New York,
October 8, 1906.

My dear Muir:

I wonder if you know, or can find out, anything about the Trinity mine (Copper) in Shasta County. A friend of mine who, on strong recommendation of it has invested in it wishes "to know, you know." It is reported that they have staked out $4,000,000 worth of ore, and as copper is higher now than for forty years, this looks favorable. Do you know anybody up there who can tell you the condition and prospects, and something about the management?
You may remember an editorial I wrote in the Century eighteen …
