quite a number Of miners were able 10
keep themselves in fresh meat, and that
of the choicest kind, without expcnding

some time past an abundance of vcni>

engaged in taking and curing them for
winter use. One man, it is said, can

pounds per day of these delicious fish.
If this is correct. the miners will need
far less supplies of meat ana ISL than
