Clearing iron out showed for gold the highest yet made, being more pronounced with Fenosulphate than $1500 rock have seen.

Immense ledge of it & slightest estimate from test at least $10.
Did not tell Bud as keeping for surprise when he is able to visit ledge.
Very monotonous since Bud has been sick.

Bud woke up & said Hell of a Fourth & turned over & went to sleep again with mosquito net over head to keep off flies.

Burros came in after dark, all but Cora & Colt, which arrived about midnight.

Daddy gone since yesterday morning leaving no trace.
July 5.
Miserable hot night.
