 Creek enters Pine Creek approximately 1^^ miles above the mouth* The 

 stream is about 18 miles longo It had an average ■vridth of l5 feet, 

 and was discharging about 20 CofoS, East Pine Creek is passable to 

 fish for a distance of about 10 miles, and possesses a considerable 

 amount of good spawning area. It is of little value as a salmon 

 producer at present, but has good potential value, Steelhead are 

 reported to enter during the spring high-water period, 



5F-(1), Clear Creek , — (July 18,19^2^ Parkhurst,) Clear Creek 

 enters East Pine Creek approximately ^ mile above the mouth» The 

 stream is about 17 miles long. It had an average width of 9 feet, and 

 was discharging about 12 CofoS, Clear Creek is passable to fish for 

 a distance of about 7 miles, and possesses a considerable amount of 

 good spawning area. It is of little value as a salmon producer at

5Go East Fork . — (Not surveyed,) Tlie East Fork enters Pine 

 Creek about one mile above the mining camp of Cornucopia, or approxi- 

 mately 30 miles above the mouth. The stream is only about h miles 

 long. It was discharging about 30 c,foS, The gradient of the East 

 Fork is even steeper than that of upper main Pine Creek, the stream 

 descending rapidly in a series of cascades and small falls over a 

 bed composed chiefly of bedrock and boulders, '^ne East Fork was 

 considered to be of no value as spawning area for salmon, 



5H, West Fork ,— (Not surveyed,) The West Fork and the Middle 

 Fork flow together to form Pine Creek at a point approximately 32 

 miles above the mouth of the main stream. The West Fork is about 2 

 miles long, and has its source in two small connected high mountain 

 lakes, which together are about 3/U mile long. The discharge at the 

 mouth was estimated to be 20 to 30 cf.s. Like the other tributaries 

 in the headwaters of Fine Creek, the West Fork is a typical turbulent 

 moxmtain stream, with a steep gradient, and a bed composed chiefly of 

 bedrock and boulders. It was considered to be of no value as spawn- 

 ing area for salmon.

 to the formation of Pine Creek at a point approxL-Tiately 52 rrdlet; above 

 the mouth. The stream is about 2 miles long. The discharge at the 

 mouth was estimated to be 15-20 c,f .s. The gradient is steep, and the 

 stream bed is composed chiefly of bedrock and boulders. Like other 

 inountain streams of this nature, it was considered to be of little or 

 no value as spawning area for salmon, but may be utilized to a limited 

 extent by steelhead trout, 



6, Powder River , — (July 2-l6, 19l;2; Parkhurst,) The Powder 

 River joins the Snake River at Robinette, Oregon, approximately 29U 

 miles above the Columbia River confluence. The drainage basin of 

 Powder River and its tributaries comprises more than l600 square 

 miles of eastern Oregon, and includes portions of both the Blue
