West Side Glacier Bay.
July 16 - July 20.
(Copper mine Cove)
Our camp was made in a Strawberry patch in a little cove some 4085
miles south of Berg Bay. There is
a copper prospect back a couple of miles
from this point and trails had been
out thru the woods and up thru the
brush on the mountain side so
we had easy access to a portion of the
country.
We found the following mammals
at this locality.
Black Bears had been caught in steel
traps and dead falls set by the Indians
until only a few remained. We saw
where one had been trying to dig out
a marmot from under an old rotten
log but he had not been successful.
We saw no signs of brown bear.
Porcupines had been abundant
4 or 5 years previous to our visit, but
the Indians had killed and evidently
killed the vast majority of them.
