Wm B. Richardson 1936 48 General Account while the valley region is given to sage bush, and and and another unknown bush having a compound flower. Along the river there are a few yellow pines, a few willow (and a border of green grass. The grass has been well grazed down by the cattle. The river is not large about 15-10 ft wide and not over 2 ft. deep. At present the water is quite muddy due to a cloud burst yesterday. The soil here is a coarse orangish tan gravel. It is of granite origin which had a predominance of feldspar. Last evening I set 100 mouse traps, 5 rat traps, 13 gopher traps and 1 mink trap. Aug. 11 My catch this morning consisted of 7 Thomomys bottae, 1 Neotoma fuscipes, about 30 Peromyscus maniculatus. This afternoon I caught 3 more gophers. Three more gophers this evening. Aug 12 Catch - 6 Peromyscus maniculatus, 2 Dipodomys, 2 Reithrodontomys, 6 Thomomys bottae. Noon - 4 Thomomys bottae. Evening + Thomomys bottae
