[[blank page]] [[end page]] [[start page]] Prescott Junction registirs 5425 feet. There are no trees in the valleys, but there are a few ^[[insertion]] cedars [[/insertion]] on the hills on all sides. Reached Prescott Junction at 11 A.M. & went to the Pioneer house. The Prescott train had not come in the night before & did not come till 2 P.M. & then returned at 3 P.M. It is a rackety old thing with a patched up engine, can run down a hill all right but cant pull up hill. Started down a narrow, crooked valley, & a great rate, but fortunately kept right side up. Passed a lot of Prairie Dog holes 5 miles below Prescott Junction. Saw a Coyote & a Falco mexicana. The valley widens & there are ranches & some water & finally a small creek. Grass is good except where pastured too close. There are no trees except a few scrubby cedars on the hills. At Banghearts, 50 miles from Prescott Junction & 25 from Prescott, a man bought a dozen freshly killed Lophortyx gambeli & two Gadwells onto the train. Had to wait half an hour to get up more steam 15 miles from Prescott & here it became too dark to see. Reached Prescott at 8 P.M. & went to the Williams house. Prescott is 5500 feet.
