Mr. Walter Shield* ha* returned
from a trip to Cape Prtnec of Wales
and to all the native schools and
camp* oa this route. On his way up
after leaving Davidson's place in *he
Mougarok he posed Masting* who was
br.ngmg Mr*, breeding down to Tay
lor from the spring*. Owing to the
fact that his »led» were drawn by
re>ndeer Mr. Shields gave the Hast
ing's dog team a wide berth of par
imps a hundred yards, and so did not
learn of breedings loss. However, a*
it turned out his lack of this informa
non did not do any harm because alt
the neighboring camps were notified
• u a uay d so. i.e went on down the
Serpentine river and visited all the
native camps. None of them had seen
uny traces of a lost white man.
Mr. Shields states that this Is likely
to be a prosperous year for the na
tivf* up that way as the foxes if.
very plentiful as are also the lyax.
Most of the foxes are white. He saw
s.x in one *»/ and tracks were every,
where visible. One native has caught
two blue foxes. Arctic hare are very '
.plentiful between the Kougnrok coun
try on the mouth of the Shlsrasrefl
in the whole trip traces of only two
■mail flocks of ptarmigan w«r* mao.
The natives say they got burled In
the deep snow of last winter and could
not scratch their way out because
of the heavily packed drifts above
. them. The only lack the natives are
.encountering is seals. At Cape Prince
j of Wales they can catch only a few.
’ In spite of the cold weather and some
I blizzards Mr. Shields and his native
j companion suffered no particular .
hardship on toe long trip. Their
three deer alu. stood the journey weU.
