You understand, money is very close and hard to get and I dont want you to keep a man around the German Mill or Miner more than is absolutely necessary to carry on the business and take out ore enough to make this run. I will leave for California last next week and would like to hear from you in reply before I go. Write Danskin ----- new page (MSS4032_p005.jpg) JOHN GRANT. B. F. REDMAN. W. H. CHRISTIE.
