Case, and is an actual fact. That
statement alone is enough to damn
that route in the eyes of intelligent
men.
On the return trip, we left Discov
ery, Albert creek, on the morning of
October 19th. Up to this time, there
had been no snow in that country, but
during the night of of the 48th, about
a foot of loose isnow fell. We had
been told that the Hicks creek trail
was somewhat shorter, and as we had
no load, we decided to try that route.
Right here I want to warn any who
may read this to stay away from that
trail. It is the worst stretch of alleg
ed trail that l have ever seen in Alas
ka and is positively dangerous in
places. From where it leaves Albert
creek to where it joins the Matanuska
trail at Otter or Calm lake, there is
not a mile of good traveling on the
entire stretch. I made the trip to
Knik in just six days from Albert
creak; caught the launch Traveler the
following morning at 3 a. in., reaching
Sunrise at 2 p. m. the same day. Af
ter dinner, I started over the Moose
Pass trail and arrived at mile 29 in
time to catch the Alaska Northern car
at that point, finishing the journey in
Seward that nisht, just eight days
from Albert creek.
The best evidence in the world as to
the quality* of the trail is the time that
was made and is being made by all
parties either going in or coming out
of the Matanuska-Nelchina via the i
Seward-Knik-Chickaloon route It is
uniformly fast time, and • parties are
now leaving Knik almost daily, by dog"
* or horse teams, enroute to the latest
Alaska gold camp.
When I came out early this week,
there was sufficient snow for dog
sleds. The Sherman -Goode party
planned to leave the foilowing day.
Just beyond Chickaloon I met the Fay
F'arrington party bound in with horses
and a winter’s outfit. The Harper
brothers and Chambers will leave Knik
after the Sampson arrives.
There is an abundance of food sup
plies at Knik and prices are reasona
able.
The fact that the diggings are only
110 miles from Knik and a water grade
route is something that cannot be
overlooked, when one plans to take a
winter’s outfit into the Matanuska
Nelchina._•_
