folds. Then we travelled north to Bear Creek Canyon , at Col. E. E. Hughes’ country place. There we found lower Carboniferous fossils in a sandstone at about the same horizon as at Box Elder , just at top of a red sandstone very dark red at very top and overlaid by a very coarse pure white sandstone or conglomerate.

Reached Dakan ranch at 7:15.
