Dating is still uncertain. The range is expected to be sometime between 250 and 5000 B.P. (Before Present), with early guesses favoring 2000 BP. The Champagne and Aishik First Nations, in whose traditional hunting territory the remains were found, have given their consent to have the ice man studied; they have dubbed him "Kwaday Dan Sinchi" (kwah-DAY dun sin-CHEE) which means Long Ago Man Found. The remains have now been moved to the Royal British Columbia Museum in Victoria for study; the body includes some soft tissue, but it's unclear from the article just how much. The remains of a moose and antlers that were found nearby have yet to be dated or linked to Kwaday Dan Sinchi. Sorry, no new info on clothing or other artifacts.

The paper absorbs some of the grease which seals the package. Cooked meat will keep longer than raw meat, especially when surrounded by grease/lard. Remember Pemmican....and Buck also said they put their meat in buckets of lard when on their canoe trip. It was not uncommon to take cooked food, wrap it up, and stuff it in the shirt or haversack for consumption along the trail later. With a little extra salt added, I would think it would be easy to come up with a workable trail bacon. We often make scrapple from the first deer shot when on hunting trips and it lasts a week or more as trail lunch. Lotsa lard in scrapple too.

Brothers of the AMM and history list members; The 1000 eye lantern and mold are probably the last of any production, Gobel has stopped making them as of six months ago, he made me these as a favor for the AMM auction. I have the original lantern and personal grader in my collection, plus carry reproduction in my camp equipage. See AMM auction at: http://www.wesnet.com/deforge1/Auction.htm GBW has dropped many of the slow sellers from their line of available items, Peter has gotten into the "American Life" magazine trade (not sure if this was such a good thing as work has doubled). If more of the fur trade people would show some interest with ideas of items needed, he may consider helping out with some good items. Mike Rock has lined Peter up with a good source of quality tin for making tin wear. As far as what we carry in stock of GBW here at Clark & Sons is their: tin spectacle cases, brass shaving mugs (tinned lined)w/brush pocket, kidney canteens/copper/tin, tin pails w/lids, copper boilers, small trade kettle [SEE NOTE], small period copper boxes, samll tin funnels, small salt barresl, porte-crayons, travel ink wells, small document cases, and we can get anything in his catalog or have done special requests on occassion. NOTE: Last weekend I was at an old friends antique shop west of Denver, I spot a nice (old in color) brass-tin lined trade kettle hanging in the back of his store. I asked if I could see it, he explained it had just come in and hadn't been priced yet. I kept thinking I know who makes one like this or this is one of his (Peter Gobel's). I take it outside for better light and in 1/16" scribe along the rim of the kettle I find GBW / PJG, to make a long story short I have some fun with my friend about trying to sell a repro as original, find out it was sold to him by a trader for $100 in trade - this would "keystone" or retail at $200. I bought the large French trade kettle for that amount $100 to get it out of his stock, it was an early one before Gobel had a stamp - retail today is $170.00. So when looking at these items at a sale or antique dealer - look them over real close. You maybe paying antique price for a reproduction. -----Original Message----- From: pwj To: Clark & Sons Mercantile, Inc.

It was called a "1000 Eye Lantern" by Mad Anthony Wayne when on the frontier (NW PA), originally made in Phila and according to Valley Forge Historical personel was produced in large numbers after the Amer Rev War. This is a Ben Franklin design that was used on the western frontier and at one time the L&C Museum in St. Louis had one on display.

A story of the shortest muzzle loading deer hunt I've ever been on. Last weekend, Sept. 11, was opening day of the muzzle loading deer & elk season here in Colorado. One of my best friends was camping in the northern part of the state, trying to bag a Big Horn Sheep. Earlier in the year I had agreed to put in for a license to hunt in an area close to his, so I could help if he got one down. I got a later start than planned, but made it up to the hunt area by around 9 a.m. I parked by a likely road, got my rain gear on, yes, it was gently raining, primed up Old Kell'em and started quietly walking back along this road. Since I had never hunted in this particular spot, I decided to stay on the trail for a while to get the lay of the land. I hadn't gone a quarter of a mile when I spotted a nice sized doe (I know FAT cow from POOR bull). In fact, I was still in sight of my vehicle, which could just be seen through the trees. Well, I cocked Old Kell'em, with the ever present CLICK! The deer trotted to my left about 20 feet and stopped. I was drawing a tight bead as the deer stood broadside, peering at me as if trying to determine what the heck I was doing. Well, she found out alright. I dropped it with one shot, right through the neck - no meat damaged. Fifteen minutes and my hunt was over. Camped for the rest of Saturday & Sunday, mainly to let it cool out before taking it back to the home shack. The camp fire shore burns warmer when there's meat on the game pole. My wife, son & I enjoyed some of the best tenderloin in a long time on Monday night. Many pounds of jerky to follow. Hyar's to makin' meat!!!
