River three hundred miles to Fairbanks. the
newest and one of the most active mining
camps in all Alaska. From Fairbanks he fol-
lowed the Upper Tanana and crossed the divide.
then followed the Copper River Valley and over
the Coast Ranges and at last came out north OF
Valdez, looking down upon the Pacific to the
south with the great Valdez glacier to his right.
From Nome to Valdez he covered a distance or
about $50 miles. In the entire distance he
passed through only few small villages and
one important camp, but for most OF this long
journey he found little log cabins at intervals Of
fifty or sixty miles. THESE are government
supplied in the fall with food for men and dogs
by the government, and each mail carrier Is eX-
pected TO make the distance between two of
these cabins each day. They are for the ac-
commodation Of the "rnusher' and his faithful
animals, and he Is welcome to eat IN them but
must carry nothing away.
Smith placed tho dogs and sled on ocean
going vessel at Valdez for the trip TO Seattle, for
the ocean here is open all winter. This meant
a sea voyage of about 1000 miles along the
coast Of the great peninsula and through the
archipelago Of Southeastern Alaska. Arriving at
Seattle. he had still almost 5000 miles of hard
driving across the continent before reaching the
capital For a good part of the way there IS no
snow, and wheels must be placed on the sled.
This was a great hardship for the 'musher"
and the dogs, used 10 snow and ice. They
crossed three great mountain systems and many
minor chains To one less used 10 hardships tho
task of working their way over the passes Of
the Cascades and the Rocky Mountains would
seem impossible, but the trails in Alaska cross
mountains more terrible and passes more rough.
and the Alaskan "musher' does not hesitate TO
attack every obstacle that lies in the way of his
Journey.
Coming down out OF the mountains Smith had
hundreds of miles TO cross on the great plains
of Montana, the Dalkotas and Minnesota, and ut
last reached the pine regions Of Minnesota and
Wisconsin. Passing through the rich farming
regions OF Illinois. Indiana and Ohio. he sntsrsd
