Prospector Missing
Thi •ee Months
ANCHORAGE, l/P) — The tenth
rescue squadron’s trail crew set
out Wednesday to find out what
happened to Paul Barnett.
Barnett, 60-year-old veteran
prospector from Palmer, hasn’t
been seen around his cabin in the
rugged Nelchina Glacier area off
the Glenn Highway for three
months.
Friends recalled that a year ago
he was badly clawed by a bear.
They’re worried for fear he tan
gled with a bear again this spring.
Barnett left Palmer three
months ago for his cabin. Six
weeks ago his dogs came out of
the brush. But there was no sign
of Barnett.
A helicopter crew saw no signs
of life while flying over the cabin,
and dropped in to find his diary,
with April 7 the last entry.
ANCHORAGE, (JP) — A map
drawn by a friend of missing
prospector Paul Barnett was drop
ped to a 10th rescue squadron trail
crew searching for him in the Nel
china glacier area today.
Barnett, 60, has not been seen
for three months.
P. D. Cook prepared the map
showing trails Barnett frequented
and told searchers Barnett often
left his isolated cabin for long pe
riods. His cabin is a short dis
tance from the Glenn Highway.
