A. H. Twitchel), after an absence
a couple of months visiting at his
reindeer headquarters over in the
Dietna section, returned to Takotna
a few days ago. Speaking of matters
coming under hjs notice Mr. Twit
ch ell *aid:
"I began work with my dogs and
sled on the reindeer ange on Septem
ber SO. At tha.t time we had1 about
eight inches of sntvy. The weather
was mild, and the ground not frozen,
so the snow settled rapidly and was
'half gone bv October, l.
"My first work was to haul in four
black bears killed by Mr. Fowler,.the
meat of those animals being used for
dog feed
“On September 30 1 delivered my
first load of reindeer meat to the
Mooe creek miners.
“Qn October 1 I saw where a large
timber wolf had been follow pig my
tracks, and the tracks of three bears,
going to their dees l suppose.
»“The snow had nearly all melted
irf October, and lor a few days,the
ptarmigan, that had turned white,
were easy to see on the bare ground.
The birds seemed to know that they
weie at a great disadvantage and
'were often seen hiding under the
scanty shelter of willows or aider
brush, b it we could see them nearly
a mile off when they thought they
were hiding. There were thousands
of them, i nsrnall flocks or in flocks
of hundreds, but they, were wild,.
“Spruce grouse were feeding, on
blueberries, often away, out on the
tundra, a half mile or more from any
/timber

r;|nge we hajl plenty. That may be
,b,3c reason why wo had so many
hears ar.d game birds.
“Hawks and owls have been scarce
for some years, hut now. we see one
or more hawks almost every day, and
we often see a big snowy owi flying
or sitting on the ground. These
snowy owl feed on the ptarmigan and
