MACMASTER & MACMASTER MINING STOCK BROKERS P.O. BOX 1063 GOLDFIELD, NEV. -2 - There is a strike on here now. May be that it will be settled in a few days and it may go for a long time. I have got about enough cash now to take me to California. I intend to keep that much ahead now. I could imagine how that frosty morning looked. You don't see frost on trees out here. C. I am glad to have Condon here. He makes it more like home. He is in the Office often & I get to talk with him. Everything is pretty quiet just now on account of the strike. Hurry got a job in the Post Office. a pretty good job. Jeff is working in the Grocery at about $6 a day. They are both making it O.K. Williams had a light touch of Pneumonia. He was not very bad at any time, was only in bed one day. Saw John this evening. He was O.K. I am feeling fine myself.
