times the writer has ever experienced.
Leaving Underwood Landing Friday
morning, the Sd, at O'Clock, with a
ton of supplies for the Underwood and
Dark mines, we arrived at the Husum
post office at noon, rested an hour, then
started on the road, arriving at the
store of the Chapman brothers at in
the evening, so tired we hardly knew
what to do with ourselves. We struck
camp near what is called Trout creek.
After supper several jolly people from
the store came over to our camp and
we sang songs for an hour or more.
Next morning, after hearty breakfast
cooked by a camp fire, we made our
selves comfortable and stayed in camp
all day and rested, not caring to go out
to the picnic. In the afternoon we at
tended the ball given in the new store
built by Mr.. Peets. We danced until
supper time, then after o'clock we re-,
turned to the ball and danced until 2
IN the morning, when we returned to
our camp and were soon lost to tile
world in deep slumber. Sunday morn
ing we all took trip to the ice cave,
but 1t was so cool we did not enjoy our
trip as we would had it been warmer
day. Returning to camp We found
vii. Underwood and his friend Henry
Weaver. Then came the process Of
cooking dinner. Everybody turned
out to help make dinner, as all were
very hungry. The afternoon and
evening were spent with music on "a
violin and mouth harp, all bands and
the cook taking turns about playing
either the harp or violin. All seemed
to have enjoyed the evening and left
for their resting places between 10 and
il o'clock. Monday morning we left
