Major Williams battalion of the End
infantry will return from their field
trip on Wednesday after a very sue
cessful tour of exploration. Numerous
small parties of both officers and men
have succeeded in crossing the main
ridge of the Pail from the heads OF the
valleys where their various camps
have been located. This work, though
arduous and at times dangerous, has
been accomplished without other than
minor accidents, due largely to exc
treme care and good management.
The battalion numbers among its Of
ficers two especially energetic guides
in the persons of Lieuts. P. j. LAUDER
and Thomas j. Camp. These officers
have familiarized themselves thor
oughly with the mountains in this vi
cinity by numerous trips made unoffi-
cially and in pursuit of their favorite
sport of mountain climbing.
