Here we are In the best of health within

there before spring. The cold weather
held off and we got in further than we
had expected. Our intention now is to

30 miles down the Yukon River from this
| trading post, and hunt. for the market
and also do a little prospecting There is
| good hunting in this neiglrborhood, the
Indians having just brought in Is caribou
as the result of their first winter hunt.
The game is about 80 or 40 mites back,
however. and asleep. as the Indians say.
