Text Appearing Before Image:
highest point reached was 12,800 feet. The Palomas reachan altitude 1200 to 1500 feet still higher. In many places the surfaceof the country was found to be as level as a prairie, the pasturagemagnificent. The wild oats and rye, buffalo, bunch, and other varie-ties of grasses were knee-high to the mules. Beer, black and whitetail, and mouse-deer, seen by the hundred; antelope abound on themesas south, and mountain sheep near Bosarito in the south-west.Large streams of water abound everywhere, and springs were foundat an altitude of 11,000 feet. It rained five times in June, fifteen inJuly, seventeen in August, and sixteen in September. A little overthirty inches of water fell in these rains. Most of these rains were accompanied by thunder and lightning.Only four trees were found that had been struck by lightning duringthe present season, and seven the year before. One place was foundwhere thirty-three trees on one acre had been struck by lightning.Brook trout were seen in two streams.
