SECOND FIRE STARTS

to burn brush along the Railroad

of control. It burned over less
than half on acre before it was
extinguished.

HOAX on HISTORY?
MUSEUM SAHDSTOHE
COULC BE EITHER
Latest contribution to the ter
ritorial museum at Juneau is a
“mystery” stone, found by a Geo
logical Survey party last sum
mer, at a point about 100 miles
inland from Point Lay in the far
north. The stone, a smooth flat
piece of sandstone about half an
inch thick and nine by twelve
inches in size, has the names
“Weir” and “Ward” and the date
1842 scratched on its surface.
This apparently is far earlier
than any white men were thought
to have been in this area of Alas
ka. It pre-dates the period of
Russian exploration along the
Yukon, which is the earliest rec
ord of white man’s entrance into
the interior lands of the north.
Edward Keithahn, curator of
the museum, believes the words
are names, possibly of members
of a whaling crew whose ship
was frozen in on the Utokok Riv
er. However the theory is weak
ened by the fact that the letter
ing is apparently the work of
educated men, who were not
common in whaling crews of that
period.
