[[underline]] Espanola [[/underline]]

[[underline]] Oct.16. [[/underline]] Sunday morning. Waited till noon to read & write letters, then drove down to Espanola and 2 miles below to the Santa Clara Pueblo & camped just above the Pueblo on Santa Clara Cr. Saw Mr. Thos. S. Dozier at the Pueblo, but can do nothing about storing outfit till tomorrow. Gant set a lot of traps.

The Santa Clara Pueblo is too civilized for much interest. The houses are mainly one, or a few 2 stories high, with doors & windows & in general not very different from the Mexican adobes. The people are bright with pleasant faces, but less picturesque than the Taos. Some dress in white mans clothes & I think many are mixed with Mexican.

Mr. Dozier's wife is a Santa Clara. Miss True, the teacher says the average expenditure of the Santa Claras per capita per year is $25. She has taken a careful census for two years with practically the same result.
