The last trace of doubt of the death
of Virgil V. Lowery, formerly of Can
ton, In the bleak mountains of Alaska,
has been wiped away. The story of
his wanderings in the practically un-
explored regions of the far north told
in the News-Democrat several months
ago has been confirmed by letter re-
ceived by the parents of the young
man., Mr. and Mrs. w. C. Lowery of
Mapleton, from ID. A. Mckenzie, United
States commissioner for the district of
Alaska. Lowery left home a poor boy.
At his death he was q rich man. He
owned valuable claims in the gold fields
which brought him in large income.
The United States marshal at Coldfoot
has offered 800 worth of -four to the
Indians and traders If they find
the body, but there is no possibility
of this until The snow and ice melt in
the hot months.
I.owery went to Alaska in search OF
fortune. After procuring several rich
claims he started out prospecting
with several goldseekers in the cold
est part of the year. In some man
ner he became separated from his COM
panions. Search after search was start
ed for him but he had evidently frozen
to death and his body been covered
with snow and ice. The icy mountains
have guarded their secret well and it
is probable that the body of the un-
fortunate will never be found
Dated April 16 and written from
Coldfoot, Alaska, the letter to the par
ents of the missing man is as follows:
1t is with regret that | find it my
duty to inform you-or rather to con-
firm what you already know about the
loss of your son Virgil. There is no
probable chance of his being alive. His
friends at his home here, at Coldfoot,
have given up all hope of his ever re-
turning alive. l wish to extend my
sympathy to you. Virgil was stu
dious, sober and industrious young
