1. HLC: You will have before you the entity Mr. [1561], present in this room, and his mental and material affairs, especially as related to information given him in his Life Reading thru this channel regarding mining operations. There seemed indications that mining operations in the Egyptian period made possible extension of activities now represented in the study and presentation of the work of Edgar Cayce. Voluntary information was given on the "Lost Sheep" mine in subsequent information thru this channel. Considering the conditions surrounding this entity, his attitude and development, what steps can he take toward following up these indications and suggestions to bring the greatest good to all concerned? You will answer the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the entity, Mr. [1561], his qualifications and activities.
3. In considering such developments or activities, these must ever be qualities or characteristics that are a part of the individual entity here. As has been indicated, there are conditions in which associations and experiences may bring - again - those activities that were a part of the developments through a period in which there were the needs for such actions, in the development of forces arising from nature's storehouse, nature's activities. And these may be used, then, in meeting the needs of individuals and groups, for the furthering of ideas and ideals that were a portion of the experience of the peoples and associates of the entity through that sojourn.
4. As to the application of same for conditions in the present - these as we find, as has been suggested, are a channel through which such relations may be established. As to what would be done with such, as to the manner in which same would be used - this should be in conjunction with that which has been and is the present material, mental and
1561-11 Page 2
physical development of the entity.
5. In relationship to that lode indicated, by the name given through these channels - this as we find has NOT as yet been located; it being still a portion of government controlled or owned properties in those areas given.
6. Owing to some connections and associations these, then, offer a channel, an outlet through which the entity, with physical investigation, might induce or bring about those activities in which there may be a great development in the metals, or ores, that are the basic channels for activity at this present time.
7. As to specific locations - we would find this from that railroad crossing just below the state line, or just east of the state line, about sixty-three miles toward the northwest by west from that station, see?
8. (Q) What is the name of the station? (A) Better go, look and see! It's here; at the entrance, or almost upon the border of the state. We will find this here, see - the Indian name is not the same, and that's the one directing here. Scout? No, it isn't, but it's the meaning of the same - Discount? Discout? It would be found here; observe where the railroad crosses.
9. (Q) When should the physical location of this be attempted? (A) Whenever conditions or circumstances are such that it gives the entity the opportunity for such exploration.
10. (Q) Is the land open for location? (A) Just as indicated, it is a portion of the government property, and is open for location.
11. (Q) What is the strike, depth, length and average width of the vein? (A) It varies somewhat, and is in this canyon - as indicated, as the very name would indicate, being a ledge in which sheep have pastured, of course, and in which there are indications of such having happened in same. It is almost at the opening, where some waterfalls have been. There it may be indicated. It is extending in water and downward some four and a half feet in one direction, some twelve in the other, and extends some two hundred feet to two hundred and forty-six feet in water; and increasing its breadth, as well as its width, in the slope downward.
12. (Q) Are the metals free and easily milled, or is the ore complex and requiring shipment to smelter? (A) The metals would be easily smelted, even here on the grounds - for they are close to where such might be prepared for same.
1561-11 Page 3
13. (Q) Do values maintain in depth? (A) Values as we find will be rather as a unit, and will run much more than the ordinary.
14. (Q) Is there sufficient water for milling and domestic purposes? (A) As indicated, this is a part of the territory where there has been an overflow. Hence the indications are very close, without very much machinery for the preparation of same, for plenty of water and for the activities of all natures in this direction.
15. (Q) Are there any particular mining, milling, operating or shipping problems? (A) Only the distance as indicated, as to how far from the outlets; some sixty odd miles, see?
16. (Q) Can any more definite description of the location be given at this time? (A) This is in the directions here as indicated.
17. (Q) Is this railroad crossing at the state line in the south or the north? (A) It's near the middle, because it crosses - of course - from the north towards the south. The railroad runs northeast, southwest.
18. (Q) What is the name of the railroad? (A) You'll find it here, as it crosses into this portion of Arizona.
19. (Q) Is it the Santa Fe or the Southern Pacific, crossing into Arizona? (A) It's the Santa Fe; and it is the northernmost one, not the southernmost one here.
20. (Q) Can approximate monthly or yearly distributable earnings be estimated and given? (A) Well, this would depend - of course - upon the amount of the machinery used, for not only the claiming of the ore but the manner in which it would be handled when operations were begun; but it should be many MILLIONS a year!
21. (Q) What would be the value of the ore per ton, approximately? (A) This, of course, will depend upon the manner in which it is handled, and how, but this will be thousands of dollars for a ton of this nature here!
22. (Q) Will a market for silver ore continue? (A) A market will continue.
23. (Q) Is this a "grass root" proposition enabling immediate shipment and sale of ore as mined or possibly sorted, that subsequent equipment and operating costs be derived from such initial shipments? (A) With the testing of the grade of the ore here, ALONE, sufficient capital may be EASILY procured for operations. For it is GOOD!
1561-11 Page 4
24. (Q) The direction in miles as given - from what point is this taken? (A) The town here on the border, as indicated.
25. (Q) Now, regarding the Montana situation, [See 1561-8, on 11/7/39], involving mining properties of Mr. [1561]: Attempting to follow suggestions given, I consulted with a lawyer "Corette" in Butte, Montana, last November. Mr. Timothy Nolan took great exception and refused to further discuss the matter. Payments to me, in accordance with agreements, then ceased and have not since been resumed. I felt that had I started legal action I would merely precipitate a legal entanglement whereby none involved would receive anything from the properties henceforth. Can this matter be clarified, peacefully or otherwise? (A) As we find, there will be the needs of some precipitation, either by agreements or by the asking or seeking for an accounting of the shipments and of all operations as have been carried on there. These as we find may be satisfied, or an equitable agreement reached, if there is the consultation or the getting together and discussing it in an amicable way and manner.
26. (Q) Will general conditions in the United States and in Montana in the subsequent one, two or three years tend to interrupt this mining operation? If so, will it be resumed and when? (A) Rather the tendencies will be for increased activity, rather than interruption.
27. (Q) Can it be told whether payments to me will be resumed and when? (A) This will depend, and must depend upon activities of the entity in relationships to those who have the affairs in hand.
28. (Q) I was advised to seek the assistance of a lawyer - (A) As we find, it will still be necessary in order to understand and to know the situations regarding the law respecting same. This will not necessarily have to be used, depending upon the men and the agreements as may be reached with same. But to know what the rights ARE under the provisions of contract, the provisions of activity, MUST necessarily be a part of the procedure or the activity of the entity; and for this reason such was advised. The necessity still exists.
29. (Q) As I am unable to go to Montana, should I make a demand that payments be resumed? (A) Not through the lawyer, but through self - in conjunction with those holding or conducting the affairs;
1561-11 Page 5
and then if it is necessary later, it will be necessary to be upon the ground. But the best would be the consultation or agreements one with another, and the meeting and talking of it over.
30. (Q) The lawyer should not be brought into it except for information? (A) As indicated, know the law and the rights, and keep within same, without bringing about too many entanglements unless same becomes necessary.
31. (Q) Can these results be obtained by correspondence? (A) Not as good, as we find, as if there were personal visitation.
32. (Q) Will it be possible, and when would be the best time, for me to go out there? (A) As we find, by May or June should be the best time, and it should be made possible by that period.
33. (Q) General questions: There is an important personal message [from the "Little Prophet", Faith Hope Charity Harding?] to be delivered to President Roosevelt. Should I be designated as the messenger, and if so will I be enabled to deliver such message after conference with Secretary Henry A. Wallace, or through some other who might arrange delivery or a personal meeting between Roosevelt and myself? (A) If it is of such importance and of that nature, it will work itself so that this would be not only possible but there will be made a means for the delivery of such.
34. (Q) Would it be wise for me to act as the messenger for this? (A) This as we find is not altogether wise, but advising with Wallace may clarify the situation for the entity, as to whether it would be best for the self or through other channels.
35. (Q) Will it be possible for me to meet and to see Wallace regarding this matter? (A) It will be possible to see Wallace. As to how much interest or sympathy may be aroused is still a question, for it will depend upon Wallace's reaction to same.
36. (Q) Two friends are attempting with and through me to acquire a few hundred acres of agricultural land in our Southeast - this for the residence and the raising of foods - corn, vegetables, etc., such as would be best for a sustenance farm where the residents could produce sufficient to relatively "live off the farm." Can helpful suggestions be given in this direction as to practicability, location, etc. The few joining would have a practical farmer and agriculturist to plant and harvest. This to be a retreat for the ones wishing to get away from cities and a haven in case of necessity. (A) This is a very practical idea, as indicated, for the
1561-11 Page 6
activities in these directions. As to locations, this should be determined by the farmer or agriculturist considering such, according to the character of products desired to be produced. If these are to be of such natures as to be practical sustaining factors in the lives of individuals or of a group, then it should be in such states where all forms of vegetables, fruits and the like are produced, as well as stockraising which should be a part of the project. For these should be then in those fields that are well-rounded and that cover many seasons, or where there are the varied seasonal vegetables, fruits, stock and the like. And as we find, such may be had in various sections at varied prices, and will form then a part of whatever is the character of such an undertaking. Of course, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina or the like will offer the better localities, and as far as the price is concerned they come in the same order as indicated as to their location; and these as we find then would be chosen by those who were adapting themselves to, or who are capable of judging such lands.
37. (Q) Am I qualified to act as a scout in looking for such areas? (A) With the advice of the agriculturist, yes; and with the advice of those who would consider it as a place or retreat, or as adaptable for being fitted for the use of individuals for such a purpose, as well as a base or source of supply. For, we see that this may be extended into such an undertaking that there will be a supplying to many individuals of of homes, firesides, and also means of sustenance and life itself for many, many individuals. This can be extended in those ways where MANY of the great excesses of loss to individuals or groups can be eliminated, if these plans from the producer to the consumer were carried on in just such a group or aim; for production, delivery, distribution.
