C. Irons, game warden who returned recently from Mlnto after a ten days' tour of the wood camps. In dian villages and trading posts on the Tanana. Particularly ca nthis be said of mink, lynx and fox. which are report ed to be very plentiful. The natives who came out from the smaller side streams of the Tanana to attend the potlatches and holiday feasts along the river say that the season will be a record-breaker, so far as catch is concerned. Marten are not very plen tiful this year, and only a few such furs have been brought to the traders so far this winter. Game is scarce between here and Eenana, and very little has been killed, reports the game warden. No violations of the game law were no ticed on the trip of the territorial of ficial. One silver gray fox was reported to have been trapped a short time ago farther down the river than Minto, but Irons did not see the fur.
