six months Of fruitless toll the money
was all gone. and word was sent to the
four that no more aid could be sent

on what was intended 20 be their last
evening there. one Edwin Bray saw

the fifteen members OF the syndicate
Upon these shares they raised money

crushing OF 200 tons OF quartz. which
yielded eight ounces Of gold TO the
