About 200 Years Old

DR.. Otto Giest returned Thurs

Eskimo cache found on Sledge

spring. Giest made the trip with
Walluk by skin boat.
The anthropologist from the

cache wasn't as old as had been at
first thought. He placed the age
of the relics at not more than 200
years.
He said that there was very
little left in the cave and what
there was, was of very little value
to the musuem.
Dr. Giest is awaiting transport

He plans to go first to Taylor
then cover the entire region be-

There was no mourning, how
