END OF IT
Last of One of Alaska's Dark
Tragedies
t
The discover? by i'rof. Frank Hewet
of the remains of his sister, I>r. Edith
Chambers, on the Goodpaater river and
their (positive identification, is the clos
ing act in one of Alaska's many dark
and mysterious tragedies.
Or With Chambeis came north,
seeking a fortune, in 1900, locating at
liawson. She was a dentist by profes
sion, but she never praiioed at Dawson.
After working for a year with the
1 .adue Company, of Dawson, she started
on a trip across country to the Tanana,
prospecting and gathering material for
a Ixvk that she had arranged to have
published. She was of literary tastes
and had done much work for magarinee
and newspapers. Her route lay up the
Kortymile river, across to the Good
paster and down that to the Tanana.
She was making the trip all alone.
After passing the mining camps on the
American side in the upper Fortyraile
[district she was never seen alive. A
diarv, articles of clothing, some of her
damping outfit and letters to her eastern
relatives were disoovered by Sergeant
Meyers, of the United States signal
corps, in 1903. These were sent to the
address given in the diary and found
I'rof. Hewett in 1904. who began his
scarch for his sister's remains in 1905.
The diary said that Dr. Chambers
had l^een compelled to ab?n?ion a raft,
which she made when;she struck the
tioodpaster river where (she turned her
lone pack horse loose. She cached her
provisions, made up a pack and started
down the river. Her grub gave out
and she returned to her cache It bad
been robbed by pears. She then w .x>le
in her diary that the outlook was one of
almost certain starvation, her only hope
being a rescue by a prospector or pros
pect ing party that might happen to I
come that way. From that time on.
for 20 days, she wrote each day in her
diary, and each entry showed a realisa
tion of the fact that her position was
becoming more and more hopeless. In
the 20 days her entire food supply con
sisted of only four birds which she had
killed. The last entry in the diary was
on October 9, 1901. She apparently, j
retained her reason and realized her j
position up until the very last.
I'rof. Hewett was too late last year !
for hi- attempt to ascend the Tanana |
and Goodpaster rivers to succeed. This .
year he was more successful. He was j
helped up the Goodpaster to McCarthy's
and from there he tramped the distance
to the last renting place of his sister j
alone He was guided by the descrip
tion of a high mountain referred to by
his sister in her diary and by a descrip
tion of the place where the diary was
found by Sergeant Meyers. So accurate
were the descriptions, be -says, that he
knew instantly that he had struck the
right place when he came upon it, 86
miles up the l?oolpaster river.
Prof. Hewett could find only a por
tion of the remans of his tister. They
included & part of the skull, a rib, most
of the bones of one leg, part of an arm,
and other portions of the human skele.
ton. The Identification w?t made com
plete by the particles of clothing, found.
They included a shoe, part of a woolen
waiat. a beaded moccasin, made and
recognired by a Mrs. Davis, of Dawson,
a cloth jacket to which <a attached two
hraaa soldier buttons and other odds and
enda, Including a few fishooks. The
clothing wa? recoenired as belonging to
Dr. Kdith Chambers by James Wilson,
a packer who was the last man to sec
her alive.
Prof. Hewelt found the clothing first
and the bones afterward. He dug up
much of the ground in the vicinity but
could find no evidence of there having
ever been a grave. The 1 tones were on
the surface and were scattered over a
section of the country 300 feet in ex
tent. The indications are that wolves
devoured the body.
