allow, the pack ponies giving some trouble from the constant loosening of the tying of their packs. At about 15 miles came on a large river running northward & like the St. Marys R full of beautiful clear blue water & very rapid. After some trouble found a place to ford & crossed. Lost the trail for some time but presently picked it up again. One of pack ponies rolled over on its back in a little stream but was extricated without damage.

Went about 5 miles past the river & then stopped on a brook to rest the horses & lunch. Walked on about a mile to the top of a little hill from which had a good view of the N End of Waterton lake & its valley & the river to which it gives rise, running northward. Returned to place
