"How do you know he didn't hire them to carry down his drive for him? He'd need sixty men for his lower rollways, and maybe they weren't all to go to headwaters?" asked Orde by way of testing Charlie's beliefs. "He's payin' them four dollars a day," replied Charlie simply. "Now, who'd pay that fer just river work?" Orde nodded at Jim Denning. "Hold on, Charlie," said he.
But the best information obtained led me to believe that it does not. They are found in the Rocky Mountains to the south as far as the headwaters of the Nelson and Peace rivers in latitude 56 degrees, but I proved conclusively that in the main range of the Rocky Mountains very few of them are found north of the Liard River.
The topography of the wild mountain region was such that an army could only pass from the lower Kanawha to the headwaters of the James River by the road Loring had used in his advance, or by that leading through the post of Gauley Bridge to Lewisburg and beyond.
Carson had said at the feast was true, for I was as welcome at their home as though I was one of the family. Jim Beckwith had everything in readiness for our trip across the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The day before starting, Uncle Kit asked us what route we would take. Jim said that we would go around by the headwaters of the Gila river, this being a tributary to the Colorado.
They live along the headwaters of the Tagum river and are, he believes, a mixture of Ata and Mandaya. The writer believes that the Libabaoan are probably the same as the Divavaoan who are classed as a branch of the Mandaya. See p. 165.
Taking with us the two foremen who had brought beef herds out of Uvalde County the spring before, the major and I started south on the lookout for beeves. The headwaters of the Nueces and its tributaries were again our destination, and the usual welcome to buyers was extended with that hospitality that only the days of the open range knew and practiced.
Neither the scout, nor the two white men were deceived. Each knew that they were not likely to make the headwaters of Snake River without molestation. How right they were was abundantly proved on the afternoon of the second day. They were passing through a wide defile, with the hills on either side of them rising to several hundreds of feet of dense forest.
The point of beginning, as set forth, was at the headwaters of the Gila River near the Mexican line, which then, and until the Gadsden Purchase in 1854, followed down the Gila River to the Colorado. At that time the boundary between Upper and Lower California had been established to the point below San Diego, which thus became included within the territory claimed.
When a certain Famous Hunter, whose heart took pride in horns and heads and hides the trophies won by his unerring rifle in all four corners of earth found his way at last to the tumbled wilderness that lies about the headwaters of the Quah Davic, it was naturally one of the great New Brunswick moose that he was after.
While in the central part of Mindanao, on the headwaters of the Pulangi river, the writer saw about fifty people known as Tugauanum who came over the mountains to trade. They were certainly of mixed ancestry, showing a distinct infusion of Negrito blood, and in other respects conforming to the description of Governor Bolton.
