101, 1921. "Nine Mile" Mt., N.E., Hazelton, B.C. 101, Strong of noisy Canada Jays, Heard Crosshills, and Frank said he saw a good many Spruce Grouse her yesterday. Had a long eight (1) mile pack trip over a rough road and rim-well trail passing thru large spruce and cedar country into moss- draped hemlock, then into Balsam Fir (species?) which goes up the side of the Mt. in the form of a shrub- even on top of Mt.

The bare yellow mt. top with huge patches of snow hang over the slide, with trees growing on both sides and one patch half way up in the middle. Several small Mt. creeks flow down from the melting snow banks and the whole is grown over with dwarf Balsam and Beretum, Wild Rhubarb, Juniper etc. growing between the slides. It looks like a wonderful game country and we saw several fresh deer tracks coming up.)
