TFtE TRAIL TO
MOTHER LODE MINE
As I climb up seven thousand
feet of winding trail Northwest,
Where the nightly shadows
lengthen from o’er the
Mountain crest
1 can hear night winds a sighing
through canons as they twine,
From out the Wrangle
Mount tins, on the way t >
Mother Lode Mine.
I can see the valleys far below
through the darkening
purple haz'\
And I see the many lights of
Kennecott, a twinkling as 1 gaze
And down upon the Glacier, I
can hear some animals whine,
As 1 take a rest along the trail,
on the way to Mother Lobe Mine
1 can see the silvery moonbeams,
on Blacklmrns rugged height
And 1 hear a raven calling, to
its mate on homeward flight,
And somewhere up toe canon 1
see the eternal shine
Of the snows not yet melted,
on the way to Mother Lode Mine.
1 can see the shacks of
Blackburn, dese ted by a race
Where once a town had
flourish* d. and a dance hall
ir e set the pace.
And as 1 k o t on this tumbled
heap '-<> like an ancient shrine,
A man begins to ponder on t ie
way to Mother Lode Mine.
I can see a bunch of rivers,
winding down to Chitina’s way,
Like so many silvery snakes
or lightni igs forked array.
And l hear the night birds
calling, frou out some
tangled vine
As 1 keep on ever climbing up,
on the trail to Mother Lode Mine.
And as I gaze from on top of the
World across the Valley,s to
Mountain tops,
Or 1 spy a little creature that
comes ii[) to me then stops. !
Oil it makes me feel it’s good to
live, though wealth may never
be mine,
C\>r I’-m '“Lord of ail that I
survey,’’ on the trail to
Mother Lode Mine.

sites lor airplanes landing fields

lnnoko and Kuskokvvim regions.
In the Second division, tenta
five plans have been drawn up
for constructing a field a short
