Had a long talk with Mr. J.

Many conflicting reports that we
hardly know when to go. The region
N.S. & Naplata is said to be a

other odds and ends.

Dommm day, and nothing doing.
Stayed at Victoria until evening and then took
Escharmer for Vancouver. Harry brought
tickets for James Roberts and Wrayfield

Saturday July 3. Vancouver
Finished arrangements with William
Thompson. He tells me that there
are plenty of Sheep in the Lillooet
Mtts., and that they are practically
identical with the animals of the
southern Cascades or S. B.C., but
are different from, though closest
to the Rocky Mts. sheep.
The Miners got little credit

Steamer Orcaion May, in the
morning and she left about
11 o'clock or a little later.
Sunday July 3. Inside Passage
Steened all day up the
Inside Passage. There seem
more snow on the Mt. tops
than there ought to be at
this time of year.
