 Valdez.-Five hundred feet down a crevasse in the great Valdez glacier have been discovered the bodies of six burros making up the pack train of party of Eastern prospectors who start ed for the Copper river country from this port thirteen years ago and were lost in what was then all utterly un- known wilderness. w. H. Crary, musher, who was travelling over the glacier, made the discovery. The depths of the crevasse were momentarily il- luminated by the sun as Crary crossed it and he caught sight of the burros. With the aid of his binoculars he sscer- tained that the bodies were in perfect state of preservation and equipped with pack saddles and packs. He could not discover any human bodies, but it is believed that the owners of the pack train perished in the crevasse and an attempt will be made as soon as the weather moderates to descend into the Assure and learn whether such was the case. The crevasse is far from the old Copper river trail, and this leads to the conjecture that the doomed prospectors lost their ssway and perished on the treacherous ice field. Old-timers here recollect that one of several parties who were lost here in the early days was equipped with burro pack train. but nobody remembers the names of the mem bers of the expedition.
