Ammonites. Found one and Mr. Young sawed one for me and 3 smaller ones! I believe this is all that were seen. A number found fragmentary Dinosaur bones. Prof. Knight has 6 or 7 claims in the region, one of which shows bones 1000 ft. in length. His main man is paid $5 to $12 per month. He was not spend this year more than $200. I don't believe there will be difficulty to locate bone locality, but probably the best arrangement will be to go partnership with Knight. The expense need not exceed 750-1000 dollars per year. The bones when taken out of the ground are practically cleaned but require glueing together. The expense to secure a good Dinosaur collection need not be expensive. Saw Martin today of Gillistons party.
