Mt. McKinley.
The M.xii, xxn IIkk.xld says that
the failure of Dr. Cook to scale Mt
McKinley will cause scores of
adventurous mountain eliml<ers to
attempt the feat. A mountain
that has the name of liemg impt rvi
oiis to human assault, will lie a
great attraction to enthusiasts on
mountain climbing.
Mount McKinlcr is probably the
least known mountain in the world.
little lias the country surround
ing it been penetrated tliat tlie ac
curate location of the peak xvas as
certained only five rears ago. the
year in which it was given its
name. Kven its altitude lias ortly
been approximated, the estimate of
its altitude being 20.400 feet.
This is approximately a mile great
er than the altitude of (lie other
lofty peak*of North America. Nor
is the altitude the greatest obstacle
to the ascent. On account of its
far northern latitude the perpetual
snow line on the slopes of the
mountain is from one to two miles
loxvcr than those on the other
American jieaks. Tim formation
of the peak is of granite in great
jutting promontories, while down
the intervening canyons crawl vast
glaciers which break off in huge
chunk**, leaving expos'd pcrjH'iidic
ular face* of ice, hundred* of feet in
height. The mountain is wane less
than four hundred mil<* from the
coast, hut the region surrounding
it has been so little explored that
less than 100 ]>cnplc have ever been
in sight of it, and prior to the visit
of the Cook juirtv no photograph
of it had ever lieen taken. It is
dillicult to conceive that there is a
place on the surface of the glut*
upon which nature has forbidden
man to stand, hut it is altogether I
probable that for years to come thej
summit of Ml. McKinley will re
main untrodden by the foot of even
the most intrepid mountain elimlier. i
The circuit court of appeals lias
derided that the eight hour lultor
law of the United States does not
apply to the territory of Alaska
which has its own code of laws.
