Unknown Arctic Region
Inspires Strange Tale
The unknown Arctic region between
Colville and Porcupine livers where
Dr. Smith has led a party of the U. S.
Geological Survey on a perilous mis
j sion of exploration is the locale of
j strange tales spread among fur trad
ers and gold hunters by the native
Eskimos and Indians.
The territory which Smith has gone
to investigate and chart appears on
the maps largely as a blank space.

have been traced to their headwaters,
and what in the way of topography
and resources lies within an area of
35,000 square miles, has been a mat
ter of conjecture.
Reports have trickled out of the
Polar Basin, that great lakes of oil
were to be found in this region. But
the Eskimos and natives tell stranger
stories. They say the land is haunt
ed by weird beasts, some of such im
mense stature that they leave tracks
as large as dinner plates. It is said
that no Indian can be persuaded to
penetrate the region, even though he
be tempted by the promise of abun
dant fur. The lore has it that there
are great areas of hot springs, where
the snow never falls, and the streams
never freeze.
Some of the more credulous of the
white men, linking the tales with their
scientific reading, contend that there
still may lurk in the far north rem
nants of the mastadon herds that have
left their bones and ivory in almost
every stream bordering the lower Yu
kon river.

BRAWLEY, Calif., July 2—Fire of
undetermined origin which was dis
covered in a restaurant here shortly
after midnight, swept an entire block
the city’s business district and burn
ed a dozen buildings to the ground be
fore it was brought under control this
morning.
Two two story hotels, housing about
100 guests were among the structures j
destroyed. All of the occupants were
believed to have escaped.
Tentative estimates of the proper
ty damage varied between $75,000 and
$100,000.
