BEARS DEVOUR SKINS
 OF TRAPPING PARTY MAKE OFF WITH CONSIDERABLE PART OF SEASONS CATCH OF BERGER AND MEckEM
{Valdez Miner)

Nick Meckem, Heine Berger and J. sehulte arrived in town Friday after noon from the Klutina~ Lake district, where they have been trapping tor several months past. bringing in Wlth them a fair catch, principally oi beaver.
 Tn the case of Meckem and Berger their seasons work would have netted them considerable more had it not been for bears of the Klutina section who displayed remarkable appetlte
 for beaver skins to the exclusion of cheaper diet. rT
 Early in the winter Meckem and
 Berger, who were trapping together, established their main headquarters 1n a cabin at St. Anne creek, on the north shore of Klutina lake, where they stor- ed their main supply of grub after they established another camp in a cabin on the Klutina river, above the head of the lake. About the middle ot l, May they left the cabin at St. Anne, and went up the Klutina, and had a small camp about five miles above their cabin on the river. One evening on returning. to their camp they found that bear had visited it during their absence, and had made off with twenty eight beaver skins, which were rolled up in bedding. leaving the grub un- touched.
 ] They followed the tracks of the marauder, and finally recovered six teen of the skins, a number of which were badly damaged, Feeling sure that the bear would again visit the camp

MT. Meckem took his rifle to bed with him that night, and sure enough about four clock in the morning MT. Bruin showed up, and was greeted by. oui- let which laid him low. He turned out to be a brown bear, fat and in good condition, and his flesh furnished a number of very toothsome meals whlie his hide was added to the seasons catch of furs.
 Later on going down the river to their cabin, they discovered that a bear had visited there, and had made of with the skins of three beavers, two minks, and two ermine. and had pot disturbed the grub there. No trace of these skins could be found.
 This was not the end of their afflict- ions, for on returning to their cabin at St. Anne creek, they found that a bear or bears had visited there with most disastrous results, for everything in the way of food was gone, the dish es and cooking utensils badly battered and smashed, and everything general ly wrecked On leaving the place m May, they had not only secured the door. but as a further precaution had nailed up the window. The boards were gone from the window and on proturding nail wa sa lock of hair left h., +bo x,;s;+or xpf;ch Identified him or her as one of the black variety. a'
 In the cabin they found note from a man stating that he had visited the cabin on May 18th, about four days after Berger had left there, and stat ing that bear had been in the cabin and had eaten some of, the grub, and th.t he had, re-nailed the boards over the window. Their absence demon strated that the bear had made sew eraI visits to the place. Practically everything eatable had been devoured except a portion of a sack of flour, which was saved from the wreckage, and this constituted the menu of the trappers for eight days, until they reached Copper Center.
 The cabin had been well stocked with provisions, as it had been the in tention of Messrs. Meckem and Der ger to spend the summer in prospect ing in the neighborhood. and the loss is a heavy one. aat a4t4.
