MOUNT M'kINLEY.
For First Time White Man Reached
Its Stones

Mount Mckinley, the highest noun
tain on the North American continent
was visited last season by Alferd H
Brooks and his party from the Unitec
States geological survey, of which D. L.
Reabur was topographer- AS far as
is known this is the first time the slopes
of the peak have been reached by white
men. though in 1888 its altitude and
moisture were determined from a. dis
tance by Robert Muldrow, of the same
survey.
The mountain is located near the
western margin of the Alaskan range,
the general name given to the large
mountain mass which separates the
Yukon and Kuskowim waters from
Cook inlet drainage. 1t is a great dome
shaped mountain, formed of intrusive
rock, towering to an elevation of 10000
feet above sea level.
Though its summit reaches 50 high an
altitude, almost four miles above tide,
it probably is not difficult of ascent
as some other Alaskan mountains, for
example. Mount St. Elias, because of its
relatively high snow line.
The season was well advanced, much
of his itinerary had still to be carried
out and as it was not part of the orig
inal plan. Mr.. Brooks did not attempt
to pass the snow line. although this
point was reached Now that the loca-
ton and height of the mountain have
been established by the exploration of
the geological survey, travellers and in
dividual explorers will doubtless soon
attempt to reach the summit.-Wash-
