LOST IN THE GREAT UNKNOWN
Gold n Thrilling Experience
I'm the Land of the Mid
night sun.

Ore Of the most remarkable and fruitful
exploration trips into the very heart of the
Land Of the Midnight Sun, embracing terri
tory never before visited by white travel
ers, has Just ended In the return to Denver
Of Charles L. Smith, a train dispatcher.
who was caught by the "Klondike fever"
ten years ago and was lost in the great
unknown north.
Making his way alone through and be-
yond the valley of the Mackenzie river
into the Arctic circle, he spent years in the
land which has hitherto been known only
in the Imagination. He has returned with
a knowledge which will be eagerly grasped
at by scientists and geographers and which
" i'll furnish abundant matter for an intelli-
gent study Of conditions obtaining in the
farthes north.
Most important OF the wanderers dis
coveries lie, perhaps. a vast field Of copper
ore stretching COO miles or more beyond
Great Slave lake, reaching to the shores
of Great Bear lake. Ore in this field, de-
clares Smith, will assay from so to 30 per
cent. Banks of a small river which flows
through this belt are, for a height Of eight

or ten feet, literally formed Of almost pure
ocean, asserts Smith, islands for many
miles out are formed Of copper ore, washed
into the ocean by the stream. At Fort
Norman, far south of the ore belt and
many miles east, the compass needle points
forty miles west of true north. This ap-
parent phenomenon has long been puzzlinG
to scientists. The diversion OF the needle
is now accounted for by Smith In the pres,
ence Of the copper belt, which, no doubt,
acts as a magnet powerful enough at that
distance to divert the compass needle.
The resources of the great field of copper
ore in dollars and cents Smith does not
attempt to compute, That it reaches far
into almost impossible millions goes with
out saying.
Thinking to reach the KlondIke fields by
a land route not taken by other parties,
Smith touched at Edmonton, a small town
In the province OF Alberta, in western
Canada. From here he Travelled 100 miles
by stage to Athabasca Landing. Here he
chose to reach the Arctic ocean by means
Of the Athabasca river, and down this he
Travelled in a nineteen-foot boat.
Losing his bearings. he crossed Great
Slave lake, 200 miles down the river, into
Great Slave river, and eventually into the
u~ntraveled land adjacent to the Mackenzie
river.
In the valley OF the Mackenzie he was
lost. He was unarmed. alone and-what
was his greatest hardship OF all-out of

After spending some time in roaming
about these fields, Smith found himself
back in the land of the Cree Indians and
the neighborhood of the Grand Rapids.
Here the fall OF the river is 50 feet to the
half mile. The Indians speed down the
river in their canoes at the rate of 40 miles
an hour. Near are iron, coal and limestone
fields which hold vast fortunes to those
who can find the way to take advantage
OF them.
Many OF the Indians never saw a COM
mon housefly until the white man in the
territory brought the fly into the land,
In July the bulldog fly, resembling the
horsefly, invades the country, but a large
bug appears in August and devours this
insect.
Mosquitoes are found in abundance.
Smith said that five minutes after one had
gone into the forest the hand was the color
Of blood.
The Indians use the dog as the means
of transportation. A ride on a sleigh
drawn by four dogs and going at the rate
OF fifty or sixty miles a day sounds very
inviting to the average American, but
when the practical, real experience is re.
vealed, II loses some Of its attractiveness
Mr.. Smith gives a vivid description of such
a ride. First, the food for the dogs is
packed. They live on fish, four dogs eat
ing ten a day. Then our own food is
packed and the utensils, blankets, extra
clothing, etc. When all is in we find that
there is a good 400 pounds, and this is the
limit Of our dogs ability to draw. We
must be content to follow behind on snow
shoes, and II we cover twenty or thirty
miles in one day we are doing fine. Oft
entimes the dogs give out and we are COM
PEELED TO leave them behind TO either starve
or be picked up by the Indians. ! nave
slept out in the open without fear, only
the trees and blue sky above, when the
thermometer registered 81 degrees below
zero and my only covering was two pairs
Of blankets"
The Indians OF the land OF the midnight
sun live, as we Americans would term II,
from hand to mouth" The head of the
family starts out with his gun and his
squaw and pappooses follow on behind
with dog sleigh. Wherever he kills a
moose there is his new home, and the
whole family feast and make merry until
the food supply gives out, and then II is
time to move once more.
Smith finally found his way to the Arctic
ocean, and there his journey home began.
He probably will be sent back by an ex-

WALKING PARTY THE LATEST
Canadian HOFtesses Pilot Professions
of Guests on Some Long
Tramps.

Did you ever near of a walking party?"
asked a New York young woman who had
just returned from a long stay in Canada.
mo, l don't mean little walking trips
across country in which a group OF per-
sons engage, but a form OF evenings en-
tertainment. Those Canadian girls seem
to be taking exercise continually and any
social affair is all the more enjoyable
across the border If it includes what seems
to some of us a lot Of hard work.
Invitations to a walking party are sent
out with just as much as II the
affair was to be a dance or a theater
party. 1t is essential for a perfect walking
party that there shall be an equal number
of young men and young women. Those
invited meet at the home Of the hostess
at the usual time for an evening affair.
The guests are paired off and the route
Of the walk is announced.
1T isn't any walk around the block by
any means. Five miles at the least. One
man acts as a master Of ceremonies and
he and his partner lead the procession from
the house. When the parade has moved a
certain specified distance the leader calls
a halt and turns his partner over to the
man of the next leading couple, Then each
man moves up one, the leader taking the
girl at the foot Of the line.
Thu march is resumed until the next
stage is reached and then another change
OF partners goes into effect. By the time
the party returns to the house there has
been usually a complete change of part
ners all around.
This Isn't any summer amusement. In
fact, a tramp through the snow with the
thermometer down near zero
is considered awfully good sport. But be
1t summer or winter, the participants in a
walking party return ready to enjoy the
supper which winds up the evening.
lone thing against these walking parties,
to my mind, is the continual changing OF
partners. You no sooner get interested In
your companion than you have to turn him
over TO another girl. Maybe you draw
a good partner at the start and a fcw
minutes later get a stick. OF course 1t is
eminently fair to every Girl and to every
man, but some girls, you know, delight in
being unfair when there is a man in the
case. Al an aid TO filtration these walk
ing parties aren't worth one OF those bis
Canadian cents you see some times, but
as an exerciser they are all TO the good.
And after all, the exercise is What these
Canadians are looking for.
Tn not sure that I won't try one of
these walking parties here in New York.
How would such a procession look coming
down Broadway some fine evening when
the theaters are going in? A change of
partners at Broadway and Forty-second
street would sure surprise the usual
hangerson at that corner. 1t might be an
agreeable change from some OF the things
we get so tired of in this town"
