FELTHAM DIES
OE FATIGUE
Member of McDougal Firm Dies
After Exposure on Trail to
Cache Creek.
R. W. Feltham died from exposure
and hardships of Alaska life, June 29,
in the Cache creek mining district,
and his body was brought to Anchor
age on the power boat Operator from
McDougal. F. W. Barr, an employe at
the M. A. Ellis hydraulic mine on
Thunder creek, in the Cache creek
district, accompanied the body. Ac
cording to his account Feltham, who
was senior member of the mercantile
firm of Barker and Feltham, at Mc
Dougal, left McDougal the morning of
June 19 with three pack horses loaded
with mail and provisions for different
operators and prospectors in the Cache
creek district. The distance is about
sixty miles and the Cache Creek
-Dredging company has established
camps at intervals on the route, from
its headquarters to McDougal, for the
benefit of their employes and the peo
ple of that vicinity.
Feltham reached camp number 2,
about 32 miles from McDougal, on the
second day out and evidently got lost
a day or two afterwards. The oper
ators knew that he was en route to
the district, and when he failed to
make his appearance according to
schedule, relief parties were sent out
from the different camps, and he was
found by Scotty McLain and Jas. Mc
Allister on the momiug of June 28, on
what is known as the old summer
trail, about 20 miles from the dredge.
He was in a very weak condition and
all but insensible as the result of his
terrible experience of wandering
through the mass of tundra swamps
that abound in that region which is
lamentably free from trails and roads.
l Feltham revived long enough to tell
McLain and McAllister of his experi
ence which resulted in his death. He
told them that the horse, carrying the
mail, ran away the fourth day out, and
when he finally caught the horse, after
an all day’s chase he was turned
around and never got back on the
trail, although he wandered for days
in the mosquito infested swamps until
his strength gave out. Feltham’s
horses were played out and almost
| dead from poison from mosquito bites.
McAlister reached headquarters at
: 3 o’clock the morning of the 29th and
, F. W. Barr, John Umbrick and one
other returned with the fresh horse
and first aid supplies, arriving at the
place at 10 o’clock a. m., June 29, and
Feltham died at 10: 1G that morning.
I The body was placed on the fresh
horse and the party started for Mc
Dougal, GO miles away, and were 19
hours in making the trip, as they had
to brush out the trail the greater part
of the distance.
The body has been turned over to
the Masonic lodge of Anchorage and
his wife and two daughters, who reside
in Seattle, have been notified.
