 Joe Jackson arrived from the Clearwater Landing on the Hazel B. at Wrangell recently. In com pany with Jack Williams, he had just finished six weeks prospect ing trip on the Iskut. The two men travelled through rough country where the going was hard. At one time they were 23 hours without water. While essaying a difficult climb over mountain ridge they found themselves on narrow prec- ipice. A glacier was on one side and the Iskut river on the other, but it. took hours of perilous work to get down to the river. During the 23 hours they had to depend on the juice of blueberries for liq- uid refreshments. The men found much mineralized country but on account of it's inaccessibilfty none of 1t was rich enough, they be- lieved, to warrant expending time and energy in stalking claims and doing development work.
