Sept. 14 Cottonwood Springs, 3040 ft., Riverside Co., Calif.
with lady residing there. She described, among
other things, what must have been a
White-Winged Dove, and what may
have been a Clark Nuttacker, each
had hung about their house earlier in
the year. Walked to mine about 1 mile
5E of the house; this is a shaft in hard
rock, about 100 ft. long, slanting down
at an angle of about 50°-60°. There were
no bats and was no bat sign evident.
Enroute to the mine, the road passes
through a wide place in a wash where
milling (?) for the mine may have been
done. There are remains of several building
and heavy scaffolding. Much lumber and
junk was turned in this area without
producing more than $25s. Several
Eucalyptus trees, about 5" in diam/2"
above the ground, were seen here;
one is apparently doing well; one shows
a little green; two look quite dead.
Returned to Cottonwood Spring via the
wash-canyon leading down to it from
above. Collected a ? Rufous Hummingbird
from the wash about 1/4 mile above the
(Spring)
Pontalimon?)
spring. Much Monkey Flower (?) was in
bloom in this area. Swinnina auriculie.
