Smashing Miles Canyon aud White Horse
Rapids ON the Yukon.

Smashing Miles Canyon aud White Horse
Rapids on the Yukon.
This canyon was named by the late
Lieutenant Frederick Sohwatka in
honor of General Nelson A. Miles,
who had been instrumental in send.
ing him ON his trip to the Yukon in
1883. The river, which has been
about 800 feet wide, suddenly CON
tracts to about one tenth of that
width, and, increasing its velocity
\ TO 20miles an hour, rushes with ter
rifle force through.a canyon with alb
solutely perpendicular walls 100 feet
high. The canyon is only three quar-
I. tsrs OF a mile long, and at it's lower
and the river spreads out into a
series of rapids, eliminating three
miles below in the White Horse.
There are two ways of passing this
GaRyon---one, by portaging over the
hill ON the east bank, and the other,
by boldly running through. We had
sean both ways of passing Miles
canyon, one requiring four days, and
the other two minutes We three
looked at each other in an inquiring
sort of way, and then without a
word walked down to where the
Nancy Hanks was mCOred against
The bank. All took their places,
knealing and facing the bow, MoCon-

and l forward. The oars were placed
on board, and each of us used an or
ginary canoe paddle.

Sicker in my life than as we showed

that We hardly knew how it happen
sd Barely missing the big rock at
the mouth of the canyon, the boat
started on its wild ride. The walls
scanned to fairly fly past US, and aft
III starting we heard cheer from
the rocks above, but did not dare
look up By frantic padding we
kept In the middle and off from the
canyon walls. The sensation was akin
so that of riding a bucking bronoho.
There was not dry spot on one of
US when we got through, and the
boat had taken on so much water
that she nearly foundered before we
could bail her out. But a great
weight was off our minds, for Miles
canyon, more than all other things, is
dreaded by Yukon travellers. From
