I went to-day to Mill Cañon Divide and southward on the Darwin road two or three miles farther, the road bending around to the eastward, and then proceeded down a canon to its junction with Mill Cañon at the old mill. The cañon down which I came Is have called the south fork of Mill Cañon. After proceeding about a mile down the cañon below its fork I returned up the main or north fork to Mill Cañon Divide, and returned to camp by the trail. Altitude reading at Mill Cañon Divide, on the way down, 8450 ft. ^5650 ft. = 1720 m. On a southwest slope at the divide and a hundred feet higher is the upper limit.
