Account
The witness was working a mining claim with a relative, operating a dredge. The relative called the witness to shore and pointed out a figure on a clear-cut hillside across the river near a previously visited stump, which the witness viewed with binoculars. The figure reportedly stood watching for about 20 minutes with only slight swaying before turning and walking over the ridge out of sight.
