Sixty-One Below Zero. And around them, above them, a blue of such deep and vivid intensity that the dweller upon the surface of the earth, even in Italy, can have no conception of it, say the voyagers. “The lowest temperature recorded by our thermometer,” said Dr. Berson, “was 61 de- grees below zero, Fahrenheit. We were prepared for it, of course, having set out with the intention of going very high; but it caused us severe suffering, nevertheless. Our breath congealed in the nostrils, and cur beards grew heavy with hoar frost. “That plunge out of the humid warmth of London into an arctic temperature was rather trying, but intensely exhilarating. The extreme cold had the wholesome effect of moderating the physical transports in- duced by the raretied atmosphere, but as |we g r this had its dangerous as- and at an altitude of 25,000 feet we were glad io use the compressed oxygen which we had carried with us in tubes. Otherwise we should not have survived the trip. ‘he Record Ascension. The one ascension whose record exceeds that of Dr. Berson and Mr. Spencer was also made in England, ard for scientific purpo: Its hero was Prof. James Glais- cher, a fellow of the Royal Society, to whom the science of aeronautics owes t much. On September 5, 1862, Mr. Glaischer, ac- companied by an experienced aeronaut named Coxwell, reached an altitude of i 000 feet, or nearly two miles higher than Berson and Spencer. It was a perilous Voyage, and the scien- tist nearly paid for his enthusiasm with his life. At.a height of five and one-half miles, little more than was reached today, Prof. Glaisener gradually lost the use of his limbs until at length he became totally insensible. Coxwell at this time had climb- ed up to the ring of the balloon in a frantic | effort to free the valve rope, which had be- | come entangled so that it was impossible to descenc The acronaut’s hands became frozen and powerless, and not until he had dropped back into the car and poured branay over them was the cireuliion restored.

Tells of His Long Journey. 3 POST OFFICES, ESTABLISHED ee Some of the “Interesting and Ex- citing Scenes. THE GOLD FIELDS ———— The clerks in the Post Office Department are bowing low to Inspector John P. Clum and addressing him as Pooh Bah. The name, they claim, is apropos, since Inspect- or Clum was recently possessed of the authority usually vested in the Congress, the President and the Postmaster General. All this cam2 through his selection last March as the special inspector of the Post Office Department for duty in Alaska. The desire of Uncle Sam to assist his people in every way possible led to the appointment. Word had bezn received of the great crowd of prospectors about to enter the Klondike 1cgicns in the spring, and realizing the necessity of adequate postal arrangements, it was decided to send a trusted official into the region. No one knew the condition: and the requirements of the service w an unknown quantity. So it became nece. sary, in ordering an inspector to the far nerthwest, to endow him with absolute authorit He was, in reality, the whole thing, with powers to create post offices, appoint postmasters, discharge; in fact, do everything which, in his power, would’ r dound to the good of the ally, he traveled over 10, ka, and brought back a record of thirteen new post offices. This was all done within the space of six months Had he been handicapped by government red taps, littl of this would have been accomplished, and the excellent mail service he was in: mental in establishing would have be2n embryonic. ° Tells of His Trip. Inspector Clum arrived y. looks well and hearty after hi perience in our far-away possession. In conversation with a reporter of The Star today he said: es, I am glad to get back home. My na very pleasant one, however, I withstood the rigors of the north bet~ than I anticipated. The department in Washington, finding it could not handle the conditions and emergencies of the mails so far away, and handicapped by the lack of telegraph and transpourtait facilities, concluded to send a repre tive to the region with almost autc powe This was nec since and rough ex- terday, 5 we knew nething of local conditions, and im- mediate a ction might proved to be the cas given authority to to the department’ much of the good work I accomplished might have gone for naught. I left Washington March 9. My in Alaska was a complete reorganization of the service in the ‘southeastern part of be necessary. This , and had I not 1 t without referenc the territory. At Skaguay and Dyea I found the mails im a wretched state. They were congested, and had umultated in large numbei of th: mail It was practically the end vice, with no arrang 3 for supplying the people in the interior with letters from home. This congestion was due to the rush 0: pass, and it v cme time before £ could straighten th out.

A Fatal Avalanche. To go beck for a moment to Staguay, I was treated here to a surprise. The town is small, to be sure, but not unlike the min- ing camps in the west which I visited in the seventics. re seemed co be an abundance of food on hand and quite de- cent meals ained for 50 cent Earlier in th: infermed price had been exce but the arrivel of large quantities of stores sent them down. On this side of the Chilcoot Pa: blished four offices. One was at Haines, near the Presbyterian Mission, another at Pyramid one at Canyon City and one at Sheep Camp. ‘This last named office fs the last station Just before the big Chilcoot Ps I found between 6,00) and $,000. people camped here. It was in this locality that the fatal avalanche occurred which killed over fifty 1 I arrived two cays after the slide and a in the rescue of the bodies. There were upward of 1,500: men engaged in this work of rescue ‘and not one ever dreamed of compensation. ‘They worked day and night for the rescue of their fellow man. Fifty-four men were ken out. They were removed to Sheep Camp, znd some sent to Dyea for burial. The scene of the avalanche is a magnificent canyon between 400 and 500 feet wide. Great mountains of snow rise almost per- pendiculur en each side. There had been reports of snow sliding for several days, and the people who were camped in the pass began to move out. Those who were caught were just beginning to break camp. No one can have any conception of the power of a saow slide. The one to which I refer came as a mighty torrent down the mountain side and swept with the velocity of the wind through the pass, completely blocking it, and spent its force on the other mountain side. The snow was slight- ly damp and packed in a compact ma The best idea J can give you of its condi- tion is to tell of the rescue of one of the bodies. We had been digging for some time when one of the men called out that a body had been found. It was carefully uncovered. and the stcw removed. Every part of the body was free except the right foot, and so firmly was the snow packed that it could not be lifted out until it was also uncovered. Those poor fellows who lost their lives never suffered a moment's pain. They were irstantaneous.y smother- ed. Think 6f thousands of tons of snow forty feet deep being piled on a human being. Some Rescued Alive. Strange as it may seem, three or four men were rescued alive. They had fallen within the protection! of some object, and by some miraculous power escaped. I re- call one fellow was under a whisky bar- rel, another under a’ shelving rock, while the third was under his tent, which was not disturbed. The big ayaldnche was followed by a severe storm, and when I climbed the Chilcoot Pass a severe snow storm was raging. The thing t6 do in Alaska is to keep the feet and hands warm. Mine were bundled up snugly inseveral pairs of gloves and three or four sets of stockings. An overcoat is a handicap, Canvas lined cloth- ing keeps out the wind better than any other material I know of. The great hard- ships of the Klopdike were on the trails. When you think of carrying a ton of pro- visions over a véry Yough country in tue severest weather you get a slight idea of the difficulties. A man usually carried a hundred pounds a mile and then returned f6r the remainder, making, you see, forty trips to the mile. Another thing that ‘struck me as quite remarkable was the ho.esty of the prospectors. A man would leave his pack in a cache and go back for the re- mainder without once troubling himself about a guard. I did not find the trip over the Chilcoot Pass difficult. It is rather an exhilarating exercise, on the contrary. There is about ten miles of it. And what a heterogeneous mass of people I encoun- tered. Men, women and children, several of the latter still in babyhood, all strug- gling to fall within the Influence of that fickle Dame Fortune. As I said, honesty is the unwritten law of the country, and everybody is given a fair chance. I crossed Chilcoot Pass in May and loaded my be- longings on dog teams and started for Cratér lake. After passing this I came to Deep lake and Long lake, which I passed on the ice, both having frozen over since I started. At Lake Lindermann I waited for the Ice to go out, and then headed for Daw.

Every kind of amusement is provided for the returning ‘miners. There are 15,000 people there, and everything is wild and woolly, as we used to say of the west. There is a good class of buildings, and the improvements which are being made are first class. The streets are filled with a surging mass from 9 a.m. until 2 a.m, No, 1 did not see much suffering. The people who crossed -the pass last year, you will remember, were required to carry at least a year’s supply of provisions, and these fared well. From Dawson we visited the Klondike river and its tributaries, El Dorado, Bonanza, Bear and Hunker. They -are from twelve to fifty miles from Daw- son. Every claim along their banks is taken, and the prospector—I mean the poor man who goes to develop mines—has a hard time. Many of these claims are no good. They were staked out by speculators to sell. Before I tell you anything else let me speak of that pest of pests, the mosquito. ‘There ave two varieties there, the big and little fellows. The big ones are not near 80 troublesome as the little tormentors. ; see the pesky little insects They are the most persistent’insect T ever saw. All they want is a chance, and no matter how slim, they take it, and you get stung. The people wear veils, but they do not entirely relieve the situation. You can coming at you never seem to tire, but beat against the veils each time with more determination, it appears, to get at you. The only way you can get relief is to sit in a dense smoke, and this is the way you eat your meals. I don’t know which is the greater objection. It is wearing on the herves to fight these mosquitoes all the time, and I have seen big, strong men sit down utterly helpless from the contint ttacks. Gold dust is the coin of all the time.

It is at the same time a rich and a poor man’s country. There are many big enterprises, and at the ‘Treadwell mine I saw a number of modern stamp mills, and was informed that the number was shortly to be largely in- creased. Enough gold has been taken out of this mine alone to pay what Alaska cost the United States. Post Oftices Extablished. “On the Yukon I established seven new post offices. They are as follows: Eagle, Star, Yukon, Rampart, Tanana, Koyukuk and Anvik. There is no money order of- fice beyond the Chilcoot Pass, but we have extended the service to southeast Alaska. Dyea, by the way, holds the record as a fourth-class post office for money order: It did over $5,000 worth of business in cne day. We have arranged to have two mails a month between Juneau and Tanana by way of the Chilcoot Pass. This is a dis- tance of 1,600 miles. Between Tanana and St. Michaels we have one trip a month throughout the entire year. This cakes in the entire Yukon river.
