RIVERS BOILING
WATER FOUND IN
NORTH COUNTRY
Almost Tropical Valley
Discovered By a Min
ing Engineer In British
Columbia

Edmonton. Alberta, Aug. 1.-DiscOv-
cry of an almost tropical valley with
rivers of boiling water, many mineral
springs. abnormal plant growth and
abounding with game in far northern
British Columbia is reported by Frank
Perry, mining engineer of Vancouver,
back after seventeen years prospect
ing the wiprd valley close to the Iu-
kon border. The area covered by Mr..
Perry during his long soiourn in the
cold north country. is roughly 200
miles north and south and 800 miles
wide between the COstal range and the
Lizard and Fort Nelson rivers.
The unusual sight of Il heavy fog in
winter attracted him to the valley
and later exploration showed it to be
approximately 200 miles long and
about 40 miles wide. Rivers of hot
water ran through it fed by hundreds
of hot springs, which hubbled out of
the ground in all directions, the steam
from these being condensed on rising,
forming the fog which he had first
seen on the range crest.
MIR. Perry reported he saw many
wild animals. These congregated for
the luxuriant vegetation made possible
by the heat from the rivers and in
the valley were mountain sheep and
goats, caribou and moose with bears
and other fur-bearng animals. These
were almost square from fat, SO tame
he could walk among them and could
almost touch them, he said.
The tree growth in the valley was
abnormal. Mr. Perry states. The ordi-
nary wild rose bushes were like trees
with stems as thick as mans fore
arm and so dense that it was impoS-
sible to force a way through, while
the willows grew to tree sizes and
it was possible to walk along the
branches. Some of the trunks of the
latter We're fully foot and a half
through: vines grew to length of
about 60 feet and nettles and ferns
were both of unusual height.
Another peculiar feature was that
the valley was free from frost in the
winter time owing to the boiling
springs and consequent vapor.
