Left ranch at 10 A.M. & went up to our camp on Birch Creek where I arrived at 6 P.M. Barometer at camp, 6 P.M. [[insertion]] 2300 in. [[/insertion]] 6600 ft., clear.
Found things in good order at camp; The cook had been on a drunk but had recovered. The boys - Dutcher & Streator - had worked steadily & collected more than a usual number of specimens including a Lagomys & a S. townsendi & a big pale Tamias, all of which they got on a trip to a cañon 5 or 6 miles East of camp.
