September sftL , after a night in what ie probably the east ascent to 
Apache Pass, they proceeded westward over the mts. "we moved forward, 
and found ■fch.e mts. more difficult to pass then any we had encountered before, 
consisting as they did of continuous hills,which required much care on the 
part of the teamsters;yet,with locking the wheels 2 or 3 times,and a 
kittle assistance by hand,we soon got thru. The length of the pass, 
with all the sinuosities of our route,did not exceed 3 miles. On 
emerging from the opposite side a broad plain again opened to our view 
as before,with a range of mts. bordering its western side,about 35 
distant,and running parallel to those we has just left. ... A dry lake 
appeared about midway in the plain" Bartlett It 373 -A. The moved 
west across the plain and camped south of Wilcox Playa ,in central Cochise 
County,Arizona. 
Remained at camp south of Wixcox Playa the nights of Sept. 
Rote. Bartlett gives the latitude & Longitude of several camps 
which he states were determined by Liefct. Whipple,one of the party. 
These seem to be several minutes off,judging from modern maps.
