Charlie's photo description: none
Caption Source: Bill Addison because we ran out of tape & time (at 1 am) before Charlie could
describe it.
Photographer: unknown
WDA's Comments, 2014 Feb 02: The engine cover is on the aircraft. It is tied off beneath the
engine indicating that the engine is not being heated up. This suggests that this is an afternoon or
evening photo because, were it the morning of a planned departure, the cover would be untied
and spread out to accomodate the lit pots (gas burner heaters, analogous to blowtorhes). The
similarities between this photo and Photos 1 and 2 of AXM on the Snye suggest that all three
were taken the same day.
CF-AXM was not registered until Mar. 05, 1937 (Ellis, J. R., Canadian Civil Aircraft Register)
so this photo post-dates that.

WDA's Comments: Emplacement of the heavy framework logs to support the flume in the canyon is just beginning. Note how low the water is compared to later photos.

Milt Campbell's Audio Caption for photo: 30. So now we have Gus and Albert Faille and Billy Clark. Yeah. Is there snow there? Let's have another look.

Photographer: Milton J. Campbell

WDA's Comments, 2013 Sep 11: Both Gus and Albert have shovels to put gravel in the sluice box.

Albert Faille had been trapping further up the Flat River valley above Bennett Creek. He was far enough away that they never contacted each other all winter. He came down to Bennett Creek once the melt started and stayed there until all five left together after the gold sampling was finished. The work that the four did would count as their assessment work for the year, keeping their claims in good standing for another year. These photos may have counted as some of the proof that they had done assessment work.

Charlie's photo description: These were taken on that trip to Nelson on the doctor's boat.
That's at the mouth of the Nahanni. I used to know the names of some of these guys but I don't
now. They were the last of the old Nahanni Indians [Dene] I think. They had names that carried over
from the Yukon, like Boston Jack and one was Diamond C. There was old Bobby Babiche but
he's not here. The one on the far end looks like what the Indian [Dene] calls George Antoine. It looks
like it's got to be him. He was known for his travelling. He was hard to keep up to. The little girl
in the front I don't know. Look at all the fish and nets and whatnot piled over there. I don't think
there's many of that old fella.

WDA's Comments, 2014 Feb 05: There are stacks of dried fish on low support structures
between the people and the cabin and meat of some sort hanging on the drying rack by the fish.
Neither Charlie nor I could identify any of the people. The old man in the foreground is likely
Paul Tesou based on a comparison to a 1952 photo on p. 141 of Nahanni by Dick Turner,
Hancock House Publishers. Spelling of Tesou may not be correct since Turner had George
Boudah as Boo Jodah.
