Journal Entry

July 16, 1895 ~ Tuesday

16th Most of the passengers are out
watching the unloading of the vessels.
The custom house officers detected
several cases of smuggled liquor. Most
of the passengers went on shore to
visit the town. I went over considerable
of the town, but found it hard work
to walk. I wrote a note to Asahel,
while Blanche wrote to Naomi. We
went through the greatest stamp mill
in the world; 240 stamps not more than
3 to $5.00 a ton. The noise was so great
that no one could hear a word spoken
I brought home a piece of the ore that
they work. The weather was a little
rough a part of the day.

Letter from George Teasdale, 16 July 1895

The way is opening up for us to ob- tain plenty of land and water, and a mar- ket for all our surplus grain, vegetables &c Of course it is not all so pleasant. We have
