— of been last night. The pack train is getting organized, they spent yesterday man-hauling a bunch of wild horses [illegible] up that have to carry packs.
One died and another was badly strained by a rope. Rained per usual this afternoon and evening, it gets dark by ten o'clock now.
Mon. July 4th
The glorious Fourth! Wet and dripping, and nothing to do but work. The pack-train lined up this morning, each horse opposite its pack-raddle about fifty strong, each tied to its neigh-bor's halter. They probably will not start till to-morrow, waiting for a few more horses and one more man. Watched them feed horses all day, after a vain hunt for specimens. Spared on the Mt. today whitening up the bare ridges, rained here off and on all day. Got close views of Pine Siskins, Bluebirds, Juncos (one slate colored with dark head) and Chipping Sparrows feeding around the cabins.
