Just Good Hope before
noon and Mr. Kindly H.
Carr by Mr. L.P. Gaudet
who formerly sent many
specimens to the Smithsonian
and by his son Mr. Lee
Gaudet. Gaudet St. has
paned 43 years at this
post, but what time he
has only once been "outside"
I camped in a house
belonging to the Company
and explored the vicinity
a little during the after-
noon, and set some
traps. Lee still remains
beside a creek back of
the post. Got a white fish
from a lake a few miles
away tributary to Navestock
River.
Was a twin with Mr. Gaudet
about whatefish etc. He tells
me that they get a fresh one,
but more later, that comes
up the Mackenzie to spawn,
but does not pass the
Rampart or Sams River
Rapid. They call at the
Thompson but it is different
from the Bear Lake.
June 21 Took for Mammals
and some birds. Steamed
an Indian duck from Andrew
Lemalette. It was shot a few
miles down the river. Called
on Mr. G. Staton who
is "tiding" for Niskop and
Wagler and had a talk
with him regarding guns
e tc. Spent a short time
