/ and leaving the way open for us to
make arrangements 20 get his or rather
Ryan's assistance here
II is our opinion that Il win be best
FOR Miller TO be away while ne is there
| 80 that they cannot make the claim
that he interfered with their cAurcos.
Miller might run over TO Verna or tut
to salt Lake under which and under
| all circumstances all expenses win be
met by the crowd, However we leave
the question OF his staying on the
ground TO your judgment, only 90 not
forget that we must not put any OH
Ger IN the hole by anything we may
say or do, | know that IL win look bad
| TO have TO put II off and take a second
chance, but we must consider not only
! the matter Of securing the lease but
| getting 1t approved, at the anne time
! protect our good official friends
1t occurs to me that you may wish
| to use the word "Timms" quite little
| so | have entered It IN the cypher code
top Of page Sc after word jaundce,'
| Please make like entry I'm the code
| sent you yesterday so that in wiring
the word "jaundlce" win mean
| "Timms"
] see that the White Rivers are get
ting ugly and presume that they will
! not be willing TO talk lease TO anyone
until they are given some attention as
to their Colorado land. II occurs to me
that II might be a good idea to have
a contract ready with some good attOr-
ney 20 present at the same meeting
| Miller expects 20 capture and by thus
showing them that the department is
looking after that matter, get them In
better spirits to consider and fayorably
act on our matter.
Let me hear your opinion on that
matter, and If you agree with me, will
try and have It SO arranged There Is
no doubt but that Mai. Bryan win have
the sanction OF the department to Sc
cure the contract, and II you think best
viii have him send his contract on FOR
action at time.
As you have the cypher and code
guess YOU can pick out quite enough
to at least mystlfy the operators and
yet keep matters cleared up with us
and thereby keep IN much better touch
Address Col N. Mckay and recognize
all wires signed by him as the same as
signed by me. Sincerely,
| (Signed) HARPER
BE sure and have a good conference,
over all these matters with Myton anc
McAndrews so that no move Is mad,
without the clear understanding OF all
HARPER.
