Old Missouri.

Col. J. V. Brower. Minnesota State ge ographer, has made the Sensational dis .coyery that the source of the Missouri River is not Red Rock Lake. Montana, as lias been stated. Col. Brower has explored the whole region of the Upper Missouri, and now makes public the reetilt of his discoveries. He says the longest upper branch of the Missouri does not flow through the lower Red Rock Lake in Montana, but comes from a hole In the mountains, volcai.iic in its character, at the summit of the Rocky Mountains, west of Helery’s Lake, Idaho, and at a point bordering the boundary between that State and Montana.
