Benton, I, Antoine Leroux, native uf St. Louis of Missouri, and now an inhabitant f Tans, in New Mexico, do make tha follnwiosr state ment In relation to the Pass at the head of the valley of the Del Noite aud of the country on each side of ihat Pass) mid also as to the best road from M'aiotiri to California. And first tell how I got acquaiuted with me country In Ihe year 1 8? II. when I waa tn my nineteenth year, I oioed Gen. Aihley and Maj r Henry in an ex pet II tion of hunting and trapping to the Upper Missouri and Rocky Mount iina, aud alter near two years in thai part I went to Taos, iu Now Mexico, and afi or wards married there, and have made it my home ever siucei aud from that place I carried on tha business of a beaver trapper for about fifteen yeara, generally on the waters ol the Great Colorado of the Weill aud have trapped the whole country every river, creek, and braoch from tha Gila to the bead of the Grand River folk of the Upper Colorado, aud out to tbe Great Salt ' Lake, and on the waters of Wall-Sate b Mountain, and out to the Virgen River, and have been four timea to California, aud guide to a grout many American officers employed in Mexico, and know the country from New Mexico to California. I will now describe the Pass. At the head of the valley of Del Norte there Is a broad pass about tight miles wide, called by the Utah Indians Coo cha-tooe. and bv tho Mexican Spaniards El Puerto, and which signifies in both languages The Gap or Gate; and bos been known to the Spaniards ever since they settled in Now Mexico, and by tbe Indiana always. It is made by tho Sierra San Juan, which comes up from the South ou the west side of the Dol Norte, and gives out there; and by the Sierra Blanca, which comes iu from the oust like it was going to join the San Juan, but turns off norib round thu head ot the Arkansas und towards the Three Parks, and is eight miles wide. Here betweon these two mountains is the Pass which goes out level from tbe valley of the Del Norte,(and looking like a continuation of it,) which leads to the upper waters of the Great Colorado of the West. The Del Norte does not bend iu this Pass, but in the San Juan Mountain, a little south of the Pass, where there is also a summer Pass, but none for the winter on account ol the snow in it. There is a small creek in this Puss called by tbe some name,Ooo-cba-tope, Which comes out from Ihe end of the San Juan and goes about eight miles east towards the Del Norte, but stops in a small lake, out of which a Utile stream gets to the Del Norte which shows how level the country is. Tbe Pass is heavily timbered with large pine trees, and with pinou; and there may be some small oaks, but I am not certain. There is not much snow in this Pass, and people go through all the win-ter; aud when there is much snow in the mountains on the Abiquiu routo, (which is the old Spanish Trail to California,) ihe people of Taos go round this way, and get into that trail in the fords uf Grand and Green rivers. There are trails Ibrough il, but afier you get through there are many trails, some going to the Abiquiu road, and some up or down ihe country. This Pass is laid down on a mop I saw in the War Office, made by Lieut. Parke and Mr. R. H. Kern, and is there named after me, because I gave Lieut. Parke information about it. 1 1 is the only map I have seen that shows that Pass, and thu best one 1 huvo seen of Ihat part of the country, and with a littlu correction would be perfect.As for the country on each side of the Pass. I will describe it, and on tbe east side first. There is a large valley to tbe east about 50 or CO miles wide and near a 100 miles long, reaching from the Coo cba-tope to the Taos settlements at the Little Colorado. The Del Norte runs through this valloy, which is tbe widest and best vnllev in all New Mexico. and can hold more people than all New Mexico besides. It is all prairie except on the creeks, aud on tbe mountain sides, which are welt wooded. It is a rich soil and covered with good grass, and wooded on all Ibe streams. The Spaniards called it El Valle dc San Luis, aud it was formerly famous for wild horses and buffaloes; and ever since Taos was settled by the Spaniards the inhabitants drove their sheep aud cattle mere io winter, ueiore ine utau Indians became so bad, the stock as many as dq.OtJO or (10,000 head of sheep and cattle have been driven there to winter, where they did well, feeding on the grass during the day, and sheltering io ihe woods about ihe shepherd's camp at night. Most of the winters there is uo snow along the toot of tbe mountain un the north side of this valley, being sheltered from the north and open to Ihe sun in the south. The United States have eitablithed a military post in this valley, not far from the Pass of El Sangre de Chris to, and about two hundred families have gone there to live, chiefly near ihe Fori, and raised crops there last year; and now that they have protection, the valley will soon be all settled, and will be the biggest and best part of New Mexico. About three hundred families were preparing to move there. The post is called Fort Massacbuseits. This valley has several passes through (he Sierra Blanca into the prairie country on the Upper Arkansas and Kanzai, the best of which is called El Sai grede Christo, at tbe head of little streams called 0 .ihadaa, which fall into tbe Huerfano, a small river ailing into the Arkansas, not far from Bent's Fort. It is a good Pass, and Bent and St. V rain's wagoi s have paased through it, and it is passable the ort of winters; for Col. Beale's dragoons passed tjrnuph it the same winter, and nearly the same time, that Col. Fremont went through a other Pass further west. Tbe distance through these passes is not more than five miles. This is the description of the country on tbe east aide of tbe Ooo cha-tope Pass. On ihe west side of tho Pass tbe country opena out broad and good fur settlements, and for roads, and is tbe best watered country I ever saw oat to tbe Wah- salch Mountains and to La Vega de Santa Clara. After that the water and grass become scarce, and tbe land poor, and it ia railed desert, though travelers find camping grounds every night; and the great cavalcade of many thousand head uf horses from California to New Mexico annually passed along it. Alter you go through the Pass at the bead of the Del Norte, there are many trails bearing southwest towards the great Spanish trail by Abiquiu, which they join in the forki ol tbe Graud River and Green River (forks of Ihe great Colorado of the West), where it is a great beaten roao, easy io imiuw day or nigtit. ihe country is wooded on tho streams with prairies between, and streams every three or five miles, as the great Colorado nore gamers us uead waters from tu Wah sate b and Rocky Mountain ranges, which are covered all over with snow in the winter, and bave snow upon their tops in the summer, which sends down so much water, oool, clear and good, And this is the case generally out In the W ah-sate b Mountains and Las Vegas do Santa Clara a distance of near five huudred miles from the head of Ihe Del Norte. Wagons can now travel this route to California, and have done It. Io the year 1837, two families named 8 louver and Pope, with their wagons and two Mexicans, went from Taos that way. Col. r remont was looking ur the Coo-cha-tone Pass in the winter of ltM8-'9, and was near enough to bavo seen it, if it had not been hid by the lapping of the mountains, when bis guide hd him off into (be mountains, instead of keeping up the dry valley, which he wished to do, and which would have taken him through eaay. It was Ibe worst winter for anew, but we could travel all tbe lime in the valleys and passes. I was below him un the waters of the Arkansas at the same time, acting as guide to Col. Beale, who was out after tbe Apache Indiaus with a detachment of dragoons, and we heard of him at the Pueblo's. He went as high as Hsrd-Scrahhle and got corn before he crossed inio the valley of San Luis, and we got corn at the Greenhorn Pueblo on tbe San Carlos creek, about 50 or 60 miles below him 1 and beard that he had passed along, and supposed that he had gone sale through, and knew no better till be got back to Taos, when I told him how near he bad been to ibe place he waa looking for. We passed with the dragoons through the Pass F.l Saugre de Christo, (Blood ol Christ.) and got through easy t and that was the dead of winter, and greatest snow we ever had. There is a wav also u tho Arkansas to set to Ihe waters of the great Colorado. It ia by Bent's Fott, by the Pueblo's and Hard Scrabble, (at all which places corn and vegetables are raised.) and by Withsm's fi til ery, and at the head ol the river, leaving ihe Ihree Parks to the north. Horsemen and stock can go that way. Maxwell of Taos, drove out between four and five thousand head of sheep and cattle last summer, intending to take them to California, but went to the Great Salt Lake and sold them thete. A wagon can now go from Missouri to California through ihe Goo-cha-tope Pass without crossing any mountain but the Sierra Blanca, (and there have the choice of three good passes.) and without crossing any swamp or large river, and nearly on a siraightlino , nil the way, only bearing a little aouth. And mi polios of grain and cattle can be had from Iho Pueblo a on the Upper Arkansas, and also from Ihe Mexicans in the valley of St. Louis, and also from Ihe Mormons at Ojo San Jose, and at I heir settlement on the Nicollet river, and at Las Vegas de Santa Clara. I have been from New Mexico to California four times, namely, ihe way I guided Col. Conk, the way I guided Oapt. Si" greaves, and tbe Salinas route, and the Abiquiu rout; and uf these four the one I guided Capt, Slip reaves is, as I informed Mr. Seward, the best and shorlesl route from Sunta Fe or A Ibuquerque t but mm places further north, aud especially from Missouri, the Coo-cha tope Pass is beat and shortest, and haa most water, grass, wood, and good land on it; and baa most snow, but not enough to prevent winter traveling; ' ao that when there is much snow in the trail by A1-quiu, people from Taos go that way, aa I have already said. The snow in that country is dry, and the moccasins that we wear do not get damp or wet. And being asked by Co). Benton to state Ibe best way from Missouri to California, l answer! Start as the people now do, goiug to New Mexico, from the frontier of the Sialo at Kanzas or 1ndeieiidence, and for summer traveling go through the prairies up towards Bent's Fort, and up the Huerfano to the Pass Kl Sangre de Christo; then out by the Uoo t ha-tojte Pass, following a trail tu the great Spanish trail. The winter travel would bo to start from ihe same point, but follow the Kaiia is river valley for the sake of the wood, and when ihat gives nut cross tu ihe Arkansas, which is not for off, and level beiweeu.and follow ihat up for wood. The prairie is the way in ihe summer, but winter traveling must have the protection of woods and timber against snow storms. And every thing that 1 tell I cau show, and would undertake to guide a parly safe through with wagons now, Amtoihx Liroox. Washington City, March 1, 1853. Cm tor Toothache. Mr. Jamei Batbow, of Airdris, says: "Gum Copal, whon dissolved in chloroform, forms an excellent compound fur stuffing the holes of decay-ed teeth. 1 have used it frequently, and the benefits my patients bave derived from It have been truly aton-Uhing. The application is simple and easy. I clean out the hole, and moisten a little piece of cotton with solution 1 iutmduce this into Ihe decayed part, and in every instance ihe relief has been almost instantaneous. The chloroform removes the pain, and tho gum copal resist the action of the saliva t and as the application is so agreeable, those who may labor under this dreadful malady would do well to make a trial of it,"
