to the
banks of this roaring forks of Jefferson,
which Is u very rapid aud noisy stream dif
ficult to cross, as it Is quite deep. At this
crossing Prof. Powell's mare in crossing
caught her rope in the rocks of the river
bottom, causing that gentleman to wade iu
and uuiooseu it, but itjdid no further damage
than to give that worthy gentleman a thor
ough wetting and we sympathised with him
by a heartv laugh, all of which he gratefully
appreciated by heartily Joining In with us.
From the banks of the Roaring fork we
again ascended a steep pitch for some dis
tance, when it acquired a more gradual up
ward tendency, through a pleasant and open
forest to travel through for a nillo and a
half, when we suddenly came out Into an
onen country and proceeded to traverse
alnug the side of a hill ou which all the
timber had been cleanly burned otl, but
covered with sweet laurel, detestable shrub
to travel through ;the only way that we could
find the trail which gradually bore down the
hill, was small backs on the brush or stakes
drlveu in the ground. The scenery here is
magnificent, the mountains on the south or
opposite aide of tho river are very high, ho
much so that there was considerable snow
yet remaining upon them, while high and
precipitous rocks stood out in bold reliof.aud
In places stratified with different colors of
stones, having the appearance of sandstone
or volcanic ashes from one point of observa
tion. Alter passing down to the river bot
tom we got taugled in a "burn" as it Is call
ed and the trail was simply informal through
Its crookedness.
At the river we found that our troubles
were not yet over, as the trail last year bad
been cut along the water edge, consequently
we were compelled to make a new route for
the pack animals, and our mules In passing
along run the pack against the "ragged edge"
of a projecting log, tore quite a bole Into our
beau sack, thereby loosing about half of our
rations iu that especially useful article of
food ou a mountain trip, so If there are beans
found growing along the river next year, the
phenomenon ean be easily explained by In-1
quiring of our party. Finally we reached
toe upper end of the pass and again railed a
bait while we proceeded to dig a trail over a
very precipitous rock, as the river's current
set directly and strongly agaldst this point
and during the high water of last winter the .
drift had entirely destroyed the trail made I
last year. The bank at this place is com
posed of first layer of unknown depth of I
lava, overlaid by twelve feet of volcanlo
scoria, which Is covered by decayed deposits I
du vegetation aunicieutiy auep ior sorest to
grow for considerable size. Hera we unpack,
to allow the animals sufficient freedom to
cllmn over, then packed them np again for
camp which we established a few hundred
yards distance at the foot of lower edge of
Independence valley.
Jnday,July UUh. This morning wo loft
camp hi !) o'clur-k and movod through the
woods up the alley over a bad trail fora
mlln ami it half to the prairie where we es
tablished our inaiu camp, and built us a
bru-ih tent to pro'ect us from tho hot suns.
This valley Is homo four miles loug mid lu
the widest place at least two miles wide, tho
three upper forks, that Is Lake, Mlddln mid
South torks of the Santitm river continent,
near tho center of th vallny. The prairie Is
two miles lougai'd tmoKini h half miles wide
with a strip of ilniburruiiiiin along the riv
er, that has escaped tho tirriblH llras that
have swept over tnei'nuutry and made the,
or rattier I might say two prairies. On each
side of the rivprtlm' mountains linvHitttHltiml
considerable heigLt, while lb" summit of
the northern is destitute of timber for space
of at least six thousand acres which Is cov
ered with a magnificent growth of bunch
grass. In the prairie where we campd
there are still some dead tics maiming,
while the sweet laurel prows hixurianllv In
patches and tho rest is bunch grass, afford
ing good grazing for our animal. The soil
Is light In body, ted iu color and shows still
the intense boat that it had been subjected to
when the last fire had swept over ir, while
the rock are more numerous than desirable
for agricultural purposes. At the upper
end of this prairie, stands in bold relief,
Pilot Rock, a peak of rocks with perpendicu
lar sides and of sufficient altitude to answer
the purpose of a notable and easily recog
nized land mark. From this rock It is one
mile and a quarter to the mineral springs
that have already attained considerable no
toriety as a resort for deer and elk. In the
afternoon five of us went up to examine them
and if possible to get a shot at a deer, while
walking along we shot and wounded a large
buck but he escaped, and we went on to the
springs where your correspondent killed his
first deer. The water bas a pleasant taste,
and Prof. Powell decided that It was white
sulphur, and possesses gentle laxative virtue'-,
and without a doubt would be beneficial
lu many cases of diseases, and will be fre
quently resorted to by invalids when a oad
shall nave been constructed to them.
Saturday, July l"th. This morning Prof.
Powell went out and killed a fine deer wbloh
we proceeded to " jerk," Jwhloh occupation
kept some of us for some time in camp,
while others were busy repairing the numer
ous rents that had been made in their wear
ing apparel, writing up notes and doing up
the camp work generally.
Sunday, July ISti We spent most of the
day in camp. Towards evening Prof.
Powell and Mr. D. W. Smith started ou a
trip to Mount Jefferson, taking with them on
their backs provisions and blankets, and
succeeded in climbing the first mountain,
where they built their fire in plain viow nt
camp, thus giving them a good start on their
rough trip, Mr. Sherman and myself went
to the springs to watoh during the night tor
deer, but were not successful, although we
could hear them around us.
The next day wo devoted to prospecting for
placer mines but did not find any indications
that would warrant the belief that there were
diggings In this region of country.
To-day Messrs. Powell and Smith returned
from their trip to Mount Jefferson, lu much
better plight than we expected. They did
not make the ascent of the peak, as Prof.
Powell was taken slok, consequently, after
examining around the base of the mountain
for a short time they discovered a lake, out
of which they caught several fine trout, and
then proceeded to return, making the dis
tance some eight miles by 5 o'clock. Thev
stated that the lake spoken of Is at least 2,000
feet below the ridge that leads to the summit
of Mount Jeflerson.
Wednesday, July 21. This morning at 0
o'clock we left camp at Independence valley
and started for Marion Lake and thesummit.
At the mineral springs (called Coopor's
Springs) we called a halt and all indulged In
a bo-irty draught of Its pleasant tasting wat
ers. The springs are situated along side of
the trail in an open spot of a heavy body of
timber, that has been burned off. The water
comes up at tuo base of a gentle rise through
crevices of trap rook, and Is not very plenti
ful, there are three places where the water Is
collected, the largest hole or receptacle will
probably hold a gallon, no sedlmntary de
posits are made that I could discover, the
water trickles down through shelving rock,
covering a spare about forty feet equare and
the deer work along the "seeps" instead of
drinking direct from tho spring. All around
the ground la trod down as it it worn a sheep
yard, and long well-worn pa'hs lead to this
place I mm every direction, showing that
ihey have used it for many years. Around
the spring thoro Is quite a growth of pine
and fir brush which is very convenient lor
hiding lor the hunter. lam Inclined to think
that this spring could be greatly improved
by digging into the rock, aud probably much
more water could be obtained as it evidently
runs underground to some distance below
where it again appears. The situation and
surroundings are very pretty as it lacesto the
south, while a high rugged mountain lies a
short distance back to the north of it,
giving protection most probably from the
cold north winds of whiter, but will be quite
warm in thn summer, as the suu has a fair
sweep from 8 a, m., to 5 i si. The river runs
west aud is about a quarter of a mile from
and south of the springs, and the roaring of
thn water can be distinctly heard.
From here we traveled for four miles
through heavy timber, but over a good trail,
then crossed several lateral streams of good
cool water; wo then commenced ascending a
long and gradual hill alter which we struck
the river again, where the river makes a leap
over an almost perpendicular rock, estimated
to be fitly or sixty feet, while a short dis
tance above it falls ten more, making in all
about seventy feet. We still continued to as
cend at considerable of a grade for some two
or three miles, when we noticed at a short
distanco to our left an opening which proved
to be a Hiuall lake or water lilly pond. Just
before we reached this place we shot at two
deer but did not secure either of them. We
now commenced to descend gradually to the
creek that flows from Arley lake where we
lunched, hut the water was bo warm that it
was almost unpalatable, so we pushed on
and iu a mile we commenced to ascend a
steep rooky ridge which proved to lie a por
tion of tho mountain that formed the basin,
making lake Or ley, but a good wagon road
can be constructed over It. At the top of the
lidge or rather divide we came In sight of
Lake Orley (named after the daughter of
Hon. T. W. Davenport). This is a very
pretty sheet of water circular In form cover
ing an area of 100 acres, but not very deep.
Along the opposite margin and to our lelt
there Is gross and willows growing, while
further iu the water, the water or pond lilies
were In bloom with their wide spreading
leaves on Its placid bosom. Two large loous
were desporting themselves at which we all
tried our rifles and revolvers, only causing
them to do some first-class diving, The out
lei or mis lane is crossed wuere we first
strike it, and runs beneath the rocks and
out of sight and there is a fall or several feet
