m 18 Hamilton Lake
Solan Co, California
From the 25 traps set
out by Mr. Dixon last
night he got 10 Prongyems
and 3 Marmots
Today has been spent
largely about camp. This
morning I hunted along the
altitude to the lake but did
not get anything however I saw
a Callow, (Conis, and a Marmot.
Later in the morning we
took the mule down the
trail & mill to better find.
The remainder of the morning
and early afternoon was spent
in skinning. The later
part of the day has been
spent in getting ready to
break camp early in the
morning and taking care
of the mules.
The animal life here
is abundant. There is a fine
crop of Callow, prongyems, Chipmunks
and Marmots Today I have
seen 5 Marmots in the 1/4 mi
