to edge of valley on N.E. slopes.
A dry creek bed runs through the valley but there is no water, no irrigation, no farming. A Mexican - Mr. Gomez - has a big herd of sheep & a fine ranch in the best of valley 2 miles from Dulce - south.
A few Indian teepees are located in dry corners of the valley around Dulce and following down the dry draw we passed a dozen or so empty little one room log houses with usually a brush bower over the doorway. A few loads of Indians were seen returning from the dance but few had returned to their houses. None of their places had fields or even pastures near. The only water was in wells or holes dug in the draw, usually at a long distance from the houses.
A few horses were seen along the draw. The grass is fairly good most of the way at a distance of 3 or 4 miles from water. Sheep have cleaned it all off near water places.
