Tint portion of the abavu ataerlion which aiya thai my ton hid taken a claim in Itogue River valley la correct, but I never had a claim there myaelf, nor have I overlaid claim to an) piece nf land in the Rogue Rriver country any where; but on lha contrary I then owned a claim in Lart Couaiy upon which I realJod moat of th time attar leaving Portland In February lait, until about the 1 0th of October, when I etirted lor the mln near Rngtie River.

After acllling thla biialnea. and being pleated with that part of the valley, I looked aome farther aboul the country, and made up my mind to settle In it. My ton at this time mid a claim, built a heus upon it, and miU olher improve. menu prepintory to miking a firm. remained and asslttsd him seme in com. mencing his Improvements. At the same lime his Improvements were going on, I built for myself a house, on what is called the "gold bar," intending to devoto my attention for a llm 10 mining or trading at thai point j I also with a view to th promotion of good feeling and harmony between th white and Indians, about this time built a hous tor the war chief 'Sam,' upon Iba condition that ha should not permit lb Indians lo molest In any manner th whites In that section, or thos travelling through it; and also that he should prevent the olher Indiana from burning olT lha grasa In that vicinity. There was no other condition of any man. tier or kind attached lo this transscllon ; and so far from my. son hiving anything to do in building this house for this chief, he was only angiiged in assisting me to fulfill my own engagements, whloh was no mora than olhirs there also dona ; among whom was Mr. Dean, who was employed lo bring my son Into this valley he, Mr. Dean, and all other In the vicinity being familiar with the purpose for which ft waa being built, and every one In the neighborhood knowing to lha circumstance of my building the house for the chief, highly approved of the idea, and thought ll would be of muuli service In promoting good feeling between all partial. Among thos thus approving, waa the gentleman last named, and the Indian Agent himself. With regard to the aeoond assertion, quoted above from this letter, it is entire ly unfounded, ao far as I am concerned, and I have no knowledge of my sen being engaged in any aueh transaction ; but If lie has, a I aald before, he is re.nonstblc to th tribunals of hla country.
