[[underline]] June 3. [[/underline]] Went down the canyon & back over the country that I came over after dark last night. Found a couple of little springs that are probably not permanent. With the glass I saw 3 deer a mile away go into some brush & lie down. Sneaked onto them & killed one, a young doe, but am not sure whether it is [[underline]] texensis [[/underline]] or the little mexican species. Had to come home for a horse to get the deer with, so did not get it skinned till after dark. Had rather a hard days tramp & feel badly worn out.

[[underline]] June 4. [[/underline]] Set traps up the gulch & worked near camp. Did some writing to let my legs rest up. Sent Suster to the store (Ernsts') for mail & supplies & he did not get back till 9 P.M. Found it good 15 miles each way
