Territorial Enterprise, February 1866

[San Francisco letter written February 9, 1866. Recovered from Montana Post, March 10, 1866, p. 1.]

Leaving for Montana

There are a number of persons here from the Blackfoot country, and they are making arrangements to leave here for Montana again in the course of a month or six weeks. They will go by Johns' road from Red Bluff to Owyhee, which possesses the advantages of plenty of grass, water at convenient camping intervals, only two streams to cross, and no tolls to pay. It is supposed, with reason, that the bulk of the emigration, in the spring, will pass over this road.
