the summit of the bluff had a good view of the valley of the 
Santa Clara and of the interesting recent flows of lava. Mor- 
mon residents, Messrs. Woolly, Lund and Judd were very kind. 
They know many of our Survey people who have visited

largest of these trunks is upwards of 30 feet in diameter 
for a length of 12 feet or more. Hear Pipe Spring I found a 
few mounds with fragments of pottery and flint chips. Some
