Stories of Jeff being a mighty
hunter have never been exagger-
ated in fact, his mountaineering
ing ability has probably never
been equaled unless by one OF
those spry young Rock Mountain
goats. Apparently tireless, the big
fellow has tramped for days at
time without showing more than a
healthy fatigue at resting time. A
famous Indian hunter over in Ari-
iona who was noted throughout
the territory for his marvellous
staying ability, would not believe
that Jeff was an ordinary human
being after attempting to lead
Jeff's party for week through
some of the Arizona game trails.
