FRASER AGENCY Indian Office, New Westminster, B.C., 6 July 1895 Yale. James, Esq. Indian Chief Dear Sir, Yours of 26th [Just?] to hand enclosing Tax receipt which I herewith return. All you have to do is to take the receipt to Mr. Dodd Government Agent at Yale and he will return you $3.00 It was a mistake to have collected the money from you in the first place.

Referring to Ned Stout's mining claim fronting on the Indian Reserve a short distance east of Yale. I have made inquiry and find that he can mine between high and low-water mark, and that nothing can be done to prevent him. So that there is nothing else to be done only let him go ahead. At any rate I don't think it will do the Reserve any threat, and it may do good by getting plenty of water on the Reserve so that anything good will. besides some of your people might get work helping to build flume and also to mine when the work commences. All things considered it will do you more good than harm. Hoping you are quite well I remain,

Yours very truly, Frank DelRue, Indian Agent
