Watson: I went,up toGran- ite yesterday; 26 milesup avery bad soad, and. recorded three claims, as you will see ‘by, the certificates, and came back ‘today. Shall wait here until the mail comes‘in and then go on the camp, ten miles." I ‘have located three good claims. “They are close to and joining Morgan’s and Barnes’ claims. On the Butte is as fine a ledge as you would wish ‘to nee. It in at least 60 feet wide, and quartz’ ‘crops out in different places, the entire length of the claim.. In do not wish to excite’ you, or exaggerate, but I do think we have as fine or better a showing or the surface than any claim I’ have seen so: far. Ihave sent you some of the rock that I knocked off| $ the ledge With my pick, and Iam _ posi- tive. that’ bya little work it will be» x wonder, and one of: the best claima on the = bill, far’ better “than the .eurface ingd en any of the ining claime. ‘When I get'time I shall get some pow- der and put in some shots, for 1am anx- ious to sev into it} Mr. Barnes ia here today,‘and I was telling. bim about the location, aiid he-eaid he uncovered the same ledge last year about 600 feet from ‘where I opened ‘it up,and that the quartz looked fine. He would huve lo- veated it but was mtrouble with his partne and iritended to locate it when hewent in this spring. He is working at rie the McQuay - boys, doing . assess- , abent’one mile from town.
