at camp chores.
At 4:00 P.M. I interviewed Mr. Nyberg,
lessee of land owned by Mr. McIntosh. Nyberg
told me he had counted 125 elk while walking
from Lower Gold Bluff to the mouth of Squawhan
Creek. He seemed fairly certain of
the truth of his assertion that there had
been a number of elk of a different species
from Cervus roosevelti released near here.
Nyberg said he was
certain that there were two "kinds" of elk
here.
Later, when I talked to Mr. McIntosh,
he said he owned 80 acres of land west
of the highway, and that 26 acres were
tillable.
I then returned to camp. Weather—clear.
Mr. and Mrs. A.T. Orr arrived at the camp
in the evening.
