Several y.'jSneses who saw and talked to Butler arSti Burgees while out prospecting, positively klentiik-d the bodyas that of Burgess by the eiothing and peculiar formation of the teeth. One witness prodr.rvd a book given him by Butkr and ii.scribed Frank B. Harwood. A road maintenance-man talking to Butler said he would not find gold at the place they were prospecting, whereupon ho grew indignant and said he knew better. While Butler was absent Burgess asked the man not to take any notice of Butler ; he was a queer fellow and did say much but thought a lot.
