Otto Wm. Furst is preparing to plant
Mink on some of the streams on the
island but as yet has not done so.
He feels confident that they will
live and flourish, tho there may be
some danger of the streams & ponds
freezing solid in winter.

mink are found on the end of the

common. Perhaps they even extend to
