BIG GAME THIS SEASON
SCARCE, SAYS GC1DE
, .—
Charles E. Emswiler, the guide and
hunter, returned from a month s trip
to the lower Kenai lake. While there
Mr. Emswiler noted the great scarcity
1 of game. He says that where there
were 125 to 150 moose two years ago
there are now only 18 or 20. A iso
where there once were 200 mountain
sheep he could see no more than eO,
and out of these only about three
rams. He reports also a scarcity of
ptarmigan, saying that instead of six
or eight young ones there were only
two or three following the mothers.
He thinks that the hawks and owls
are eating up the babies, as there is
a great number of these destructive
birds present, and the baby ptar
migan are the most helpless birds
that live.
While in the Russian river country
he saw E. L. Votaw, who likewise re
ports that only a few grouse are to
be found in that district. On the 29th
of July the temporary camp, contain
ing a little food an<l clothing and be
longing to Mr. Votaw, burned up.
The fire was due to carelessness of
some one who failed to totally extin
guish the camp lire, he says.
Mr. Emswiler reports that the fox
ranch of Henry Lucas and William
Kaiser down on the lower Kenai is
doing very well. He says that they
have the two old ones and this sum
mer they raised live young ones, four
black and one cross. Out of the
seven fox six are the most beautiful
specimens of the black fox that he
has ever seen, and that is going some.
At present they are putting up a lot
of fish for winter supply of food for
the foxes.*
