Incline water shaft does not work. Prospected & found 8 ledges. Bud found none. June 11. After breakfast fixed up shack--shelves, benches, tools, etc. Cleaned guns. Bud dressed Daddy's back which is much better. Strong gold in test of ledge, I found below creek. Took more specimens to sample. Cora comes in with a little black colt newly born. Proud as a bull pup with two tails. Monte & Pete did not come in so we went by lantern light a mile or so down the wash & found them headed this way & snake them in to drink about 80 gallons of water apiece. Daddy tied up and howling like a demon all the while. Bud took a bath. June 12. Bud got out and got breakfast again. Then started off on Pete to hunt trail that makes short cut 18 miles to Bend.
