OF EARLY DAYS
(Valdez Miner.)
In these civilized days in the
North one can scarcely get out of
reach of a physician and surgeon,
but in the pioneer days of the terri
tory these were few and far between,
and some wonderful feats of surgery
are recorded, performed by amateurs,
and yet in many instances were as
successful as though they were the
work of the most skilled practitioners
and performed under the most favor
able circumstances.
An instance of this kind occurred
during the early summer of 1901,
the victim, a resident of Valdez to
day, is none the worse for the lack
of skilled treatment. Among the
stampeders to the Slate Creek dig
gings in 1901 were Archie Park,
James Leroy and Anton Eide. Find
ing practically all of the ground in
that vicinity staked on their arrival,
they went on a prospecting trip, vis
isting the section south of Mount Mc
Kinley, on the Susitna watershed, a
country then unknown to the white
man. They prospected about for
some time, with little success, keeping
a constant lookout for game to eke
out the scanty supply of food which
they had been able to pack in on their
backs.
One day while Eide and Leroy
were at some little distance from
Park they fired at something which
Archie had not seen, and which,
after the shot was fired he caught a
glimpse of going into the clump of
bushes.
Believing from its greyish appear
ance that it was a caribou, his part
ners had fired at, Archie, who was
closer to the bushes than the rest,
ran as fast as he was able to head off
the animal on the other side of the
clump. His companions shouted at
him, but he was unable to make out
what they said and continued run
ning at top speed.
He rounded a clump of bushes and
came face to face with a huge glacier
bear, violently enraged by a slight
wound he had received. Without
pausing for an instant he attacked
Archie, knocking him down and bit
ing him severely. Archie had heard
the story that a bear would not touch
a dead person, so he laid perfectly
still, but Mr. Bear evidently did not
believe in fiction for he continued to
chew, finally grabbing his victim by
the head and literally scalping him.
Here anbther actor appeared on
the scene. Archie had a little, black,
mongrel dog which, despite the vast
size of his adversary attacked him
valiantly, nipping sharply at his hind
quarters until the bear deserted his
victim and made after the dog. Ar
chie, his faith in bear stories gone,
as soon as the beast left him, got to
his feet and made tracks faster than
ever he did before, and succeeded in
rejoining his companions.
He presented a terrible sight. His
face was covered with blood and his
scalp was just hanging by a small sec
tion in the back. They were many
miles from the nearest camp and
something must be done at once.
Building a small twig fire to smoke
away the swarms of mosquitoes, his
companions cleansed the wound the
best they could with water and their
dishrag, the only piece of cloth they
had with them, then replaced the
scalp in position and sewed it to the
adjoining sound skin, using pieces of
sinew unraveled from the filling of
a snowshoe for thread and a broad
three-cornered sail needle. About
forty stitches were needed to com
plete the job, and it was, if anything,
more painful than being scalped, but
the victim bore the pain with won
derful stoicism.
In civilization probably such an
operation would have been utterly
unsuccessful, but healthy men in a
healthful climate can endure much,
and the crude surgery was a complete
success. Within a few days he was
able to travel, and within a few weeks
his wounds had entirely healed. To
day the marks of his wounds are
hardly noticeable even upon close ex
amination.
