me Iormer than the coast tfi pes spoaea of. An incident told me illustrates it better than any general description. Two miners of the Yukon valley had married squaws, one (Smith?) having secured his bride from the coast, the others (Jones ??) sweetheart having been an inland maiden. Their sum- mer's work over Smith and Jones start ed out together in two boats, up the river, to reach the coast. My informant passed them where there was good tracking and in the first boat was Mrs. Smith steering and Smith hay ing ahOld the tracking rope tugging along the bank. while just behind was Jones stretched out steering bis craft and Mrs. Jones playing the part of the tow-path mule. Next day four rafts fOated out of the Pelly and the parties camped about mile below us. There were fifteen to twenty in the whole party and our prospects looked more hospita able-like and less hospital-like than they had. gave them a day for reflection after explaining my plan. An idea that has the contract to pierce an Indians cranium, not only has to get through a thick skull and tough hide, but also dense thicket of hair, so it must be given time unless shot in with rifle. A few others came in from day to day. but five packers was the limit could reach, and all of these had chain cables and steam wlndlasses attached to their promises Worst of all, as tests proved, these weddings could not be depended on for over 60 pounds each. It was mournfully evident the white men would have to face the music If we ever expected to make a start. A map maker, photographer or chronicler, etc, is more than handicapped who has to pack and attend to these duties while keeping along with lot of rac- ing savages who have no more idea of these than they have of cosmology.
 Independence day came on the Fourth of July this year and l was greatly surprised to find the savages had anticipated and were longing to eel ebrate it. 1 might have expected it in "Sam" who came from the Alaskan side, but where the others caught it the good Lord only knows. Here on the Queens sacred soil the very savages were turning themselves inside out celebrating another country's separa- tion from their sovereign, while in- quiries showed that Her Majesty's birthday was unknown to them.
 l think the Indians desire to cele- brate was based on an omnipresent eagerness to burn gunpowder and make noise, and that the patriotism in it. like the result of the explosions, was all smoke. Guns and pistols were bang ing away at frequent intervals, and in the evening several tough stumps and logs were blown up in lieu of a nation al salute. l noticed one instance of the economy of physical exertion that rather impressed me.
