for you to feel you are somehow responsible for the symbols I've found thus far, (through a lot of grinding physical labor and mental agonizing) and perhaps smug of you to suggest or hint you know exactly what I need to do next. Nothing. Nothing, is found yet, and will not be without a lot more similar labor of the mind, soul, and body.

When you suggested there was a mine somewhere there, (probably half a mile away, I think you said) you were restating what I already firmly believed, which I appreciate, though it wasn't much help and hardly saved any labor. I confess I didn't have a clue whether it was half a mile or a mile, or 30 yards, and still don't.

If you think you know something, now's the time to spell it out for this dense old country boy, if you want some acknowledgement. I'm not proud, and I'll gladly give it.

Meanwhile, I think a conversation with a geologist in Albuquerque tonight might have turned the tables on the whole thing, and he DID spell things out. If he's right, he owns a piece of nothing right now, but something if it contributes to it becoming a reality.

I'm not trying to be argumentative, Tom, but I think you and I aren't seeing your contributions in precisely the same light.

regards, Jack
