oar SLAB at the head on which are the
words George Colgate"
On the hill just above the ticks there
Is large hollow tree into which bear
mad dragged the body of deer at some
previous time, and practically the entire
skeleton remained in place.
These ticks are two in number. The
upper one is an oval of bare space con-
tanning perhaps All acre of ground, and
covered with stones about the size of q
mans head, There are several warm
springs in the area, and the rocks are
more or less covered with deposit from
the springs. The stream flowing from
this lick passes down over bench about
thirty feet high and into second area
like the first. The ground around both
ticks was all cut up with game trails.
After nearly an hour spent in looking
around the ticks the party pushed OH
nearly three miles further to Old Jerry's
cabin. But as he was not at home a
camp was made about half mile below
his place. This was the finest camp on
the trip. A small area was cleared from
underbrush and Fir bough bed made.
The tent was not pitched for the trees
furnished the desired shelter. The doc
tor remained in camp while the editor
and the professor explored the surround
ing country, and fished the beautiful
river. All went we'll until Sunday, when
1t Was discovered that all but two OF the
horseo had escaped. The editor and the
professor started early on the trail.
The entire day was spent in the hunt.
1t was past the middle of the afternoon
when their trail was finally found, and
it was just about shutdown when all but
one OF them were found on the way back.
The missing one was Appalachie, and ~
it was fast getting dark no further hunt
was made for her. She never came to
camp, and was never found. The loss
Of the horse was not mourncd over very
much for tive reasons; first, the beast
was mean, and second, she had such
bad back that she was only an extra
worry to the party. Her pack saddle
had been lett at the Grave Yard.
The first OF the following week band
of Nez Perez Indians came down to the
river on their way to some hunting
grounds further back in the mountains.
The party eamped above Old Jerry's.
There were thr9e Indian men, q half-
breed, three squsNs and several chill
dren. - p.
The editor sld the professor had found
a very promising looking lick up Warm
Springs creek just before the Indians
came into thecalnp, and it was arranged
that the doctor, the professor and the
half-breed should 60 up and sleep
near the lick 80 AS to be ON hand for
morning hunt The result was that the
doctor slept between the professor and
the Indian. The Indian heard the prof
essor call the PA. D. doctor" and tax
ing him for an, Nj. D., commenced to
talk of the healing properties Of the var
ious herbs. He also addressed him as
"Dock." In fact the distinction between
PHI d. and NJ. d. is more than the In
dams can understand. The hunt at the
lick resulted in nothing but disappoint-
ment. Though the lick was just solid
mass Of deer tracks. The deer seem to
use these ticks more than the ones below
camp, while the elk seem to be below in
greater numbers. In one place on the
Warm Spring creek the water flows out
over cliff in such way as to form nat
ural shower bath, and the editor and the
professor enjoyed o good bath at this
natural bath house. BY changing ones
position any temperature of water from
that of the creek (about so degrees F. to
that of the hottest part of the spring
(absut 100 degrees F. could be obtained.
The cliff over which this water flows is
truly beautiful in it's covering of green
vegetable matter. The springs on Warm
Springs creek are several degrees warmer
than either those below Old Jerry's or
those Mt Wild creek.
