Cook Party Returns.

and Mr. Brili were passengers on 1
the Saratoga for the States, after a
successful attempt to scale Mt.
McKinley. Although the party J
encountered manv ' obstacles such
* t j

they feel amply repaid for the I
time and trouble expended in
making the ascent,
Dr. Cook states that the height
of the peak is within 100 feet of
being 20,MOO. The report that his
! barometer did not work was an
error. Mr. Cook and Brill made
the ascent from the 8,000 foot camp
in five clays, averaging about 2000
feet a dav and building snow
houses each night. From the 18,
000 foot camp which was on the
slope between the two psaks they
rad.' the summit and back to the!
snow house at 1(>,000 in one day.!
From the summit the view was]
grand, the Yukon. Tatiana and:
I Kuskokw'm vail b.
Wrangel range. Si. Klias was not
visible owing to clouds in that
section.
Dr. Cook expects to return to
Alaska again, but is uncertain
which section he will visit. This
winter an account of the trip will
he printed and a map of the
Yentna, Kuskokwin and Shus
hitna country which was compiled
| l»v Topographer Porter, will also
