Under late of July 18th, McComb goes on to
say TO his Lieutenant:
Have you had any definite talk with Lut-
treil2 He wants ten stone-eutteIs. 10 settle the
! matter OF fcourse he has Topped but presume
there Is nothing 10 do but to stand it.
| TO FIJI GEORGES PLACE.
Following are more letters from McCoIab to
! March 1, 1855 My son George has teYe-
! graphed that he is detained in San Francisco,
/ and am inclined TO think he win find other
| possible TO do without the place he filed now
| that it has been createdy If not, put somebody
in to fill it till find somebody that must take
care OF. OF course, let the person understand
that George will be back in day or two.
| A REASON FOR THE EXCESS
| February s, 1SsS-As Luttrell will be here
| before going to Folsom, it viii be good plan to
| get him enthused about what we are showing,
| to account for the outlay of money the bills
will go over S2 0O0 as against S13 coo for Deeem-
| Der. One item of our outlay is for two machine
gnns, S2sf0 0; another for brass gun. Sl50, lumber,
$1,000 or more; coal, three months supply on
account of the coal famine, $1,000 more. and
other items that am to get from the Commits
sary to SHOW the reason for the excess. teie-
phones, Photographic apparatus ard everything
which we considered every day business at Fol-
| som had to be supplied here. sS
THE PRAYING GENERAL.
| March 2, lSSS.-Old Fluff Hill, the Chaplain,
| has invited Geo. o. o. Howard TO preach 10 the
| prisoners on Sunday, and am very much afraid
|
! sequence. Howard commands the Military Di-
| vision OF the Pacific, and is the spray ing Gen
| has imposed the General on me, for a cali fnot
| for visit, hope, and shall feel uncomforta-
| Bile If the question of Sunday labor should come
up He Is entitled to thirteen guns Display the
| nag, OF course. hope We can manage TO clean
| up SO as to have the place looking presentabie.
| as Howard Is critic and comes from a tidy
place. Fish can 90 the honors
| but he must remember that the General is the
| guest OF Fluff Hill and is to go there unless
there is some other understanding which would
make it awkward.
February 8, IsSs.-Cant YOU deyelop some
man 10 DO the work that Fish fails to grasp,
| and find turnkey place for Fish? l think he
might readily catch on to the Mclean job but
| ne don't improve a bit in his present JOB. 1t
takes too long 10 find out If the order is being
attended to by him.
LUTrRELL is OPPRESSIVE.
March 10, 1SSS-Lutrel oppresses me with
his constant exactions before can get a chance
| 20 do anything Tor anybody else. de has been
| pavirg the way for this new man at every
interview; now he trots him out on the pave
ment.
| April Il, 1855 -Scrivaer is going after us on
| this notwithstanding he gives up SO completely;
| he hates to be left on any proposition, and he
| thinks the cart has gone on without him in
this case, think he will go after us the cost
| OF main aiming prisoners; it is evident that he
| has been inspired by Charley to do hIs that
Chsrley's idea OF being cunning
WORK THAT WILL SHOW.
March 25, 1SSS-Our great hold now is in do.
ing work that will show, without increasing the
outlay. Five roads, with little work, will make
| more impression than two with deep cuts and
| heavy fills. g Floating Aunie' Point needs the
grade OF narrow road leading along the edge
10 remove the ugly appearance of the ground
A road up to Reservoir Plateau (Pellucid Lake,
Will attract attention instantly. These roads
may "spoila de grass fora de cow but they are
needed in our business The point to be
attained is, just at this juncture, make as
| great display as possible.
THE NIGHT SHIFT
April 15, 1ssS-We must push the bag bus
mess up TO 1900 per day and divide the output
equally between the day and night shift.
october A. ISSS-DiIector Scriyner is of the
opinion that it will be best to have the re-
organization of the night shift made before the
meeting of the Board, 50 that he can say, pos
itively, that the night SHIFT is running with
nearly the full compliment of prisoners. If
Scrivner made that statement he was imposed
upon, as such was not the case. think you
had better report to me exactly what you said
| to the Governor on the subject, so that may
| make what have to say fl. in what you have
| already said.
NO PLACE FOR HENDRICKS.
April 27-I hope you have not forgotten about
| giving the typewriter the list Of Improvements
made since our advent at this Chinatown. If
| LuttTen has not changed his mind he will in.
corporate the statement in his report to be read
| at the next meeting. | am overwhelmed with
| communications in fayOr of that I'D - who
held ofiiee under the Democratic Warden. and
| then kicked because he was turned out for re-
| fusing 10 vote for the friends of his employer
| Find out for me how long that old bloke Hen
| bricks, worked here. and may be tempted to
reply to some Of his impertinent writer's who
! think it Is a shame that Her bricks who is
| unfit to do auy hard work. should be compelled
! TO wait for position.
| WANTS DEvLIS To KICK.
| May 2d-why no: get Devlin CT sonntag 10
| kick against the appointment of Teddy Burnes
| on the ground that he has created A scandal Inv
his intoxication while Gu dniy and his failure
| to take the trail Of Tommy Brown when seat 10
1 Carpenters ranch. Leylin can insist upon
| recommending some man if Warden Aull is re-
| duced to the strait of appointing q man whose
| drunkenness is notorious. Let our Republican
| Directors assert themselves as the Democrats do
at this haven of rest Aull is having il too easv
Deylin wants some men for his Third Ward in
! tiuence, and has spoken to me about getting
| them on down here. Get Rhosds to kick with
Devln about the influence of Nose Drew to
procure appointments. Burnes was swift to
| write letters and come down from the noun
tains to testify-and acit testify when the Legis-
| latiye Committees commence to inyestipate II
| will be poor satisfaction to punish a boy like
| Frank Meyers and let Teddy Burnes escape
scot Free as W. e. Hendricks would say
LUTTRELLs HARD GAME.
| May 6, ISsS-Try to labor with LuttrclI to pull
| away from that scheme for Office in San
! Francisco. krow it is a hard e amc,v but be-
| cause it is g hard game we must try to beat It.
| nope we VIII be able to show some results in
| the matter OF house-moyiDg before the meeting
stop further proceedings and / want to have
! something 10 show for cur four months sirug-
| gle. am also anxious to show some evidence
| OF an intention 70 make the proposed road
| around salt Water Hill, both for the novelty OF
the drive and for its assistance in getting good
grade to the swim place. as well as its use in
! opening up the sandstone quarry. | am cutie
eager 30 get some pieces of stone from that
quarry, for 1t is the best location, etc, etc
HAVE DoRUcK PULL HIM DOWN.
May Z, lSsS.-H will be necessary to go after
Boruck right away, TO have him pull down De
! Pue II he can--but cont think he can move
| him. That makes Luttrell ana Deylin of greater
consequence, and more in need of immediate
| missionary work. Give John hupch about
| getting in to labor with Deylin he won't ac
| compish an thing, but 1t will make him feel
| some responsibility.
AFRAID OF THE REFoRTERs.
May 7, ISSS-Get scrivner to look over the ae-
counts and approve them so as to prevent any
| sorehead Director from making any unfrienjly
| inquiries in the presence OF the reporters. YoiI
can say to him that have given orders TO cur
! tail expenditures 10 the lowest possib figure
until we see whatthe bag market viii do for u.s.
| and for the remainder OF the two years so as to
have our finances in good shape. Still that
| should not be discussed before newspaper men,
| who are hungry for material TO weave into a
| couple OF columns. We want to give Luttrell
| hunch on this, also. Sonntag won't ask foolish
/ questions any more.
II LIttrell is not dead set ON introducing that
resolution about prosecuting the whisk. sellers
| would rather not have 1t talked of at all. You
| can show him that the law makes every person
amenabe who Offers visitor glass OF wine.
| even Parson Hill could be prosecuted for invit-
ing the Bishop 10 revive his strength by taking
| glass OF communion wine Tell him the high
| license people may take up the matter and we
| can safe y leave it with them, but think the
| law is unconstitutional: anyway, it will be re-
| pealed at the nj xt Legislature.
May 10, 1SSS.-l have written q note to Sc iy-
| ner to prepare him for your visit. have men,
| toned luttrells demand to have his son taken
| care OF and the slight peevishness displayed in
Devlins letter. Get him enlisted TO stop the
annoyance
DEvIIS CARRIED AWAY.
June g. lSsS-I took Devlin up to Del Monte
Junior Salt Water Hill and gave little history
| of what is being done here-informaiion th at Is
| very much needed. He has been completely
carried away by the joud-mouth pretensions Of
the Folsom n fer, who says he Is wiling TO
put his resignation in the hands of the Directors
| ifhe don't make 81 a day each ON &5 prisoners
TO be transferred from this place
VERDICT FROM VISITORS
July 81, lSSs.-I sm impatient to see as much
| SHOW" work as can possibly be accomplished
: so as to strike the visitors on the 9Th and the
| Directors on the Sth. The methods of making
| a show may seem frivolous, but we are very
4 much in need OF a verdict from the visitors at
this time, and feel that every effort should be
| made 10 catch that verdict. The road was the
/ theme last month. and now there r,,,1er no
