I collected a good series of branches & nuts & sent to Sudworth in the hope that he will recognize the well marked species of [[underlined]] J. [[insertion]] uglans [[/insertion]] major [[/underlined]], instead of calling it [[underlined]] rupestris [[/underlined]].

[[underlined]] Aug. 16 to 18. [[/underline]] - Remained at Silver City, writing reports and making preparations for the trip. 

[[underlined]] Aug. 19 [[/underlined]] Started with team and camp supplies to the GOS ranch to find Hotchkiss and by accidental good luck he had just come in to the GOS ranch from his camp on Big Rock Cr., about 15 miles N.E.
Made arrangements to go to his camp and start with packs from there.  
On the trip over we found good crops and abundance of fruit along the Rio Mimbres. Apples, pears & plums are loaded with excellent looking fruit, & Peach & cherry trees are past fruiting but in good condition.
