estimated our ability, so we were
glad to make camp at cabin ten
miles away from our starting
point. Here we had a good feed,
we K | e d a grou e,
so we h d grouse, + e d
ham and potatoes, coffee, tea, and
plenty of bread and butter. SO
after eating and resting up we felt
fine, and retired on a beautiful
Davenport. 1t was made of nice
spruce logs with the hard side up
nice tomato can sofa pillows to
rest our weary brains on. Sleep,
we'll never had a feather bed that
felt better than the spruce trees
and tin can did that night. SO we
got up early and went into the
mining camp 4 miles away at s
o'clock. This camp is on the
mountain side away above the
timber line, We found four men
there prospecting. We knew
h m and they were just
as glad to see us as we were to see
them. They quit work and came
down to our cabin, a log cabin
about 10x10 feet square. We had a
good old miners dinner Of boiled
ham, beans, evaporated potatoes,
and rice, hurry up" biscuits,
coffee, sugar, condensed milk, but
ter aud for desert we would stick
our knives in the logs and split
out tooth pick. Well, | never
ate so much in my life at one meal.
1t beat the best turkey dinner
ever had. We stayed there three
days looking around, and then
started on our return journey,
which was the same over only we
reached our canoe in a little les
than , days, as it is much easier
pushing" down hill.
When we got to our canoe Tn,
man we left there had killed Il biz
brown bear. SO we had feed o
bear meat, but it was not good, 81
we brought home the skin. On on
journey through the woods we say
all kinds of bear signs, but did no
get our" lamp" on one, we though
sure we would have the oppOrtu
nifty of arguing the question who
had the best right to the trail, bu
we got fooled. After eating an,
resting we took our canoe at 60
