"MUSH" II 10 HE IDITAROD
Despite the fact that he has lost
both his feet and unmindful that he
is nearly sixty years old, George A.
Terrill, an old sourdough of Alaska,
now In Skagway, expects to leave for
Seward in the near future and with
two dogs intends to mush over the
winter trail to the new diggings In
the Iditarod.
"Several old time Alaskans have
told me that the Iditarod is the com
ing camp of the north and they ex
pect to see twenty thousand people
there in the spring," said Terrill . "1
am going to try to get in there be
fore the big rush starts.
"I know the winter trail from Sew
ard will be a Io::g hard trip, but I
think I can make it, wooden legs and
all.
"1 was in the Fairbanks and Atlin
rushes and I ought to have a fortune j
? but I haven't. I am going to take :
cnc more chance oil the Iditarod. It ,
lcoks good to me."
Tori ill lost both his feet a year ago
Inst March. While out prospecting he
broke through the ice near the mouth
of the Tolovana river, about SO mile*
below Fairbanks. He was alone ami
had to mush twelve miles back to
camp with the thermometer far below
zero. Uoth feet were frozen.
Later he was taken to Fairbanks
and both feet were amputated by Dr.
Hall, formerly of Skagway. \ Citizens
of Fairbanks raised a purse to send
Terrill outside. He went to Tonakee
springs last fall, but his love for Al
aska was too strong and lie never
left the country.
He has been in Skagway about a
month.

who has been transacting some legal
business in Skagway (or the past
week, will endeavor to complete his
work so that he may return to Jun
