WOLF HUNTERS BROT TROPHIES
 TO FAIRBANKS

Joe Chesna and Andy Botalla, mining men and hunters of the Big Cinema country, arrived ill Fairbanks recently bringing with them the pelts of the wolves which they lately shot
 Nine large belts. two of the blue variety, one of the black and six of the grey or timber, comprise the lot The men are pleased to show the results of their expert rifle shooting to anyone who wishes to see just what real wolf pelt looks like Some of the animals are over seven feet from tip to tip.
 The belts were secured out of two different packs. both. of which mum. bered over 8 hundred animals. Bo' talla recently had an experience with one of the packs which he does not care to have duplicated. Going to his trap one day to secure a wolf which had been caught he noticed a number of the ferocious animals on each side of him and it was not long before he was surrounded, the wolves being at some distance. AS they gradually closed in on him he opened fire but they were too far away for any effective results. Wait ing until they narrowed their circle he succeeded in killing three of them before they took themselves off. On arriving at the trap he found nothing but some framents of fur and the foot In the trap. The captured ani nal had been eaten by the rest of the pack.
 They men report that the wolves in their section of the country are killing great quantities of game. il being no uncommon sight to sec from six to a dozen carcasses lying on the snow half consumed and the signs of several more that had been pull ed down and eaten entirely. The inroads of the wolves on the game Is becoming a serious matter to the proSpector and the miner in the Cinema country, for what usually win ters there Is either being killed by the wolves or else driven out of the country. The men have no recourse as the law only provides for their being disposed of by either trapping or shooting. which Is too slow a method for the men who are com pelled to dig for their grub stake They only hope that some special legislation may be passed that would allow of them employing diff ferent methods for disposing of the menace to their food supply.

WOLF HUNTER
 DISAPPOINTED

Ike Terrineimi, better known as Ike the Fisherman. returned from his trip to the Big Cinema country last Sunday. Ike went to that sec ton in hopes of being able to land some of the wolves which were re- ported to be numerous but was rather disappointed in not seeing any.
 Disappointed but not discouraged Ike turned his attention to other en. deavors and made 8 trip to the hills in the search of quarts. He brot back with him many fine specimens of the valuable rock. The caribou were very thick. over five hundred being seen in one band, but no wolves. The wind has blowen the snow off the North Fork hills and Ike had no trouble in securing e good view of many likely quartz veins.
 On the trip he combined business with pleasure and enjoyed himself at the sprngs for a while. The trip evidently agreed with him for he gained fifteen pounds. the result of the invigorating mountain air of the Big Cinema country and the benefit ing water of the springs.
