Two Pets Minks in Camp
For a while a beach crow was one
of the pets which formerly hopped
about the camp at all hours of the
day, but on account of the crow
getting into the habit of bringing his
gang around with him at early hours
in the morning, Kasenek, an expert
rifleman, decided his rest was being
broken up too much, so one morning
he arose and with his gun—well, the
crow was seen no more. Very much
out of the ordinary, though, are the
antics which two pet mink, which are
making their home at the camp. Hard
ly larger than rats, only much longer,
these beautiful little fur bearers
move about the tents from early morn
to late at night, and so familiar are
they becoming they even hop into
the bunks occasionally.A certain box
in which scraps of food are thrown,
is the first thing they head for upon
coming into camp from a romp about
the woods. An old stovepipe, which
has never been cleaned of soot, is
their favorite playground, running
back and forth through the iron tun
nel wdth great dexterity. They have
been named Romeo and Juliet.
• Both Men Oldtimers
Alex Kasenek, of Russian birth, now
a naturalized citizen of the United
States, is an exceptionally splendid
example of the Alaskan prospector.
A 'graduate of Russian and German
universities, shortly after arrival in
New York he became an American
citizen by special decree, due to his
grandfather being a member of the
Russian officials who remained at
Sitka for some time following the
purchase of Alaska from Russia. He
was a member of the noted New York
hospital staff for a considerable pe
riod. At the time the United States
entered the world war, Mr. Kasenek,
an Alaskan veteran, was in the Nome
region and enlisted at Fort Davis,
three miles from Nome. He was a
member of the Black Bear division,
27th infantry, an officer of the regi
mental supply department. While
overseas he won a number of medals
for his expert marksmanship.
John Smith is also a veteran of the
world war serving in the First bat
talion, 85th division, heavy artillery.
He saw 19 months service overseas
and was 22 months in service. He
was gassed at Chateau Thierry and
later sent to a high altitude in Colo
rado. He received his discharge in
1919. Like Mr. Kasenek, Mr. Smith
is an oldtimer in the country and has
prospected in many of the interior
districts.
