WOODBURY ABBEY ARRIVES
TO START SURVEY OF PARI
Woodbury Abbey, Cadastral En
gineer, p. L. O., in charge of th
important work of surveying an
marking the boundaries of Moun
McKinley National Park, arrived ii
Nenana from Healy on the trai;
yesterday evening. There is con
siderable pack and other equipmen
stored here at the completion o
previous surveys and, with the as
sistance of a few men whose set
vices were locally engaged for th
survey work, Mr. Abbey Is no\
busy assembling such of the equip
ment as will be needed in the pres
ent survey for shipment to the «m
of steel as soon as possible. Th'
majority of the members of thi
survey party, most of whom ar
sourdoughs, came in from the coas
with Mr. Abbey and are at presen
at Healy awaiting the arrival o
the rest of the party and equipmeen
from Nenana.
Engineer in Charge Abbey wa
assigned to the work rather late ii
the season and left Washington, D
C., very hurriedly on April 29, en
gaging men experienced in the worl
by wire as he went along. His at
rival in Alaska was further retardei
by the marine strike and he final!;
landed at Seward from the North
western on May 27, pulling out fo
Nenana almost immediately afte
landing.
At Anchorage, Mr. Abbey wa
able to get seven horses from th'
Alaskan Engineering Commission
for his pack train and at Healy hi
secured two more animals. He ex
pects to get away from Nenana oi
Saturday morning, at least, witl
Bob Toussaint, William Wallace am
Ed Moore, and the equipment am
supplies for Healy, where the en
tire party will prepare to take thi
field immediately.
Camp will be established on th.
East Fork of the Toklat, the actua
survey commencing from the initia
monument which will be establish
ed on the summit of a hill lying be
tween the forks of the Toklat, ap
proximately 50 miles east of Healy
From this initial monument, th.
line defining the boundary betweer
Kantishna proper and Mount Me
Kinley National Park will run S
6 degress 20 minutes W., for a dis
tance of 19 miles, swinging at thi:
point to S. 68 degrees W., ant
running for a distance of 60 miles
The party will then backtrack foi
the Toklat forks and run the line
defining the northern boundary o1
the park, from the initial monu
ment eastward toward Healy, for :
distance of approximately 30 miles
The first 19-mile line run wi!
nearly follow the course of Stonj
Fork, and the deflection followec
from this point will skirt the famous
Muldrow Glacier, and run within i
mile or two of Wonder Lake.
The boundaries of the park, whiei
will be the largest National Park if
the world, will be clearly define,
with stone monuments and two-incl
iron pipes with brass caps, the cor
ners being marked with three-incl
pipes. The monuments and ot'nei
boundary markings, although no
erected at stated intervals, will b<
inter-visible, so tthat from any on.
monument another on either side ol
it will be seen plainly.
It will not be possible to com
plete the work of surveying the pari
in one season, and it is the inten
tion of Engineer in Charge Abbej
to push the work along as rapidlj
as possible and to continue it unti
cold weather renders further opera
tions impossible.
The park boundary lines leac
through a country of unsurpassed
scenic grandeur and beauty, teem
ing with games of all kinds, bul
mostly moose, caribou and mountair
sheep, and watered by many cleai
stre&ra in which greyling and troul
abound/ assuring the survey part]
a plentiful supply of fresh meal
and fish.
