MUIR GLACIER
IS STILL INTACT
Damage TO Its Appearance
Was Only Temporary
IT rs STILL THE KING
Alaska's Greatest OF Glaciers is Still
1T is STILL THE KING
AIaslka's Greatest Of Glaciers is Still
As Grand and Majestic As It Ever
Was--Trouble Caused BY the Fact
Steamers Could Not Get Near It.

AL skans and northern tourists will
learn with delight that Muir glacier has
not been damaged, but stands today, as
for ages past, grand and majestic, the
great king of glaciers. Amongst the
passengers on recent excursion trip
was William 4. Pearce, OF the Pacific
Coast company, and in speaking OF the
glacier, he said:
"The statement that Muir glacier was
seriously damaged by the earthquake of
a year ago is untrue. 1t is just as grand
as ever, but the trouble this season has
been that vessels have not been able to
get close enough for passengers to see
it, On Aug. we got within four miles
Of it. and can sayit is the same old
glacier. The earthquake did take off
large masses of ice from tae face. and
these floating in the bay appear as huge
icebergs and block the passage. of ves-
sells, but next season the bay will be
clear and the glacier can be approached
as in former years. The damage by the
earthquake is but as drop in the buck
ct. or can better explain its work by
saying that it took off the face probably
fifty feet, while the main body extends
back, visible to the eye. twenty miles.
The report of its destruction is all
wrong. The glacier extends from its
face on Glacier bay back to the head of
Davidson glacier, which faces on Lynn
canal, distance of As miles. All this
season Muir inlet has been full of small
bergs so that vessels after proceeding
as far as they can are forced to back
out. On our August trip the surface of
the glacier looked to be from twenty
five to thirty feet high, but in reality ii
it from 100 to 200 feet high. Next year
we will be able to get close to it and will
find it just as large and grand as at any
time in its existence.
