Tuesday Sept 6. Across Mts to Dingenika. Left our camp near the Diggings and followed around the Mt side but on account of canyons had to climb nearly to the summit and lost some time in the afternoon we followed the ridges and valleys above the timber and finally came down the side of a broad grassy valley and camped just below timberline across the Dingenika, whose valley here and for a long way up as far as we could see from the Mts. was tunnel over. We saw several perches of Mr. D. Plummer on the high rocky ridges and 4. shot a couple of Rock Ptarmigan from a flush. Also some W Tails. The day was cold and partly cloudy. Many Lipti on the Mts. H. Marmot fairly common. Burrow of Ground squirrels. I saw a few signs of Caribou. moths, etc. on the mountain. A lodge pole pine at our morning camp near timberline was 8 feet high 4 inches in diameter and had 72 annual rings. Chipmunk taken above timberline. Wednesday Sept 7 To N. Fork Dingenika We made a late start, having to star horses etc. and going down into the Brule we followed down the valley of the Dingenika all day and camped at sunset at the junction of the N. and the main Fork. The woods at timberline are almost entirely Abies subalpina while in the burnt place black and white spruces, and lodge pole pine had been the principal trees. We came down many hundred feet today. Near our camp the Lodgepole pines are very tall and a good size and Balsam poplars 12 feet in diameter. Saw Capnoides sempervirens. We took 3 or 4 Porcupines during the day. Both males and large. The larger weighed 28 lbs. Peter Jensen told us that a boy killed one season 200 porcupines during the mummy excitement here a year or two ago. Carleton crew fairly common that were killed at that time.
