The "Andrew Stone" cache is a miniature log cabin placed on the ground and the top covered with halved logs usually weighted down with stones ([Fig. 101]).
The "Belmore Browne" cache consists of a pole or a half of a log placed in the fork of the two trees on top of which the goods are held in place by a rope and the whole covered with a piece of canvas lashed together with eyelets, like a shoe ([Fig. 103]).
The "Herschel Parker" cache is used where the articles to be cached are in a box. For this cache two poles are lashed to two trees, one on each side of the trees ([Fig. 104]), and across the two poles the box is placed.
We now come to more pretentious caches, the first of which is the "Susitna," which is a little log cabin built on a table with four long legs. The poles or logs composing the legs of the table are cut in a peculiar fashion, as shown in the diagram to the left of [Fig. 107]; this is intended to prevent animals from climbing to the top; also, as a further protection, pieces of tin are sometimes tacked around the poles so as to give no foothold to the claws of the little animals.
[Fig. 106] shows two other methods sometimes adopted to protect small caches and [Fig. 108] is still another method of using logs which have the roots still attached to them for supports. Such logs can be used where the ground is too stony to dig holes for posts.
[Fig. 109] shows another form of the Susitna cache wherein the goods are packed in a box-like structure and covered with tent-cloth tightly lashed down.
The "Dillon Wallace" cache ([Fig. 110]) is simply a tent erected over the goods and perched on an elevated platform.
The "Fred Vreeland" cache is a good, solid, practical storehouse. It is built of small logs on a platform, as shown by [Fig. 111], and the bottom of the building is smaller than it is at the eaves. It is covered with a high thatched roof and is ornamental as well as useful.
