Found a number of fresh Lobo tracks and followed one up the gulch where the wolf had eaten a little rawhide from an old dead cow. Saw lots of coyote, Lynx, & fox tracks. Killed 3 Eutamias & saw a few more. Found lots of interesting birds & nests.

No one lives in the canyon but a fairly good road runs up nearly through it to an old tumble down camp. The road seems to have been used mainly for hauling out timber, but an order pasted near the entrance of the basin forbids any more cutting of timber and is signed "timber inspector". The timber is only juniper & nut pine but these are of great value for wood & posts in this region of wide plains & stock ranches & should be thoroughly protected from waste.
