[[underline]]Sept. 9[[/underline]]. Said to be Sunday, when we inquired at Jamez Springs.

Continued down the canyon which grows steeper and narrower about 4 miles to the saw mill at junction of South Fork with the main Jamez. Here on hot, steep, barren S.W. slope the junipers & nut pines & blue oak begin and mark the extreme upper point of Upper Sonoran. Transition continues on cold slopes and top of mesa walls to James Hot Springs. Then the valley opens out more & is all Upper Sonoran, with 3 species of Juniper, nut pine, blue oak, & the full set of Sonoran plants. Little farms occur at intervals & small fields of corn & alfalfa & potatoes, & melons & squashes & such fruits as peaches, pears, nectarines, apples, & grapes are common & good.

Camped among junipers about 5 miles above Jamez Pueblo
