I have gone up it from that side two or three hundred miles.

We were a strong party, but we had to fight our way back again, and lost pretty near half our number.

You see by the map it lies on the north side of the Gila.
But as the Gila is eight or nine hundred miles long, that don't help us a great deal, and the map wouldn't be any good to us if it was not for this mark here up near the top.

You see all these things are meant for mountains, but as one mountain on a map is just like another, we should be downright done if it was not for this mark.

Do you see there are three little jags here close together?
Now I take it those three jags are meant for a mountain the Indians call the Three Sisters, which is a mountain with three peaks close together.
