WINTER FAVOR
ABLE TO STOCK
Louis Jacquot, of Jacquot Bros.,
horse raisers and freighters, also
hunter's guides of Burwash, arrived
in Whitehorse the latter, part of
last week for a load of freight. He
found the trail rather heavy on the
way in, owing to the unusual fall
of snow.
Mr. Jacquot reports their horses,
of which they have between forty
and fifty, as wintering finely on tlie
range regardless of the deep snow,
the mild weather bein? in their fav
or. As yet' but little hay has been
ftd during the winter.
The Jacquots have something ov
er forty brood mares and expect to
materiall increase their herd
next spring by the addition of
a number of colts. Louis Jacquot
will not leave for home until some
time next week.—Whitehorse Star.

D'Arcy Arden who ook a drove of
cattle to the Chisana country last
fall, says the Whitehorse Star, ar
rived here the latter part of last
week, from that place and left Tues
day morning for his home in Otta
wa from which place he will return
in about six weeks on his way back
to Chisaaa.
Mr, Arden did not find the Clris
ana a good market for domestic
meat, owing to the abundance of
wild game obtainable there. The
lesult was that he slaughtered his
cattle and cached tflc meat in cold
storage in th. hope that the mar
ket will be better later in the
spring and when the season for
game is over.
Mr. Arden is not discouraged with
the outlook in the Chisana but is
convinced that it will develop into
a good mining camp with the ad
vent of spring. He says a few
new discoveries have been made
during the winter and thinks many
others will be made early in the
spriug when the working season op
ens.
