Go back to the railroad, take a second load of water, camp the first night out at your first wagon, and leave the second load of water farther south, twenty-five miles or so.
"Then go back to the Gila and pack the rest of your plunder in this wagon of yours, all ready to start the minute you get a telegram from me.

Wire back to me so I'll know when to start.

You will have water for your horses at twenty-five miles and fifty, and enough left to use when you go back for your next trip.

After that we'll have other men to help you.
"When you leave the last wagon, put on all the water your horses can draw.

You'll strike little or no sand after that and we'll need all the water we can get.
