GRAND CANYON NEWS ITEMS
BASS STATION. Sept. 20.

The recent rains have washed the
 trail considera ble in many places
 and made the descent into the can-
 yon somewhat difficult until re-
 pairs are perfected Not since the
 opening of the railroad has there
 been such deluge as this, and
 there has been considerable specu-
 lation as to the condition of the
 trails at different points. Bright
 Angel creek was veritable torrent
 and what was, apparently, long,
 narrow valley of green foliage, is
 now a barred, rock bestrewn river
 bed. An effort is now being made
 to build trail from the north rim
 down this canyon, but it is a doubt
 ful proposition, as the stream must
 be crossed and recrossed at almost every turn, and a few hours rain will obliterate the work of months of expensive labor.
 Ted Chapin and Roy Kilgore re- turned from their expedition in quest of the lost animals and outfit of the geological survey on Satur- day, and report a very successful trip. They recovered three of the animals and most of the articles of value, and now have them in safe keeping awaiting further orders from the department. The rangers report having found the animals in a deep and almost inaccessa ble can yon, where they were imprisoned by the snow. and were compelled to eke out miserable existence on the underbrush until June 9th, when they were liberated by shov- cling trails through the banks of snow that still surrounded them. It was a timely rescue, indeed, they were mere skeletons when found.
 The boys also report having met the buffalo men while there. and Ted says he. in some manner, aroused the ire of the old COW that was found near the trail, and the way she resented her displeasure remains a grusome memory. The herd at present numbers about sixty, with quite number of Per sian sheep. as an experimental ven ture. It is a stock company, and they are occupying the reserve by permission of the forestry bureau
 Ranger Fenton left this morning with his camping outfit for the ex treme western portion of his do- main, with the intention of making l thorough examination of the 1 region around the east side of Cat 'ract Canyon.
 A party of gentlemen (four in number) from Searchlight, Nev., ,lso started out this morning for a ,en days hunting trip over in the Buckskin mountains on the north tide of the Canyon. It had been previously arranged to cross at Bright Angel and meet parties at he river who were to provide their outfit, but they failed to find any me who cared to risk the trip or lad the appliances to land them, 0 they took the train for Bass sta ion and are now in charge of Wal enberg, Keeslar and Widenor.
 Another party is due to arrive rom California on the 4th, on pleas Ire bent, "venison in tent"
