SEWARD, March 22. 4 Recent ar- .
rivals here by dog leani J-om Council,
on Seward peninsula, brilight news of
a tragedy on the lower' Kuskokwim,
involving a fight for l*fo against des
perate odds. The nero, who died try
ing, was Duncan “Clnnibar" McDon
ald, well known miner, who had lived
at Idltarod and later at Bethel on the
Kuskokwim. Ills story was related
by Mrs. Duke K. Stubbs, of Anlak, who
ministered to him in his last hours.
"Clnnibar" McDonald gained his
name by his repeated efforts to In
terest people with money to handle
deposits of clnnibar on the Kusko
kwim. it is from this ore that the
quicksilver of commerce is produced
McDonald found it an uphill under
taking, for while It Is possible to get
capital for gold mining, the average
man wllh money to Invest knows lit
tie or nothing about clnnibar and
views it askance. McDonald wrote,
L/ni, 11
alked and dreamed about the min
eral he had found and the other min
‘rs finally called him "Clnnlbar.”
But clnnlbar Is not good to eat, and
McDonald was forced to abandon hfa
lobby from time to time to mine gold,
•nough at least to keep him in sui>
plles from road houses between Idit
irod and Bethel.
Some years back McDonald found
placer ground on Bear creek, a tribu
tary to the Kuskokwlm, which looked
good. In small galleys near by pay
dirt was found in various pockets and
this year a man named Danny Bryce,
after four seasons' work broke Into
the pay up stream, lie went “outside”
with a “poke" full of nuggets the size
of walnuts. Danny was silent about
his find, but in a vague way it drifted
back to Bethel that he had gone out
to get a hydraulic plant.
"Clnnlbar" heard it, and remem
bered his claims, lie knew well the
mining law which provides that any
man staking a claim’ must do work
on that claim each to the amount of
$100 to hold it, and failure to have
proof of such labor recorded within
ninety days after the end of the year
is considered evidence that the owner
has abandoned it, so he hit the trail
for Bear creek early In December tc
do his assessment work.
About forty days later a trapper liv
ing on the Bethel-Anfak trail, whi
was keeping close to his cabin lie
cause it was fifty below zero outside
was attracted by a strange figuri
crawling up the trail on hands and
knees, his whiskers a mass of Ice. II
was McDonald, his tongue was frozer
to his teeth.
The trapper, long in the wilds, pro
duced two cans of coal oil and a tut
and proceeded to “draw the frost'
out of the frozen extremities of hit
friend. Thawing out a frozen man it
putting him through the torture ol
fire. The pain is the same as though
the frozen part were held In flames
but it had to be done. Thawing hit
face and tongue was a job for a sur
geon, but the trapper accomplished It
When it was done and the Injured
parts wrapped in n mixture of lard
and other Ingredients. McDonald made
it known that there was somethin!;
wrong inside his chest and he musl
have a doctor. He signified his wil
lingness to be taken to Aniak, a fout
day trip, and away they went with the
mercury hovering around forty-five
below zero, the thawed “Clnnlbar'
wrapped in many blankets and robes
on a dog sled.
At Aniak Mrs. Stubbs took the case
in hand and Arthur Willis took an
other team and went to Iditarod for
Dr. Moore, another three day trip.
In the meantime “Clnnlbar” felt
himself going. The frost had bitten
Into his lungs and for that there was
no cure. He lisped with his Injured
tongue the story of the nine days be
fore ho reached the trapper's cabin.
“I.el't claim all right, but pretty
cold. Second night colder. Afraid to
Siwash it’ (sleep out). Moonlight, so
easy keep going. Dots overflows along
creek; had look out keep getting in.
"Middle night moon lost light —
eclipse. Eclipse got me. Afraid stop;
missed trail; dark; stepped In water.
Ought to quit right there. Dead then,
but didn't like to give up. Never quit
going. Saw sun rise seven times be
fore reached trapper's, but what’s the
use. Somebody else have to mine
them clnnibar claims."
lie died delirious, mumbling about
his claims and the days and nights
he spent on the trail fighting the cold
The once frozen flesh had already be
bun to disintegrate, so the kind heart
ed men and women and the doctor
who came a long, hard trail to lend a
hand had to put all that was left of
the once hardy frontiersman and pros
pector out where the mercury still
stood at forty below and the frost had
Its way with •■f'innlbar-’ McDonald.
