MAP OF THE YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK. 



From the latest Government Surveys. The line =11 = 11- shows route followed hy the Forest and Stream's Mid-Winter Expedition. 



Trails could be seen where they hunt in pairs. Soon 

 we came to the hotel. Only the top of it could be 

 seen through the snow, it being piled higher than the 

 eaves. Sliding down a steep incline tunneled through 

 the snow to reach the door, we went on through the long 

 dark hall to the north end, where we had seen smoke 



coming from a stovepipe in a wrag. Here we found 

 Major Lyman, who was in charge of the place. Soon Mr. 

 Al Thorne came in. He has been here since the "Schwat- 

 ka explorers" came over, coming through with them 

 from Norris; had come from the Mammoth Hot Springs 

 to that place with a team. 



An hour and a half after we arrived, Pete Nelson, the 

 mail carrier, came in from Norris. As the telephone was 

 in working order, word was sent to Kelley that we had 

 arrived. Some fears had been entertained that we were 

 lost, as there had been several very stormy days since we 

 had left. E. Hofer.
