 | w. Gordon Campbell, California boy who recently returned from the Tanana country, probably had as hard and thrilling an experience in that district as almost any prospector in Alaska. Together with a companion, Warren Merritt, he lived for forty eight days last winter on rabbits. Incidently two grouse, four eagles eggs and a goose was added to this bill of fare, in addition to a stray lean, lank dog that chanced to wander into camp, but otherwise it was rabbit three times day. Tue men went into the country on prospecting tour. They were very successful. They found dirt as rich as 20 cents per pan and staked out eight cen claims on the Chisana River, head waters of the Tanana. The winter was a mild one, and while going down Jack Creek the ice broke and the prospectors lost everything but guns and blankets. It was life and death struggle then until they reached Tanana Crossing, where there is government telegraph station. After great deal of hard labor they succeeded in constructing 3 raft eighteen feet long and three feet wide. Strapping guns and blankets on this. they were able to make much better time, although their parapher- nalia was wet from the time they start ed until the end of the journey. Mer- ritt. who is older than Campbell, could not get off the raft unassisted when the crossing was finally reached. Prior to reaching their destination they did not taste food for twenty-four hours. What few rabbits they were able to get before that time were for the most part dis eased, and the two men were in ter rible condition. MT. Campbell, in spite of the trouble he had in the north, is going back just as soon as he can get another outft.-Seattle Times.
