and piling up at a point about
five miles back from the face.
Out Over Land
“One of the strangest phases is
that the glacier is now moving
out over the valley plain where
trees, shrubs, moss and flowers
have grown prolifk-ally. Most
glaciers I have seen have fronted
on the sea, where the tumbling
fragments fell into the ocean wa
ters. Here the crackling tons of
ce falling to solid earth below the
face, to be ground, smashed and
scattered by the oncoming main
body.
“White glacial water flows in a
comparatively small stream along
one side, and murky waters, pro
bably caused by the contacts in
the newly cut banks of the gen
eral path flow along the other
side.
“When we first went there we
could walk up to the face, but
the last day it was too wet and
too dangerous to approach it. The
face is about a mile and a quarter
wide. Pinnacles of ice rise to a
height of about 500 feet along the
center of the face, and the outer
edges to about 300 feet. When
the massive chunks fall from the
heights they crash with thunder
ing effects.
“Old timers report they could
step on the face of the glacier be
fore it started moving last fall.

Now it is decidedly different.
Over Old Glacier
“The glacier is estimated to
have moved about three and a
half miles since it started travel
ing so fast last fall, following
heavy rains in October. The rains
probably lubricated the under
part of the glacier, and some
claim the present glacier is mov
ing over the top of a more anc
ient glacier, whose surface, after
beng affected by the waters and
movement of the upper body has
become quite smooth. About half
along the length of the glacier
from its mouth it seems to have
buckled to possibly a height of
3,000 feet. Heavy down drafts
prevented us flying close to the
face.
“We landed in the plane up
stream from the roadhouse^ and
walked in ordinary foot wear to
the glacier and over the river ice
to the roadhouse without using
snowshoes.”
“The idea that the glacier might
be broken up with dynamite or
bombs seems fantastic. From all
appearances all the dynamite in
America would not affect the gen
era] volume of the giacier any
more than an attack of a regment
of fire flies.”
“Tile glacier now is about at
the jaws of the moraine and brak
ing and spreading, and may go to j
pi cos there or along the banks1
of the river as fast as it reaches
that point without causing any
conditions to endanger the road
house—but it is a rare and awe
some spectacle.”—Fairbanks Daily

spring operations.
News of the find was confirmed

The spearhead which is of fine
workmanship, has been forward
ed to the American Museum of
