28. I started at day light with two teams & drove over the summit to
Brother Gates nooned, then drove to Allens coal bed & spent the night 45 miles
I went into the coal bed to see how they dig their coal. it was a danger-
ous business. I slep during the night on some hay under a shed they had
taken out of the mine during the night about 30 tons of coal & in the
^29^ morning when it came my turn to have my waggons loaded they stoped
work & we waited till 3 oclok in the Afternoon before our two waggons
were loaded. we then started on our return home. I got set in a creek
& had to get a team to draw me out. it soon began to rain & we drove
10 miles in the storm & stoped for the night at Brother Brazees.
