Transcript	remained for the night while we went on to the mouth of Salt Creek - It is now snowing again, but the wind has died out. Distance 23 mi. [March 1901] Mch 1st. Our accommodations at Salt Creek were bad - small cold cabin - etc. Left there ahead of the team - 10 miles down the river I met the whole tribe of Athapascans from Rampart out on a moose hunt. Nine large sleds - 30 people including men women and papooses, snow shoes, &c. They moved across the river and went into camp at noon intending to hunt a day or so out on the divide - the Indian kills a moose & then moves to it & camps after it is eaten he hunts, kills another, moves to it, eats it, &c. &c Reached Tuckers cabin for the night. 25 miles traveled.
