[[underlined]]June 3 [[/underlined]] Left Clifton at 7:20 AM. & with clearer air & no wind got a better distant view. Clifton is, by the aneroid, only 75 feet higher than Guthrie, on the Gila  but over the ridges between we go [[strikethrough]]356[[/strikethrough]] 350 feet higher than Gutherie. The Gila valley is luxuriant in plant & animal life and many parts are very attractive. 
[[Duncan?]] is the Center of agriculture & civilization, the abundance of water, shade, green fields and crops attracting numerous birds. There are some pleasant looking homes & people & enough of the Mexican and wilder element to add interest.

Up the dry wash from Duncan we got a good view of the Peloncia Mts. to the west & the glass shows quite a lot of Junipers along the cold slope. A few Junipers were also seen on N slopes down near the valley bottom below Duncan.

Reached Lordsburg at 10.45 and [[Halatinta?]] at 11:45. By the aneroid [[Haldita?]]
