image thumbnail Starting out for caribou, Beaver City, Alaska Title taken from caption. "11502 -- (12) The interior of Alaska is generally well-timbered, and there are large tracts of good grazing country. In these conditions we are not surprised to find considerable large game. There are several varieties of bear, moose, caribou, wolves, and many fur-bearing animals; and, in certain portions the silver and black fox abound more plentiful than in any other country in the world.The caribou, which is a species of reindeer, are found in Northern Alaska, where they rove in immense herds from the Arctic Ocean to the valley of the Yukon, and in some localities range a considerable distance south of that stream. In this view we have a representation of a party of prospectors encased in their Arctic attire, with sleds loaded, ready to start on a ten days' hunt for caribou.Hunting the caribou is a rare sport, and whenever a large herd is encountered, the hunters are usually able to bring down a half-dozen or more with their unerring rifles, and thus provide their camps with an abundant supply of choice fresh meat.The hunters travel on snowshoes whenever the beaten paths are abandoned.""John P. Clum, U.S.P.O. Inspector and Lecturer"Copyright, 1900, by B. L. Singley Stereographic Library Collection, ca. 1800-1910;

image thumbnail Will Campbell, the Only white Boy on the Allenkaket River, Alaska Title taken from caption. "11555 -- (6) Judging from his suit and hood of fur and his team of dogs, we might mistake the boy in this picture for an Esquimau. In 1898, at the time of the great rush for gold, he was the only white boy on the Allenkaket River in Alaska. He is delighted with his team of six young dogs and no doubt enjoys many a long ride with them over the snow. For practical use, a team usually consists of ten or twenty dogs and is a mixture of Esquimaux dogs and dogs from the coast. The team is guided by call, a line is never used. The dogs are easily taken care of and are especially suited to the needs of the miners of that region. After a hard day's work they are fed a piece of dried dog salmon and then burying themselves in the snow, leaving only their noses stick out, they go to sleep for the night. Being very docile and sagacious, the young dogs are much enjoyed by the children as pets. These dogs were indispensable to the Yukoners in pushing their way into the interior of Alaska."Copyright, 1909, by Keystone View Company Stereographic Library Collection, ca. 1800-1910;
