ber of cliffs* in the Wrangell range
a wolverine had a hard time in
ages past. Instead of being able
to travel in straight lines it was
continually compelled to detour
the cliffs. Nature has provided aj
remedy, however, for in the last
jew years a new species has ap
peared. Hunters, who have seen
it, declare it possesses a strip of
hide attached to the fore and
hind legs’ in the same manner
as a flying squirrel,save that the
wolverine’s arilon s are more ef
fecient. It is said that in a hig^
wind, the animal can float long
distances. Trappers have seen
it calmly launch its self off the
highest of cliffs and waft away
on the breeze, and seeing, have
declared it to be the most re I
markable thing ever witnessed
When killed, the loose skin be
tween the legs shrinks, in spite
efforts to hold it in shape, so
that when dry, the pelt presents
the same appearance as that of
the common cache robbing vari
ety, which carries a can opener
on each foot.
The Hot Springs precinct is
probably one of the quietest in
Alaska. During the past two
years it hasn’t had a single dis
turbailee or court case.
There is a scarcity of fur in all
parts of Alaska. Martin is practi
caily non existant.The only meat
that is plentiful, is rabbit.
