Having been in the Far East forover 25 years (China, Mongolia, Siberia and Phil. Islands) I have lost track of most of my relatives. A miner's life is comparative to that of a gypsy. Due to this ailment, I turned down a 3 year contract in Bolivia. Don't think it possible to get transferred to San Diego, but, I shall try to get down there as soon as I am released from here. The Keays family in San Diego must be that of Thomas Albert Keays, a brother of my father Richard Keays, who was known to me as Albert and I shall never forget him as he gave me my first chew and I was sick! Albert had an argument with Dad and left. I later heard he joined the Army and gone to Honolulu and afterwards became a sergt. of police in San Diego. I also know he had 5 children, but I have never met or corresponded with any of them. Mrs. Hogan and Dad are first cousins. My youngest brother Robert went to the old country and looked some of our relatives, he met cousin Thomasina. There used to be ??????Joshua Keays in Bakersfield, Calif., ??????? but I don't know any of them. Dad's sister, Aunt Jane, came to visit us in Mexico when I was very young. Aunt Charlotte, another sister of Dad's, I can't ever remember meeting. I was born in El Paso, Texas. There were a total of 4 boys and 4 girls. My oldest sister died in 1922, my oldest brother is in Cleveland,Ohio, Richard Keays 3rd, George C. Keays is accountant of Inland Steel in Dayton, Ohio, Dorothy Eliz. Keays Ringer a school teacher in Monroe, MI, Mary Jane Keays is in New York and my youngest sister is in Cleveland Ohio married to an engineer ????????. That's the works. Many thanks for the invitation, I certainly hope to be able to drop out your way. With kindest regards to you andyours, H.C. Keays.

This exceedingly efficient officer ordered out a party of police, and having proceeded to a place close at hand, he was convicted of the truth of his information. He then cautiously followed the route indicated to him, alld after travelling for some time he came to a more remote part of the mountain: where the men were not long in discovering over 400 gallons of wash, quite ready for distillation. The owner, however, was apprized of the visit, and had left with the still and worm before the police came upon him. The wash, which it is calculated would produce at least 80 gallons of spirits, was thrown into a bog-hole.
