Christie took a load of [illegible] & bedding & went up to Friday Gulch to work on the Shakopee mine[1. According to the Montana Department of Environmental Quality, the Shakopee is “located in the northwest quarter of section 4, T11N, R6 W, the mine was apparently worked with the Towsley mine and was located to the east of the Earthquake mine. The Shakopee was developed by a 50 foot incline shaft with a drift on the bottom. The ore shoot worked on the mine varied in thickness from one to six feet. No production figures are available (McClernan 1983).”].  Ralph Williams went down around the Penobscot way.  The road thro the timber was good, little snow.
