The return to New York, Dec. 12, of Dr. Rudolph Anderson, biologist and second in command of the Stef- ansson.Anderson Expedition sent to the Arctic in the interests of the American Museum of Natural His tory and the Canadian Geological Survey, marked the end of nearly four years and half of observation and exploration undertaken by him and vilhjalmur Stefansson.
 It was Dr. Anderson's job to inves- tigate the conditions of animal life in the region of Coronation Gulf, a part of the body of water separating Victoria Island from the Mackenzie territory of the mainland In his col lection of 1000 specimens, which is now on it's way to New York. from San Francisco, are the skins and skel- etons of many rare animals and birds, of which the nineteen Barren Land bears are perhaps the most valuable. The bird collection inclueds specimens of the whistling swan, black brant, Hutchin's goose, northern and red pha- larope, snowflake, Lapland longspur, parasitic, jaeger, red-throated loon, and willow ptarmigan, all from the vi- cinity of Colvine Delta.
 Dr. Anderson said that the expedi- tion had collected enough scientific data of value to make is well worth the four years and half spent out of reach o' civilization.
 "We covered nearly the entire coast from CoHine river to Coronation Gulf" said Dr. Anderson, making several trips inland along the Mac kenzie, Horton and Dease rivers, and finding in some regions, hitherto marked uninhabited, tribes of Eski- mos that had never before seen al white man. Among the so-called blond Eskimos we found copper need les in use instead of bone ones and most of their utensils were made of copper also. The supply of this met al is abundant in this region, a great deal of it called copper float, being on the surface and easily recognized, of course the difficulty in making any use of this storehouse of riches lies in the fact that there is no transporta. ton to it.
 Poor Marksmen.
 "These Esklmos still use spears and bows and arrows to kill game for food with, and they are amazlngly poor marksmen A group of them shot more than twenty arrows at Q single ptarmigan one day, before they killed 1t. Their implements are Of the most primitive variety.
 "There is an immense territory south of the Endicott Mountains anG north of the Yukon which the prospectors have not yet reached ex cept in a few places. The RamDari House and Fort Yukon Indians dG not range so far north except in sum mer, and the Eskimo seldom cross the mountains.

just sat in the game and was not
aware Of the arrangement, and began
to wrangie with him over the pay
ment of the nickel. Finally one re-
marked to the other that his knife
is 'jes' s'long as youah's," and soon
after that the carving of dark meat
began.
Daniel got one cheek laid open to
the bone, was slashed on one arm,
cut over the eye and had an incision
upon his neck.
