I then went on to the top of the Kanyon through which runs Ash Creek.
Thomas Bullock and Samuel Atwood were with me. In about 2 hours
we rolled into the Kanyon about 1000 feet below about 50 tons of
rock. We rolled off one which would weigh about 5 tons. It fell
about 200 feet and struck a shaft of rock and took it with it and
falling into the Creek 800 feet below sent a sheet of water about fifty
feet into the air. We made a good deal of thunder for awhile
After wearying ourselves of this we returned to the fort

On our return we found the people assembled
in meeting. President Young had spoken and also Parley P. Pratt
neither of which I heard. President Kimball was speaking when
I came in and Lorenzo Young followed and the Spirit of God
was upon him and he prophesied many things

There was no report of any part of the meeting
only T. D. Brown's minutes of President Young's speech which he
gave me and it is with our reports in the Historian's Office
Thomas Bullock and myself reported all the President's sermons
when we were present as we were appointed Historian and
clerk of the Camp.

Next day we rode back on the bench on our
return home 3 miles and the company stoped and President Young
located the new fort groungd to be called Fort Harmony
Thomas Bullock took an account of it in his Journal. The
location was good and there was a great quantity of grass and
good soil. We rode to the Creek and nooned and thence
to Cedear City

About 20 miles south of the Rio Virgin ^Fort Harmony^
we descend rapidly a long distance into another climate on the
Rio Virgin. There was a kind of fruit there covering
thousands of acres which was very choice. Its flavor was
between a strawbury and cranbury. William C. Stains
had some of it growing in his garden
