STICK PARTY SCALES
MCKINLEY'S LOfTYlOP
Distant VlOTV of Mt. McHlnlcy.
(Spoclnl to the Dully Alaskun)
FORT GinnON, Jno 21? Mt. Mc
Klnley has boon conquored.
For the irst time iiince the world
came out of the darkness "without
form and void" a human being has
stood upon the dizzy holKht of tho
North American continent's hlghes
mountain peak and looked out ovor
the lowlands twenty thousand flvo
hundred feet below.
On the afternoon of June 7th ;
Archdeacon Hudson Stuck, accom
punled by Harry K. Karstens, Ro
bert G. Tatum and Walter Harper,
reached tho highest point of Mt. Me
Klnley and there unfolded the4^jner .
lean flag and orcctei a slx-foo't
cross bearing the Inscription "Te
Deum."
Tho day was clear when tho in
trepid party reached the mountain
top and the sun shown down in scin
tillating splendor. The frosty air
was Invigorating and :he scene awe
spirlng beyond expression. With
their field glasses the men could eas
lly see the flagpole still standing
which was erected by Pete Ander
son and William Taylor near tho low
< r north peak In 1910.
Archdeacon Stuck read the an
gles to all tho prominent peaks af
ter they had successfully carried
tho mercurial barometer to the sum
mit whore observations were made
By careful and scientific and simul
taneous readings at Gibbon an ac
curate approximation to tho true ul
tltude will bo posslblo whon the
proper correctons are applied. From
tho best field calculations it is es
timated that the giant Alaska moun
tain Is 20,500 feet In height, pre
vious calculations pluclng the ultl
tude at 20,3000 feet.
At the top of the mountain water
boiled at 174.9* of. temperature.
Water at sea lovol bolls at 212?
Fahrenheit.
Dr. Stuck says that tho only pos
sible approach to the summit Is by
the northeast ridge, tho same one
taken by Prof. Ilorshol Parker and
llelmoro Brown hint year. The
higher regions of tho mountain aro
badly shatterod and fissured by an
clont volcanic action and the tre
mendous earthquake last year. For
this reason the danger and difficul
ty of ascent was greatly increased,
making the approach to tho top al
most an Impossibility to anyono ex
cepting tho most experienced moun
tain climbers. The party spoilt
throe weeks during a period of con
tinuous bad weather, hewing a pas
sago through thro miles of ice and
debris on the northeast ridge, and It
was tho difficulties met with at
this point which caused tho delay In
reaching tho summit.
The upper basins and higher
peaks show evidences of violent up
heavals by recent earthquakes, but
the summit, which is a rounded
dome or bahl knob, remains as firm
and unbroken as when the original
rocks wore placed there by the gi
gantic convulsions of nature'.
Dr. Stuck, though himself an ex
perienced mountain climber, is vory
generous In his praise of othor mem
bers of tho party, and particularly
praises Karstons to whom he gives
chief credit for the success of tho
undertaking. Uo said that It was
owing to tho good Judgment, re
sourcefulness and caution of Kar
stens that tho feat was consummate
There wpre 110 mishaps and the
party are well and hopo to arrive In
Fairbanks during tho month of Au
gust.
Tho trip to tho big mountain has
been tho desire of Archdeacon Stuck
ever since ho came to Alaska In
1904. He has had considerable ex
perience in mountain climbing in
other countries. Ho has used his
Ice pick in the Alps, the Cunadlan
Rockies and the Colorado Rockies,
and is thoroughly conversant with
exploring work among snow, lco and
crevasses, bo when tho Archdeacon
camo to Alaska years ago ho brought}
with liltn barometers nml otner in
struments that might be used in tnk
ing observations while climbing the 4>
mountains. Until last year, when he
secured the permission of Bishop
Rowo to spend it few months during
tho present year In an attempt to 1
climb tho peak, there did not ap
pear to be much chance to use the
Instruments.
After permission had been secured
the archdcacon enlisted the services
of Mr. Kurstcns, known to Alaskans
at the "Seventy-mile Kid." Mr.
Kamtens possesses a thorough know
edgo o the Kantishma and Mt. Slc
Kluley country, having acted as a |
guide for the Charles Sheldon ex
pedition during two winters.
Last year Mr. Karstons mado a
trip to Diamond City, on tho Bear
paw river, in the Kantishma water
shed, and cached a launch load of *
supplies and dog feed at that place
Archdeacon Stuck had secured c
through tho kindness of ProfeMor 1
Parker, of the Parker-Brown expe- c
ditlon a number of sketch maps of 1
the mountain, which wero used by
Mr. Karstens to some extent in map- c
Ing the line of march up the peak.
Mr. Tatum Is a brother of Lieu- e
tenant II. C. Tatum, of the United <
States army, and has been in Alas- 1
ka for about two years. He has <
been located at the Nenaua mission t
