ALASKAN PROSPECTOR STOPS
OVER IN HEAVEN; MEETS PAT
KIARCHS WHO ALSO HAD EX
PERIENCE WITH ELEMENTS ON
EARTH.
In old yellow, threadbare mack
inaw, pants (they might have been
overalls), the mighty patches of
flour sacks hardly distinguishable,
one red aand one blue striped Ger
man sock stuck into moccasins, end
ing where they went into the foot
wear; above the mackinaw a bunch
of whiskers and a muskrat cap
The total of this all. according to
the Valdez Miner, is: An old Alaska
prospector:
Wearily he trudged down the great
white way, his moth-eaten Siwa.sk
dog following behind. He approach
ed the pearly gates and knocked.
St. Peter asked: “Who might you
be?”
"I am an old prospector," the man
answered.
"Why come right in,” said St.
Peter..
Having entered he unceremonious
ly pulled off his moccasins and
socks' wrung the water out of them
as unconcerned as if he were on the
trail and arriving at some road
house. Wiping his bare feet on his
red bandanna, he turned to inspect
his surroundings.
How strange and unreal every
thing seemed. He missed most of
all the "reception" shot of hoot
chinoo his inner self craved and
wondered if he were welcome.
"And who might you be?” he ask
ed, noting St Peter’s airy rain
men and his halo of gold “Kin I
moo-sum here and git a little mucka
amuck or shall I klatawa to some
other igloo?”
“Mooseum, klatawa, igloo, muck
a-muck? My god man, I do not
understand you .”
"Kin I sleep here and git some
thin' to cat,or do I have to mush on
to another roadhouse?”
"But this is Heaven . You are not
supposed to eat and sleep You
stay here throughout the night,”
said St Peter "Just walk around
'and enjoy yourself ”
The old prospector walked over to
a group of men, who were sitting
around fingering the hems of their
robes, as if they let the, cold in
Everybody was silent No tales
were told of new strikes, less pay,
lack of water, shortage of grub or
bad trails . Several men looked
like old miners with nothing to do
until the snow flew again, but they
said nothing.. The silence was op
pressive..
Expectantly he looked toward the
group, but finding no conversation
coming, he made up his mind it was
up to him to get acquainted if he
was to find out about new pay
streaks..
"Had a h-of a hard time of it
he began, “never saw such high
water as we have had "
"Oh hell,” said a long bearded old
patriarch in the audience "
“Built a stick canoe,” he contin
ued, “on the Gulkana. Crookedest
river in Alaska. The swift current
threw me against a sleeper and up
set me and I jest got out alive.”
“Oh, hell," he was interrupted.
He glanced at his listener and con
tinued; “Crossed over to the Ga
kona, came out at the lakes; found
the whole country under water.
Never saw such a flood.”
“Oh, hell," this time more emphat
ic, and in a tone that showed the ut
most contempt for the oldtimer.
Undaunted he overlooked the in
terruption and with a single mind
he proceeded with his story:
“Well, I waded for miles through
swamps, knee deep, until I reached
the Tazlina. Well, you know what
the Tazlina is when it gets on a ram
page. Carries more water than the
the Copper and the silt is somethin'
to talk about. The river was so
high you couldn't tell where the
channel was. Talk about your
floods.”
"Oh, hell,” and the speaker gut up
and walked wearily away.
"Say, who is that old duck with
the Newcomb whiskers who kept
buttin' in while I was talkin’ ” the
old prospector asked.
“Oh, excuse me." says St. Peter,
I forgot to introduce you to the
boys. That's Mr. Noah, the man
who built the ark when the world
was under water a while back."
