Thursday March 7.
We went up to the Red Pashman
Reach 4 miles above the range
cabin where a family man
Grant (W.J.) was living and
spent the afternoon lounging
around.
We saw a few small banks all
along the slopes of the Red hills
on the N. side of the Great Centre,
a few near the Red Slate
Blow Crystal Creek, a few
in Crystal Creek Bottoms; along
the ridges east of Crystal was
a good sized bank.
We went out to the Grownenter
when we crossed Northam's
Valley & Platte Creek. There was
none at the bottom of the valley
nor on the slopes bordering
Platte Creek as far as we
could see. On the bare hill
sides about 10 miles farther
were a few small banks, only
a few dozen.
