Show Cardon Jones #126 father was F.I. Jones. One was English and the other was Danish. DE: And then, well, how did you, you said earlier that you had been a rancher most of your life. How did you get interested in prospecting? CJ: Never was very interested in it and one of my friends, J. Wiley Redd come to me one morning and he says, "I believe I know where there's some copper." He says, John Wetherell, an oldtimer from down at the Wetherell Inn in Kayente told him that he had been in Red Canyon and had seen some copper signs and he said, "I think there's another outfit going down in there tomorrow." And he said, "I've got some horses out West here and I'll meet you down at Red House tonight." So I got a pickup, went down and met him there in the daylight, and we took off the next morning. He was there with his horses and we rode down in Red Canyon and staked those claims he referred to. SS: That's the Joe Bishop and the Posey and the Scott. CJ: Scottie Blathmay. ss: Did you name those? CJ: Yes, Wiley did, Wiley was the one that was the scribe I guess you'd call him, filled out the papers. DE: Did he have any particular reasons for those names? CJ: No, I don't think so. Those names were of old time 2 |
