2 mi. W Smith Creek Cave, 6300ft, Mt Thorich, White Pine Co, Nevada Lee Arnold 1937 June 18, to set all available steel traps in this vicinity and make an effort to catch the porcupine or anything else living in the gulch. It was inter- esting to me to find that I was far more successful the second night of trapping on the sidehill NE of camp than on the first. Last night was much colder than the night before and there was not the wind there was the previous night. I set out 25 catch-alive traps on the flat east of camp yesterday. In them I caught 4 Peromyscus maniculatus. Yesterday evening while re-baiting my mouse traps I turned over a stone and found a Shink under it. Before I could catch it it hurried over to and under a bigger rock. Upon moving this rock I found that a small brown snake (probably a Faded Snake or Spotted Night Snake) was hiding under it also. I captured the both of them. Top & Mt. Thorich, White Pine Co, Nevada June 19 Yesterday about 2:30 P.M. Johnson, Fitch and Harvey returned to the Smith Creek camp. The plan was for me to go to the Hendry Creek Camp with Johnson while the rest remained at Smith Creek. Johnson and I rode to the mouth of Hendry Creek Canyon with Mr. Barker and hiked the remaining 7 miles or so to the higher mountain camps.
