Stuffed the rest of the skins from yesterday. Skinned todays lot & set Sorex traps. Henry went 5 miles up the valley after grain & set some traps when he got back. An old Shoshone Indian came along & stopped to talk. He had one of the robes made of twisted Rabbit skin.
A clear, pleasant day.
Took up all the traps on the mesa on this side of creek.
