Show P0Z0 DE LA ROSA- PINE AND OAK SPRINGS. 335 June 19. I went one league east, accompanied by the captain and three of his rancheria, with another principal ( man) who had a beard, though a slight one, from the Rio Jabesua. 18 Here there was a rancheria, and before I reached thereto a well of abounding water, to which, as it was crowned with roses, I gave the name ( Pozo) de la Rosa." Throughout this region there are many and lofty pines. I went up thereafter two leagues to the north, 20 and halted in a rancheria whereat, being importuned by the Indians, I passed the night. June 20. I went five leagues east, two northeast, and three north, the last four of these over very bad ( molisitna) ground through some cajones the most profound, though all were well grassed and with " Rio Jabesua = Cataract creek, for which Garc6s has been heading from the start See on, when we get there. " Pozo de la Rosa, or Rose Well, is Pine spring of present nomenclature, which either named itself . from the coniferous character of the forest or else may be traceable to what Ives says of his Pine Forest camp, marked " * 7i"; p. 103 of his Report, Apr. 10, 1858. " About five miles north of Pine spring is another, now known as Oak spring. This fits GarceY advance to a nicety, and each spring seems to confirm the identification of the other here made. There is a third spring called Aubrey's, about the same distance west of Oak spring. From his present position Garc£ s makes a straight break for the " horrible abyss " of the Hualapai trail by which he enters Cataract canon. |
