We camped one night on the Black Vermillion - an Indian triedto steal some of our company’s stock, when. the guard saw him and madethree shots at him, but missed him, We then traveled on to Freemont’sOrchard. Here we camped - June 17 - we were then in sight of the RockyMountains. Then with steady march in seven days reached the foot ofthe mountain at Clear Creek. The next day, four others and myselfstarted up the mountains into the mines - we reached them in two days.We had the ground for our bed and the rocks for our pillows. I foundit cold sleeping - the tops of the mountains beings covered with snow.I was at the Russell, Buck-Eye and Spanish diggings. The mines paywell. I saw from fifty cents to one dollar taken from the pan. Claimssell for two hundred to twenty thousand dollars. We prospected tillour provisions gave out. The day I left the mines, the Utah Indianskilled and scalped two white men, Today, two men shot themselves inthe valley. We have four claims. We were two months and fourteen dayson the road.
