PHILADELPHIA—The Academy
of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia
has just made public excerpts from
the private log of one if its museum
Staff members, Harry J. Lance Jr.,
who accompanied the Carpenter
Greenland expendition sponsored
for the academy by R. R. M. Car
penter of Wilmington, Delaware, a
member of its board of trustees.
The party returned recently from
the far north aboard Captain Bob
Bartlett’s schooner, the Effie M.Mor
rissey, with collections of Arctic
birds, mammals, fishes and plants.
Three bees, mentioned in Lance’s
log, were among the trophies to at
tract general attention at the aca
demy. They were caught far inside
the Arctic circle, about 700 miles
from the North Pole. Lance said
they looked like “regular bumble
bees.”
Among the entries was one on
August 10, reading as follows:
“Dove (Dr. Robert Dove, a repre
sentative of the Royal Canadian
Mounted Police) and I lassoed a
young polar bear. Hard, treacher
ous going. Both in icy water waist
deep. Quite a battle. Bear very
ugly. Bit skipper by seat of pants
! when we got it on the schooner.
Collected birds. Hundreds of seals
moving up and down. Beautiful
view, Ellesmere Land; mountains,
glaciers, etc.”
The polar bear referred to was
named Hugo Spankenberger and
has been presented to the Philadel
phia zoo by William K. Dupont Car
penter, the expedition sponsor’s 15
year old son who was a member of
the party. Other specimens have
been added to the academy’s collec
tions.

The girls were holding the con

attending the party.
They came as expected, but depart

LACK OF WATER
COMPELS MINE
TO CLOSE DOWN
Lack of snow combined with cold
weather cut off the water supply
for the Clarence Poy mine on Min
eral creek, four miles out of Valdez
necessitating the closing down of
the work.
Operators had set up the mill in a
tunnel and the plan was to continue
operations throughout the winter.
Arrangements are in readiness for
resumption of work with the com
ing of snow that would insure water
This was the information brought
by T. J. McCrosky, who returned
from Valdez on the S. S. Alaska re
cently, after having served on the
jury in the recent session of court.
Mining and cannery operations at
Valdez were successful last season,
said Mr. McCrosky, and the people
there are well satisfied that 1935

FIFTY OUNCES OF COARSE GOLD

INCENTIVE FOR FROSPEC
TORS TO CONTINUE WIN
TER WORK.
SLANA, Alaska,—The placer strike
I that has been reported from Ahtell
Creek in this locality promises to
develop into a substantial find this
winter. “Laughing Ole” Swanson
and Gust Johnson, who made the
find on a left limit gulch during the
past season, have taken out more
than fifty ounces of gold and are
planning on spending the winter in
developing their holdings.
The gold they have recovered runs
pretty coarse. While they have not
so.far uncovered any large nuggets,
it is what would be called a “coarse
run of paystreak gold.” -
In addition to the original discov
erers, there will be a number of
prospectors in the section, working
on development of ground that has
been located since the first find was
made public. Bill McCloud, former
ly in charge of a crew for the ARC
and one of the best known placer
prospectors in Alaska, has gone in
with an outfit aand plans on spend
ing the winter sinking holes.
