postcards

First let me apologize for not posting in a week.  Things have been a bit crazy.

So without further ado a post card.

Mt. Shasta no99 copyright 1907 by C.R. Miller

Florence Bishop, Oak Park Cal.

Text of card:
Another scene of Mt. Shasta this lake is located some 20 miles north of the mountain. There are quite a number of summer flowers around here. Mrs. Hearst, mother of Mr. Hearst who has so many news papers in this country has a castle on the McCloud river 8 miles below town. I was down to see it last Monday. It stands 6 stories high and made of stone. It is claimed it cost 150 thousand dollars to build and finish it.
