Not illustrated. 1918 Excerpt: ...he had been shot in the arm by a white man, lived here as a blind old man until something over a dozen years ago, when his house caught fire and he was burnt to death, unable in his blindness to save himself. Site C.--Located on the Samuel Turner ranch on top of a bluff to the east of Mill creek, this village contained five or six permanent houses. The Athapascan name, kloche-na'lin-tin, "flat (?)-creekplace," was given because there was a flat place near the adjacent Mill creek. In the summer people gathered here from as far as Samoa and Bucksport to dry fish and dance, play games, shoot with bow and arrow, gamble, and do other things of a festive nature. Sites at the Bend of Mad River This was a very thickly settled district, with many villages so close together that, at the present time, it is difficult to identify them with the names of sites secured from native informants. Site 9, containing a considerable bed of shell, was the only one of these sites actually visited and located by the writer. It is located on the ranch of W. E. Clark, about the center of the southeast quarter of section 17, township 6 north, range 1 east. It becomes necessary to thus definitely locate this place, because there has been such a great change in the course of the river here, which formerly made a bend of over a mile to the south of its present channel. However, this change seems to be due to a definite local cause rather than to any general migratory character of the river bed, such as we find in the delta of Eel river. Mad river has a fairly definite channel. The cause of the formation of this great bend seems to be revealed in the description of site H. Here a tremendous jam of logs had been piled up by the winter floods. It is possible that some generations ...
