drove
Deephole we swung northward through
surrounding rocky hills to the Silver
Bell mines where we looked for bats

Returning about 1/2 mi. to the main
road we drove farther North up a
rocky bad road through th. hills, to a
point 15 mi. NW of Deephole, Washoe Co., Nev.

Artemisia surrounded th. immediate
camp with a few scattered trees farther
up the hill as which we were camped.
20 traps were set around camp on
loose gravelly soil. 11 Peromyscus
maniculatus were taken.
Left this camp for Hauser, Nev. early in
the morning. Along the way saw
golden Eagle & Red tailed hawks. One hawk
was shot by E.T. Hooper 20 mi. NW Deephole, Nev.

different occasions along this road thru the hills.
