ON THE GLACIER TRAILS OF
ALASKA IN QUEST OF GAME
(By \V. T. VOl'N'd 111 "Outdoor Uf<\")
(Continued from Page Three)
md the Yukon territory; especially
he Oerenc river and its entire water
bed, the watershed of the White
iver above the mouth of the Generc,
ind the west hank of the White down
o and including (he Snag river and
dal of its watershed.
This country is reached directly
rom two points, namely, McCarthy,
Maska, and Whitehorse, Yukon terri
ory. The time required to reach the
muting ground is about the same both
,vays from Juneau, Alaska. If going
n by Whitehorse you first go to Skag
vay, then by rail to Whitehorse, from
vhere you outfit, then travel about
.welve days by wagon and pack train
:o the Generc river, a long, tedious
mil monotonous trip. If you desire t.c
%o by way of McCarthy you go by
steamer west along the Alaskan coast
0 Cordova, a two or three days’ trip,
lepending on the amount of freight
he boat has to handle; thence from
'ordova two days by rail to McCarthy
■vhere you outfit, then four or five
lays to the White river. This is the
route we selected, and of which I wil
•ndeavor to give the reader an ac
lount. In my opinion this is the most
ittractive way in which to reach tht
Generc river country.
In all trips after big game there
lire several tilings that should lie care
fully considered, especially with mosl
of us who are not overburneded witl:
surplus cash. These may he class!
lied in the order of their importnnei
ihotit as follows: Cost, time one car

nidi islanding-; when you are ready ti
ait tip [rail or make It mil settlements
it is no time to "change horses wliih
you are fording the river" and mis
mderstandings at final settlements an
tuples sunt and should be avoided
Deal fairly and honestly with yout
guide and you will nearly always have
i pleasant t rip.
Second, tin' selection of your provi
lions, which depend to a great extent
m the method and cost of transporta
ion front your outfitting point. Many
mnters leave these altogether to
heir guide, but I like to take tt hand
u it myself, especially il I pay for
tie supplies, and have the list
•becked over b.i the guide, who, of
•ourse. is familiar with conditions in
his immediate section.
Third, clothing, bedding, tenting,
cooking utensils and so forth, all re
quiring careful thought, and which
are somewhat different for various
sections of the country. Those who
I are not familiar with the country to
| be hunted must depend on the guide
for information and should pay strict
attention to the advice given, for
the "Johnny wise" does things he
should not.
The footwear, clothing, and even
the food will vary considerably for
the different sections of the country,
and most of those of little experience
take along too many things, many
of which they have absolutely no use
for, and who need other things
badly which they have not taken.
Therefore, pay strict attention to
what your guide recommends. The
older I get and the more I hunt the
smaller my personal equipment be
comes. Ijooks do not count, but
comfort goes a long way, especsially
at night, when I get my rest. Dur
ing the day I can get along any old
way. Fourth, get yourself in condi
tion physically by taking regular
| walks, climbing long Mights of steps,
| both up and down, taking turns at
! running; all of these exercises should
] be regular, beginning on a small
scale and increasing the work as you
proceed. Don't forget the rifle. Kven

the track you find sno /■ apped mouii

you wish to hunt them. When I say

in California. Off to the north nu-|
nieroUH glaciers come down to prac
tically sea level At about Mile 30
lout from Cordova you cross the first
| and main outlet of the* Cop|x*r river,
which spreads out here for several
miles Into many branches, with brush
and high sand dunes on tin* numerous
islands These islands provide homes
for foxes and bears After crossing
the Copper river the train turns north
up the oast bank between th** river
and the mountains, and along about
Mile 42 to Mile 51 can nearly always
been seen plenty of goats on the ad
jr.ccnt mountains There are always
hoars in the valley, but seldom seen,
as the alders are very thick, provid
ing excellent cover.
i At Mile 4!> the train stops for a
short time, giving one a chance to
see the Childs glacier, one of th** most
active glaciers in the world, facing
the Copper rived for a distance of
about three miles, with a wall of ice
in places over 300 feet high. This is j
a beautiful glacier, and the constant
breaking off of the ice into the river
with a roar like distant thunder makes *
it very interesting. Crossing the river
here on the $2,000,000 bridge, you pass
directly in front of Miles glacier, on
the east side of the river, with the
river and lake between you and the
glacier. This lake usually has many
large blocks of floating ice. Thus you
continue up the Copper river, winding
around glaciers and along the edge
of the muddy river the entire day. al
ways in sight of beautiful scenery,
glaciers and other interesting objects.
The train consisted of flat cars for
handling hags of ore. box cars for
merchandise, baggage and express,
day coach and a combination day
coach and diner, where you ran got
