Pocket Gophers:—
A student, Arnold Richmond,
living on Pink Creek about
2 miles above its junction with
the Portneuf River, reported
pocket gophers very common
in the hillside pastures
along the creek.
This creek empties into
the Portneuf River eight
miles south of Pocatello.
Camp Lendoy, is located
about 10 or 12 miles up this
creek near its source, where
the known altitude is 6300
feet.
I would estimate the altitude
of this farm to be 5000 ft.
On a period of 3 weeks—
April 17-1929—to May 7,

Camp Lendoy.
A summary of this lot
is as follows.—
