Mrs Sadie B.George Los Angeles,Cal. St.Thomas,Nevada May 5th,1924 Dear MadamJ-Just to say we have the assessment work under way and getting along Q.K.,and hope to be through with ±t about June 1st,or very shortley thereafter. Would like to have the balance of your portion by the 15th,if you can get it forward by that t ime. The total cost of the work is as follows. 13 claims at $100 per claim,actual work,-- $1300.00 Transporting equipment tools and hands from valley to camp and back and various camp moves two days $ $8 per day for man and team,total 16'.00 Recording certificates of labor on 13 claim; 6'. 50 Total - - - - - | One eight of $1322.50, 1 Credit by———— — - Balance due - - - - - - s oo, 9T o o o R#V JL '9 N/ fmj f ‘..jIU $165.31- | 80,00 | your portion Heretofore i have done the work of getting things together russelling men getting them to camp,moving them about and paid for the recording of certificates of labor at my own expense- and only taxed you the one eight of the work actualley done on the claims. But feel that hereafter I am not treating myself farley if I do not let eacfobear their full proportion,which you \rould of course preferr to do. chem ™ fromH,Hjust Nothing came of Timmons Stewarts efforts and still scolding about haveing dieoption taken at a time,as |hey alledge,when their deal is prac^icalley can show the money of a substantial! 3urn down. consumated. yteXl them that when they can secure another option c 3m to cet any where with the process people, it " considerable time before at all,and dont know who Cannot is a matter of ^dickerin'? or deal will come with Wright else may desire to purchase. It is my opinion,that before Wright will come to a deal under any process I supply him with he will take time to see if he cannot duplicate the process and have one of his own along the same line. This is supposition on my part,and may not be right,but I seem to get that,perhaps subconeiously,as beinr his attitude. So if The Timmons people will plank down the money box ore anything else comes US will accent. Truly yours St .Tic B ia s , Nevada May 21st,1924 Mrs Sadie B,George Los Angeles,Cal. Dear Madam I * | T1„lis wil1 acknowledg receipt of your iette r with check i or «^85 enclosed. Have not gotten as far:;iwith the work as I could wish, Have had a lot of corrispondance in connection^ with the property that has operated to tale me a way from the work, and it wxll now surley he hot wether for doing it Right now the property is not tyed up,hut ofthe number who are. wrixxng ab out it,there are livery likley prospects, One a straight out purchase,under which we would get a considerable sum down,and I B other,a party with what seems an effective nrocess,who desire to bring the property and proces together and then lease hoath to' capital, under a royalty. If the first, it will he a "very gord sale, tJtih^?onS1?'e^able B immediatley, if the latter,!!1}1 elap? hex ore we get anything, hut under which owoe nwsiildle raebvleen tutianlel ev get very large, ana continued-returns,besides leaving the title to t lie proper by m us. Both seem on the'edgdof dealing, ureferr the royalty plan,if they will deal immediatley,that is within a wwfc or twcoo,mxei lantoetr .we will deal with the cash offer down,with more to Have never had another word from Wright, and not anything from Judge Toland for a long time, Did not answer my last letter in which 1 enclosed him a copy of Richards patented process for retin_>.ng the mgnesite withfeea water ,or with salt water. Therefore I suppose Wright is a ||| one^and/will have had the expense of my trip to Los Angeles for nothing,however it will adcpnly $75 more to the already large sum I am out in one way and another. It is a great life,yes,providing p u do not weaken. Very truly your m
