| Summary: | Written in album: Here we have two dog teams, while hauling in the moose this fall. We see Mr. Freeman on the sled behind. I'm taking pictures of course. We have Jerry as the loose dog at left of Charlie. A very good dog but when he gets loose its almost impossible to catch him. He is more sly than a wolf when it come to traps. We got him after three days of trying [item #13a]. Written on verso [item #13b]: a-2 Alaska 1943. Icle [sic] The water running through the sluice boxes washes the gravel & frees the gold which is caught in the riffles while the lighter material is carried out of the boxes by the water. (Sounds fishy? but that's the way it's done). Written on verso [item #13c]: a-3 Icle [sic] Carabo [sic] I killed Sept 17, 1934. Alaska. The head is resting on top of the shoulders. Under the head is the flesh of the neck showing. Always dress the animal as soon as I kill it. This is the next day after I had shot it. And that's the old 30:40 rifle the shoot anywhere but where you look. PH Coll 1427.13c |
