a matter of little consequence, but
people are beginning to learn that a

serious diseases start with a cold. As
soon as the first indication of cold

PR OSPECTOR STARTS
ON LONG TRIP IN
ARCTIC NIGHT
LONGEST JOURNEY EVER UN
DERTAKEN WITHOUT
ASSISTANCE

TANANA, Alaska, Feb. s. -
Bound for an isolated gold claim
far to the north on the Arctic
slope, a lone prospector, Martin
Josephson, left here today with
his dog team to "mush" on foot
in the half-dark Arctic winter
over the difficult snow trail to
BEETLES, Alaska, and on farther
into the country beyond the polar
line.
Tanana prospectors say Joseph
sons trip is n of the longest
ever undertaken by one mar alone.
Josephson, however, has sought for
gold before along the Arctic, from
the Kobuk to the Mckenzie coun-
tries, and has even prospected in
Greenland, so his friends here are
not going to worry about his
safety.
Josephson's gold claim is on the
Anactuvuk river, a tributary of
the Colville river on the Arctic
slope. There are no white men or
Indians or Eskimos on the Anactu-
vuk, Josephson said before he left
here.
After leaving here Josephson
will have to travel 112 miles to
Alatna before he finds n white
residents. There is a roadhouse
at Alatna, the first roadhouse on
the BEETLES trail north from here.
From Alatna Josephson will "mush
on" SO miles to BEETLES. At Bet
ties he expects to get a gasoline
drill which he shipped in last sum-
mer.
