August 18 and 19, 1872.—It is a beautiful morning. Walked about one mile and a quarter to Sister Bental’s. She welcomed us heartily. Sister Stocker brought me specimens [of ore]. In returning home the horses balked, and we were obliged to walk miles. Before us were high mountains. Miners’ huts were built upon the high mountains, upon the sides of the mountains, and in the gulches. Mr. Bental gave me many specimens of ore. 6MS 4, 1872. LASW 73.1
