Dickson, returned to port at Corporation of Canada's construe- Montreal. Tall. slim. her auburn hair smartly bobbed, Mrs. Peterson told the story of her trip to the north to a reporter here recently. Fifteen claims she staked during her week's visit, and with her husband she Is going back to Chlbougamou again next month to carry on the work she has begun so successfully. She went to Chlbougamou to meet her.husband, who his been working in that district as a mining prospector. Leaving Montreal by train on Monday, December 9. Mrs. Peterson arrived at Amos on the Abitlbl -line, two days later. From there she flew to Lake Opemiska. at the head of the River Chlbougamou, where she Joined her husband. Mr. Peterson, she explained, had been one of the last passengers by aeroplane to Chlbougamou before the "freeze-up," which set In at the beglnntog of last month; and, she was one of the first to venture north again after it. "I flew to my husband's camp near Lake Opemiska." she explained, "and we set tled down to work the following day." The work meant long snowshoe tramps on trails which had already been blazed by her husband, and the staking of the different claims whenever a likely spot was struck. I had never been on snowshoes before," she confessed with a somewhat rutful smile." and I found it hard work, I can tell you." Mrs. Peterson was full of admira tion for the country, which she said exerted a strange fascination over anyone who knew it. "Of course. It is not an easy life," she added. "We lived in a little log cabin, with snow leaking through the roof. We got up early In the morning, and had breakfast In bright moonlight Then immediately afterwards we set out on the trail and worked all day. At night I was so tlre4 I couldn't even smoke. But I loved it, and I'm longing to get back again." Had Experiences "Did I have any experiences? Well we had a lot of trouble with wolves or to be more exact, with a wolf. We were camping at the time near a lake which my husband called Lake Laura (after met, and this wolf my husband was sure it was the same one kept prowling around the camp at night. We chased it several times, but we never got it." With regard to the Indians they encountered, she believed they were Objibways. They were very friendly, although not many 'of them could speak English, and they were perpetually laughing. The squaws or most of them had never seen a white woman before, and were nat-uraly Interested In Mrs. Peterson to the point of being inquisitive. "Curiously enough." Mrs. Peterson remarked, "many of the men seemed afraid when they saw the airplane, the women showed no signs of fear." The fact that some of the men bolted when the plane came into sight while the women waited to see what it was seems to show the curiosity is as prevalent a characteristic among the dusky belles of the Objibways as anywhere else.- "One old Indian, who had been working with us as a guide," Mrs. Peterson said, "ran for the woods whenever he heard the sound of the I aeroplane's engines. He had been very useful and faithful, and before I came away I presented him with a necktie, which delighted him immensely." A keen desire to go back north again, was expressed by both Mr. and Mrs. Peterson. "One might expect that living hi a cabin and working amid perpetual snow would become wearisome," the Iat ter said, "but that is not the case. There is so much to do. and sq much to see, that one never has time to think of the loneliness." which was Just as large and was kept Just as warm, he . had used hardly 1000 gallons of fuel in December. He asked that the Board of Works and city engineer look Into the City Hall system In order to ascertain If everything was working all right. The suggestion was agreed' to by the council, Aid. Brown pointing out that. one reason why the cost was higher was because the Savoy Hotel plant was a hot water system, while that of the City Hall was steam.
