(Continued from Pare One)
I A scrap of a diary giving the
j latitude of Balzulnetas, and
i which later fell into the hands'
J of the Russians, was all that
j ever was found. So ended the
last attempt of the Russians to
extend their domain in America.
By way of confirming the Indian
j1 legend, MacDonald made some
| j search to find some trace of the
j stockade which was built by the
I Russians in the vicinity of Bal
zulnetas about 10 miles up riv
er from Slana, but did not have
time to do a thorough job.
Securing an exceptionally in
telligent Indian, whose Indian
name is Nezcoy, but who is
known to the white men by the
unromantic name of Johnny
Jackson, MacDonald made a re
connaissance trip to the Nabes
| na and later located the line.
During the process of the work,
Nezcoy told the interestingly
weird tales of the region, and
gave the Indian names of the
local landmarks. At lunchtime,
Nezcoy, who had a more marked
appreciation of the beautiful
than most white men, always in
sisted on climbing to high
ground and there, with the
country of his fathers spread
out before him, told the tales
connected with the landmarks
within vision. Mount Sanford,
for instance, bears the eupho
nious name of Klealthanny,
which means the Mountain of
the Tailed Man. Truly an Edgar
Rice Burroughs name. The In
dians have the amazing story
that when they first came to
this section they found it al
ready occupied by a race of
tailed men. Men of a very low
! order, who, beastlike, lived in
dens in the ground and did not
use fire.
The invading chief engaged
chief of the tailed men in bat
tle and killed him. To his as
tonishment the next day the
dead chief—alive and hearty,
jeered at him on the trail. Once
more the tailed man was killed,
and this time the invaders cut
him up in small pieces. But
again he reappeared and again
the process was repeated. As I
they dropped the tail, the end j
flipped off some 200 feet into
the brush. The victorious chief,
amazed at this, secured the
lively tail end and chopped it
up fine and burned it, Where
upon a voice from the hashed
remains came, saying, “I am
done; this is the end.” And so
the Indians, still fearing anoth
er resurrection, piled brush, re
fuse, and debris on the shattered
j remains. They camped there all
winter, piling everything there.
The mound became higher and
higher and glaciated, becoming
eventuallyy, Mt. Sanford, or
Klealthahne, or the mausoleum j
of the tailed men.
I The located line from Slana
passes back of Batzulnetas and
to the head of Platinum Creek
through a pass known as the
Pass of the Last Battle. Here
the local tribes were defeated
and almost destroyed by an in
vading host from Nenana. This
battle was not so many years
ago and the shattered trees at
the camp site are still visible.
A wonderful legend of revenge
and battle between two chiefs,
Geehanguy—the Eagle, chief of
the local tribes, and Tatahday,
“The Man who Moved the
Mountain,” is told in this con
nection. But that, as Rudyard
Kipling says, “is another story.”
“The climate in this area,
MacDonald said, “is quite re
markable. The snow lessens as
the height increases. The pass
at the head of Platinum is al
most bare of snow, when 1,500
feet lower there may be sever
al feet. The summer climate is .
delightful—cool and compara
tively bugless. It is also rela- j
tively dry.”
The proposed line, from an j
engineering standpoint, will j
constitute one of the most di-;
i rect lines with the lowest grades j
of any line crossing a summit [
of similar elevation in the Ter- j
ritory.
