it was of no use to us. We broke a 
new trail to the top of Fraser moun¬ 
tain and were there obliged to turn 
back. For three days we waited and 
at last it turned colder. In a forced 
march we managed to make through to 
Kimberly Lake in one day. About half 
way up I had gone off the trail and un¬ 
covered a trap and found the remains 
of a lovely red fox skin, in good condi¬ 
tion, except that the mice and weasels 
had burrowed through a hole in the 
shoulder and eaten all the meat from 
the carcass. Despite its bedraggled 
appearance I salvaged what I could of 
the skin. 
About two miles south of Kimberly 
Lake was a small lake that had once 
been in the neighborhood of a good 
lynx trapping territory. In the fall, 
when the wife and I had prospected 
this part of the country, we had 
noticed a few lynx tracks in the mud 
on an outlet where the beavers had 
made a dam. We had set a trap near 
the shore, opposite a beaver house, and 
I had never been there since. While 
Parnell prospected around Kimberly I 
went over to this smaller lake and 
found a half-rotten lynx in the trap. 
Here was another forty-four dollars 
shot—lynx were worth quite a bit of

By the time I had made the deturn 
trip to Edson I had covered something 
in the neighborhood of three hundred 
miles, and the dogs were going just as 
strong when I pulled into town as the 
day I left. Only the professional trap¬ 
per who has made use of these faithful 
animals can really appreciate what a 
genuine help they are. 
In an earlier chapter I mentioned 
how the Indians were in the habit of 
hunting martens with dogs. I will try 
and tell how we trap them with dead¬ 
falls and steel traps. The marten is a 
small animal about the size of an aver¬ 
age cat, belonging to the family of flesh 
eaters, and is equally at hq*ne in the 
tree tops or on the ground. He depends 
largely for his food on squirrels, birds 
of a great variety and their eggs, rab¬ 
bits and mice. The marten will thrive
