TO De a great loss TO De oDIlged TO dow
out the furnace, though by the building
of large barns, roadmaking and all other
general hustling there is no cause for
fear of failure in The supply Of ores.
You, Johnson, may remember the
the creek running by the camp, between
the Olympia and Baltimore hills, A
little above, but south, spurs of two
hills come so close that less than 100
feet divides them where the creek me-
anders by. Above, or s%outherly of, this
place are several hundred acres OF low
land surrounded by the hills. BY build
ing a dam across, at the mentioned
point, we will not only have water
power for all machinery in reducing
work, hosting, drilling etc, but we
will have a water storage in the
shape of a lake that will be a sight of
beauty and comfort, to say nothing of
the fish, that will supply the larder of
the camp. / tell you, the mountain
trout we had for dinner today are fit for
the Gods to eat, and I don't wonder
that "man ur huse' are at this writing
out hunting for more. There are two
other creeks, which can easily be divert
ed into our dam, in ease the water sup
ply in our creek should prove insufficient
for the power required.
As you know, my hobby is agricult-
ture, with it's incidental branches of do.
nestle animals, fruit growing, trucking
etc. In the valley of Jack creek, with
the best of irrigation facilities. below,
but north of the camp, l saw some
splendid farming land, which could
easily be pre-empted and give US fresh
meat, milk, butter, vegetables, fruit and
other adjuncts of civilization, which
miners, as well as sailors, are always in
sore need of.
Another advantage of the Olympia
camp is that all the timber for mining,
building andtuel purposes are right at
camps possess.
All in all, as far as we are able to
judge and learn from inquiries. investi-
cations and examinations, | know Of nc
prospects that are more promising for a
money making proposition than just our
properties. But we must have money
for machinery, for wages and for all
general and necessary improvements in
order to avail ourselves of the fortunes
IN store for the stockholders in proper
ton to their respective Investments. so
that the quicker you men in Chicago
sell stock for $1,000 to $4,000, the near
est l can estimate from this distance,
the quicker you will become rich.
What pleases me very much is the
general verdict of the best citizens Of
Saratoga and men in camps, that Mr..
Lundgren has three distinct 9ualifiE-
tions. viz: that he is strictly honest.
that he never tells a lie and that he
rather represents the darker or harder
sides of the enterprise than the more
roseate ones. He may have other faults,
but the qualifications mentioned ought
to place us all, Jfficers as well as stock
holders, OF the company, at rest as to
any wrong intent on his side, consider
ing that he has the largest bunch Of
stock.
Well, l presume that l have now told
you the most essential things pertaining
to our present trip. The balance or de-
tails we will have to tell verbally
upon inquiry when we return. We
leave in the morning for Fit. Steele on
the stage and thence to Salt Lake City,
where we will arrive the following morn
ing. We would like to stop there and
in Denver each a day, at the same time
we seem to desire getting home and see
about business.
Yours truly,
p. w. NILSSON, President.
Having accompanied Mr.. Nilsson to
the mines, l find by reading the above,
that the statements made are correct
