THE MUSHER i
WHO BROUGHT j
THE GOLD
If the story of Bob Griffith, tlu* man
who brought the half million of gold
from lditarod, could be told as it
really is it would make a tale of
thrilling interest.
Bob came to Forty Mile, Alaska,
first in Inn*. Before that he had
been driving stage in the Black Hills
and in other wild places. While en
gaged in that work he was held up
several times. Twenty-eight \oars
ago he hit out for the Alaska wilder
ness and got to Fortymile. At that
time only fifty men were in that parti
of the country and they were engag-1
ed rocking on the bars, making good
money. Only one steamboat plied on
the Yukon river and one season that
boat got on a bar down near the
mouth. Jack McQuesten who was
* aboard sent Indian runners out across
country to inform the Fortymile
miners and this Indian kept going till
he found another who took up the
running. The course of these run
ners was by the head of the Tanatta
river but the news got to the white
men and they started down stream to 1
get provisions. This was called'
Starvation year on the Fortymile. j
In 16L>2 Mr. Griffith w as sent for to |
drive a tally-ho at the World’s i air (
in Chicago and he left Fortymile in
a polling boat for the great journey
He polled all the way up to Lake
Linderman and went out over the
Chilkoot Pass. At Five Finger Kap
ids the boat was portaged ovt*;* the
big biutf at the left hand side of the
rapids, going down. At Whitehorse
rapids the boat was lined up on the
same side and portaged over the
famous canon. After the l*air Bob
# again hit out for the Fortymile and
was there when the Klondike was
struck. Today he has a store in the
Tolstoi, a summer mail contract
s\hich he tills with his own boat for
the Iditarod. and at the same time
packs millions in dog teams over the
trails. The number of miles traveled
by him over the Alaska trails would
make a journey far greater than that
around the world. When questioned
about the possibility of a holdup of
gold trains on the Alaska trails, like
those in the Black Hills days, Bob
said: “They’d be crazy to try it.”

WOODROW is located 6% miles from Seward.

winds.

Homestead.
A tract in Woodrow is equivalent to more than 12 lots
in Seward.
The price is so low that no one can complain.

block in Seward for $125. — Some fractional tracts are
selling as low as $25—$50 and $75.

and corner on an alley. Each plot is easy to access.
Woodrow is a beautifully wooded tract and a veri
table park.
