Nov. 23.
Arrived in El Paso at 8:30 this morning. When I awoke we were nearing the boundary and passing through a very sandy regions. Dunes of loose sand extended in every direction. I take the train on the Southern Pacific Ry. for Maricopa, Arizona. Leaving El Paso we crossed the Rio Grande and passed through a sandy region populated by Pocket Gophers and Jumping rats both large and small. It got dark shortly before we reached Deming.
