Text Appearing Before Image: 9 a. m. we continued our backward march, to a point near the bivouac ofDecember 16. Here we turned more to the right, and, from the prairie valley before men-tioned, found an arroyo leading eastward towards Canon Diablo. Turning from this, we crosseda low lava ridge and entered a grassy meadow. Skirting a forest of cedars and pine, we de-scended the arroyo to a sudden breaking away of the rocks, which produced a fine place for awaterfall, and a short canon below. Water was still standing in pools above, and beneath * This stream was called by Leroux Rio San Francisco, from the mountain near which it takes its rise, and it is thus desig-nated in the report of Captain Sitgreaves. The early Spanish explorers gave it the name of Rio Verde, which is still retainedamong the Mexicans of the present day, and appears upon modern maps. As there is another affluent to the Gila known asthe San Francisco river, it would seem proper, if only to avoid confusion, to preserve the original appellation.
