The chunks of frozen caribou meat beside tlie bulky blanket-wrappebundle on Garths paokboard drew his displeased attention. You cant expect me to carry any of that venison. Im no pack jack of the woods. Forty pounds Is quite enough to suit me." Garth hefted the wolfskin sack. My guess Is forty-five- . Figuring roughly, that makes forty-on- e troy pounds, or four, ninety-twtroy ounces. Call It five hundred even. Platinum Is around sixty dollars an ounce troy. The values of the alloy will average at least thirty. That gives us a total of say, fifteen thousand dollars. Not so bad for a few days panning. Iluxby's face showed that this was no news to him.
