metal which was discovered in Alas

COAST DOCTOR AT IDITAROD;....
MAKES FAST TIME ON TRAIL
Dr. J. B. Beeson, who left An
chorage on January 24, reached
Iditarod on Tuesday morning, having
covered the distance of approximate
ly 200 miles of railroad and 700
miles of trail in the remarkable
time of nine days. The doctor was
induced to make the long winter'
trip to attend Claude Baker, bank- j
er of Iditarod, who is seriously ill,
but who was reported mush better
yesterday. His ailment is said to be
heart trouble, fhom which he has
been suffering for some time.
The Ancho"age Times, of January
24, in which announcement is made
of the doctor’s departure, says that
the Nenana-Yukon route was select
ed in preference to the Rainy route
because of better trail conditions and
a greater number of stopping places, i
J. E. Beattie, well known Iditarod
oldtimer, recently came out by way
of the Rainy pass route, hitting the
railroad at Wasilla. He traveled lif?ht
and was fifteen days on the trail,
notwithstanding the fact that the
Rainy Pass route is the shorter of
the two.
Dr. J. H. Romig, of Seward, is
in charge of the hospital during
the absence of Dr. Beeson.
