Remember what I posted previously - Sept is going to be a bad month for one of them. 

Now you do have me curious!--This report is Sept. 4th.----Whatever it is it's going to happen soon.

   This morning Jacob and me took the truck into town for supplies. I told Will and John to stay at camp and we’d get some mining started after lunch. When we got to the general store there was a ruckus going on. It looked like someone had tried to run out of the store without paying for their goods. The guy was being held down by several people while they waited on the deputy. It seems like the town folks are dealing with rif raf just like we are up at the mine. We loaded up our supplies and were getting ready to go when one of the deputies we had dealt with approached us. He asked how we were fairing on the mountain and if we had had any trouble. I told him we were doing fine with no problems. I gave Jacob a wink and we got in the truck and headed back to the claims. 

   After lunch we got the pumps going and me and John did some digging and Jacob and Will helped with the cleaning and weigh. We must have gotten into some good ground and ended up with 3 ounces which we were not expecting. It turned out to be a good day for us. The crew had a fresh supply of Lucky’s and I was well stocked up on Bushmills. I gave Jack his supply along with his gold every day. We owed him plenty.

If I had to guess where they hid their gold, would be in the region of where they pooped. Easy to slip off each day and dump a load.

Hello everyone. I will be posting quite a few journal entries throughout the day & evening. There is a significant event coming and a clue was given in one of Jed's entries. The event was not known to him at the time of his entry but it will prove to be prophetic.

   Things have been real quiet here since Sarge and Ben left. It doesn’t seem like anyone is coming back up here but we are always on alert. We are starting to put a bit of a dent into the gravels in the pit. There’s not much digging until we hit country and we are moving the tom quite often so we can shovel directly onto the grizzly. We make good time with two men working in there. We haven’t had any problems with our pumps and the water supply is good. It’s steady work that pays us well and we are glad to have it. I can’t imagine myself ever working for someone again and already have more gold than I could ever have imagined.There is probably enough gold to be had on my claims to keep a small crew busy for many years. So we are pushing on here and every ounce of gold makes us more secure.

   The digging continues to be the same. John and me are missing the presence of Whiskey Jack to break the monotony of the daily routine. We get our work done without fail. Today saw another 2 ounces of gold.

Something to do with "no trouble on the mountain"?
