[[A vertical line runs along the length of the page next to the edge of paper]] Cut [[underline]] 217 [[/underline]] The 2nd cut is the longer one. It measures almost 400 yds. in length, & is made across a long ridge, so that both sides are about the same. The west side is a cleaner cut, however, and most of the work was done in that side.
