PROSPECTORS
BADLY FROZEN
ON THE TRAIL
* James Brown and Dan Campbell,
two well-known prospectors, were
brought to McCarthy from the Chisana
trail Saturday evening by Mail Car
rier J. McClellan in a badly frozen
condition, and are now under the doc
tor's care at the Kennecott hospital.
Leaving Chisana December 3, they
encountered severe storms in the vi
cinity of Russell glacier, but man
aged to make the relief cabin on this
side, where they stayed till the
weather cleared sufficiently to enable
them to make another start.
Jimmie says that they were mak
ing fine progress until a severe storm
overtook them on the Nizina glacier,
only four miles from Gwinn’s old barn,
which, though dilapidated, would have
afforded them shelter for the night.
The storm became so violent that the
dogs refused to face it, and as they
were off the trail, the men decided to
camp for the night on the ice.
Abandoning the sled and dogs the
following morning, they finally
A reached this barn, where they at
temepted to thaw out, then continued
on to the “Homestead,” where they
stayed sixteen days. By burning up
the spare bunks and using the mail
carrier’s grub, they managed to keep
alive till he arrived, having been de
layed at the White river for over a
week on account of storms, the ther
mometer at times registering 60 de
grees below zero.
McClellan immediately went back to
the glacier for the boys’ outfit and
team, but only found one dog alive.
Three are believed to have returned
to Chisana, and three wrere found
frozen. Though there was plenty of
fish and meat on the sled, the faithful
beasts had touched nothing.
Joe McClellan and Bill Maher then
started for McCarthy with Brown and
— -—1
Campbell, making record time on the
way down.
Just exactly how seriously the boys
have been injured can not be ascer
tained for a day or so, but it is feared
Campbell may lose a foot and Brown
some fingers and toes.
Had relief cabins been erected on
each side of the glaciers all suffering
could have been prevented.

WE ARE THE LARGEST DEALERS IN RAW AND MANUFACTURED
FURS IN THE NORTHWEST, and all wre ask of you, Mr. Shipper, is to give*
us the chance of a trial shipment and we will convince you that we pay more
for furs and make quicker returns than you can get anywhere in the country.
We have been in business in Alaska for 36 years, and have built up a very
extensive trade. We sell manufactured furs in all parts of the United States.
Canada, and in a great many European cities.
By shipping to us you are not only helping an Alaska industry but you are
helping yourself to build up a business that belongs to Alaska.
We eliminate the middleman entirely, as we buy direct from the trapper and
trader and sell direct to the consumer; thus we are able to pay you a better
price than you can get elsev'here. WE MAKE RETURNS THE SAME DAY'
SHIPMENT IS RECEIVED.
If so desired, when your shipment amounts to $100 or more, we will wire our
bid, and if not entirely satisfactory you may wire at our expense and we will
ship to any place you designate.
All we ask of you is to be fair with yourself as well as with us, and make us
a trial shipment; the result will make you a steady shipper.
