miles and contains the loftiest moun
tain in America—Mount McKinley. It
*"us established by the act of congress
approved February 26, 1917, and is
the second largest national park.
“Mount McKinley rises 20,300 feet
above sea level, and is nearly 6,000
feet higher than Mount Whitney, the
loftiest summit within the borders of
the United States proper. The south
side of Mount McKinley, which is the
stupendous climax of the great Alas
kan range, is nearly impassable. It
is covered by glaciers of enormous
bulk. Tiie annual snowfall in some
places reaches a depth of sixty feet.
On the north side, however, is a roll
ing country dotted with beautiful
lakes and foiests and inhabited by
great herds of caribou, bighorn sheep,
moose and deer. The huge Alaskan
bear is also native to the park.
“Congress established this reserva
tion as a refuge and breeding ground
for conservation of Alaskan big game
against inroads which may be expect
ed to develop upon completion of the
new Alaskan railway. In the absence
of specific appropriation for admir is
tration of the park the governor of
Alaska continues to afford protection
to the animal life through the sn.all
force of territorial game wardens un
der his direction. Promptly upon pas
sage of the act creating the park an
estimate for an appropriation in the
sum of ?1.6,000 for protective and im

congress, but this failed to receive
favorable consideration in either the

DISCOVERGOOD
DIRT ON CREEK
IN THE TAKOTNA
The strike on Nixon creek in the
Taxotna district is a bona fide one ac-;
cording to the following article print
ed in the last lditarod Pioneer receiv
ed from the interior:
Mespelt and Rhode, on a pup, riirht
limit, near head of Hirden creek, are
27 fee" to bedrock, and have 12 feet of
gravel running from lc top to 3c at
bedrock, which is gvanite. This pup
stands on end. Then above them, on
the next pup, Ansio can not get down,
as it is thawed, panned out a 20c nug
get and several pieces going 1 to 3
grains. He will have to run up a
drain. Then between these two, H. E.
Carter has pay on a one-claim pup.
Then below Mesfelt and Rhude is Ed
Whelan, Jones and Griffin with pay.
An offer of $2,000 cash for a half in
terest in 6-b on Hidden, at the mouth
uf this pup, has been made.
Just over a low saddle from the j
| head of this pup on Ruby, Charley!
|Pearson has a large body of gravel!
carrying values as high as 30c in shot
ty gold. His last shaft runs from 2c
*op to 10c on bedrock, which is hard
granite that is not broken up. Dan
Aston has taken a lay on No. 3-b on!
Ruby, and is now taking in his out
: fit. George Walters and Jake Estol
man started for there this morning,
as they own 1 and 2-b Pankirk und
George-accompanying them, j
There is 3till plenty of ground to be
staked, with plenty of wood, water,
meat and vegetables right in the coun
try to live on—not like it is at Good
News Bay, where C. A. Fowler writes
his partner, Frank Joaquin, that then*
are only 3M: claims with pay and no
prospects on adjoining crocks. There
is no wood or game, and it blows hur
ricanes with rain, fog or snow all the
time.
The Nixon will make a summer and !
winter camp, as it is frozen, and 3 or j
4 times deeper than any one thought.
] There is enough now in sight to moke
a small camp, but believe me it will
grow when they get some piospccting
boilers in there.
Tom. Aitken is busy getting his 47C
tons of dredge materials out to Can
dle. He has let the contract to haul
100 tons to Dave Edwards, it is re
ported, as one of his horses lias been
laid up with a lame knee.
The boys on Karl creek will have
their ground ready to hydraulic the
coming season. The small cut they
run last fall averaged 54c to the
square foot, and because their drain
was not deep enough they had to leave
two feet of pay under them until they
deepen t» e drain next spring.
&
Of course, the lawyers are pretty
busy, but it is still possible in this
country for a man to make a fool of
( himself without employing an .lttor
j ney.
