large branched tunnel, not cold, no bats in it but
might be good summer roost or night-roost.
After lunch went to [illegible] Red Elephant
Mine for first time. Both shafts were full of
water. Several old houses but not good roads.
Then went to Harrison Mine. The only [illegible]
found were two in a gulch well down below the
old mill. Both were small [illegible] (adits) but
are 3 and the other 2 Cory; one of each was
a barred one from Manhattan Mines.
Mary looked in the two Red Mine tunnels
above the road and I looked in the one below the
road. The entrance to this one had caved-in,
leaving a just-enterable slit, but the cave-in
had [illegible] dammed up the little stream that used
to come out of it so that it is now waist-deep
in water. Home about 10 p.m. All bats were
barbed & released except 1 Harrison Mine bat
that escaped without barbing.
Tilden Park, Contra Costa Co., Calif.
