or less low bushes, mostly Mesquit. In the foothills begins the scrub Oak. It is evergreen; the leaves being insensibly replaced with new ones in May. A little higher the junipers come in, being called "Cedar" by most people here. Still higher on the north sides of the hills is a little Pinon and scrub Pine and on the summits is a heavy growth of Pine, red and black. In the steep gilches is some Fir, and on the steep hill sides, mostly facing the north, near the summit are patches of Aspen. The valleys are about 5000 ft altitude and the high- ests summits perhaps 900
