ALasKA's SILENT CITY,"
Wonderful Mirage That Is Said 10
Have Been Photogr phed.


Have Been Photosr aphed.
One of the best stories regarding a
mirage Is that told IN Ahlska cuncern-
ing the appearance of II city ID tile sky.
This silent city" Is said to have NC
tually been photographed. and. though
there IL; are skentics. enough people claim
to have seen it to make the story inter
esting.
The tlrst account Of this city OF ST.
ence" was told by prospector named
Willoughby. He was Il miner In Cali
forna and went to Alaska, where he
settled In the vicinity of Muir glacier.
In fact. it was Willoughby who pilot
ed Professor Muir when he assembled
the immense ice field which now bears
the scientists name Wiiloughby nl-
ways told the story OF this city which
appeared In the sky with much ear
nestness, and he carried Il photograph
which he said he took after several
visits to the spot whence the vision
could be seen.
When Wlloughby first went to Alas
ka natives told him that at certain
times of the year when the days were
longest and the atmospheric conditions
right they saw suspended In the heav-
ems town with streets. houses ana
many different kinds of buildings So
| IMPRESSED was he that he engaged the
Indians to take him to the place where
the city could be seen, and In their Gu
noes Travelled to the spot.
After several attempts WiliougnDy
at length saw this, silent city," as the
natives called IL. sHe said that the ut
mosphere was SO clear that mountains
many miles away seemed near ana
that MS he gazcd the outlines OF city
gradually assumed shape. and puiiu-
ing after building came to view. he
distinctly saw tall office buildings
churches and spires. houses and ev-
cry indication that the city was IN
habited but. though he saw u severa'
times, he could never detect human
being. A halo of light seemed to COW

and gradually receded. SO cohVihce'
was he that he was looking ~ tne
mirage of an actual city that he made
records to show that he had been Oh
