Mother Qpigley, because of the lat

to Tolovana by steamboat was but a
short distance, but is required a
week to make the few miles up the
Kantishna river. We traveled in a
small open launch. My, but it was
cold! And it seemed as if we were
always getting stuck on sand bars.
At one time it was twelve hours
after running aground before we were
floating again. We reached Uoose
velt October 1, where we stayed one
week preparing for a XO-mile walk.
“This thirty miles was probably
the longest walk I have ever taken.
The weather was extremely cold. It
required three days and five hours to
make the distance. At the end of
the thirty miles we had to cross
Moore creek, an extremely dangerous
crossing. Then came the last leg of
the journey to the Quigley cabin.
This is located between Friday and
Kureka, and is X.500 feet up a moun
tain side.
“Mother Quigley is probably the
best known woman in Alaska. She
is the only woman living in this vast
section of mining country. She went
Wrth first in 1895, settling near
Dawson. So famous has she become
that she now has a corner in the
Smithsonian Institution, where her
specimens of wild things are mount- ;
ed and kept.
“During my visit with Mrs. Quig
ley I never ceased to wonder at her
remarkable ability. She always main
tained that her husband was in that
vicinity solely to mine and that she
wbuld take care of the incidentals.
“The nearest timber to the Quig
ley cabin is ten miles away. Mr. and
Mrs. Quigley at times would start out
together and spend several days
felling trees and splitting them into
nine timbers. The job of carrying
the timber from the forests to the
rabin remained for Mrs. Quigley.
Kvery timber in the Quigley mine
tunnel has been transported ten miles
by Mrs. Quigley's famous dog team.
“To Mrs. Quigley’ falls the duty of
keeping the larder supplied. She is
the hunter of the family and there is
not a better shot in the North. The
killing of the great glacier bears,
moose and other big game is just a
part of her day’s work.
