[[underlined]]Oct.8[[/underlined]]. Heard wolves howling in the night near camp & felt sure of one, but found they were too wary for my traps. They came to the scent of one trap but kept at a safe distance from it and went around another. It was a pair of old wolves with 2 young of the year & the old male made a huge track & evidently is a wise old leader, well up to trappers tricks. I have little hopes of getting any out of this bunch at present.

A coyote followed the wolves & got into one of my traps. Photographed him & made a specimen of him.

[[underlined]]Oct.9[[/underlined]]. Caught nothing. Broke camp and passing south through [[underlined]] Jewett Gap [[/underlined]] followed down into big dry valley & struck the road from [[strikethrough]]Swa [[/strikethrough]] [[underlined]]Luna Valley [[/underlined]] and followed it east along the foothills of the so called Datil range to [[underlined]] Galleo & Apach Springs [[/underlined]], where we lunched & then continued east till we struck the Tulerosa & Magdaleno road, the south & reached Tulerosa at dusk.
