There never was a quarry opened like this and we'll surely hold it some way until we get the cream that is the easiest to get anyway. I have no fears if we manage it right, and the chances are if we can get it before the Secretary himself we will get a patent on the old ground yet.

There will probably much develop in a short time now so you probably will hear from me oftener.

I do not see why we cannot get free transportation if anyone can do so.

I shall follow all your instructions.



Yours sincerely,

Earl Douglass



I may be able to give some very welcome news of a new discovery outside of the quarry in a short time but will not crow too soon.
