coins are equivalent to n quarter.

Not only are these "manillas" used
among the natives, but white traders
accept them as legal tender for goods

James McKinnon, according to the

at his ranch in Alberta that he had
been drowned and buried. Distressed
by the circumstances, in which he
foresaw a distribution of his estate and
his reduction to a condition Of power

halted before attaining his objective
by his feet freezing. For many weeks
he lay at a ranch house under the
care of strangers before he could re
