Title	Mining operations depicted
Creator	Chandler, N. A. (1818-1880)
Description	Chandler writes that he has received Jane’s letters from October and November, which were miscarried to Omega. He also writes that “the Mormons have been moving for Salt Lake and sell out cheap.” He predicts that “Uncle Sam will have a brush with the Saints soon” and writes that several men are ready to go to Salt Lake to “get a widow out there as the Mormons have more than their share.” Chandler describes the mining process of sluicing and washing gravel. Chandler also writes about a wedding the previous week between a 14 year old “little girl” and a 45 year old man. Notations in pencil on the first page at the top read: “Mining operations depicted, tunnel and sluice method described. ‘We expect Uncle Sam will have a brush with the Saints (Mormons) soon.” Pencil marks highlight certain parts of the text pertaining to the title.
