JULY 5.

Continued our march down the valley for ten miles, when we turned to the

right, and on going two miles, came to what is called Dry Creek. In the

afternoon we followed up this valley. In it there is the channel of a

creek in which there is a little indifferent water in holes. A little

farther on we noticed more water in the creek, and presently we saw it

had increased to a stream. About ten miles up we stopped for the night,

where we found a well of tolerable water. Grass first rate. Distance,

twenty-two miles.
