SAN DIEGO, Cal, Feb. 23.-Sliced
peaches and cream lured her to the
United States this winter, yet she's
a regular "sour dough" gold miner
and recently was the first woman to
fly acros the Arctic circle.
Such delicacies are not Mrs. ID. NJ.
Wheeler's regular menu in Alaska.
She eats "hard tack" with the rest
Of the boys. And she stands shoul-
der to shoulder with her partners
in developing one of the finest gold
mines in the northland.
Yes, she's q grandmother; but that
doesn't keep her at home. The
frozen north lures, so why shouldn't
she answer the call?
From the land of perpetual frost,
so miles inside the Arctic circle, she
came to California for the winter,
leaving the male members" of the
Koyukuk Mining company on the
property.
Arrived Penniless
Mrs. Wheeler landed in Alaska IL
years z without a thin dime. Nor
did she have a thick dime. She had
auctioned her furniture in Winnipeg
and boarded the boat at Seattle with
a ticket and "a dollar six bits" Four
days she went hungry in Fairbanks
before she got q job.
Then she found employment, and
has been doing a mans work ever
since.
Mrs. Wheeler looks like the pro-
verbal "sorr dough" Of whom one
reads in tales Of the north. Yet
there is a light in her eyes that
speaks Of no fear of the fierce, driv-
ing snow that swirls around a frozen
sled on those wastes
Travels In Plane
Nor should she feel any fear Of
such travel. for she move about
Alaska in an airplane. The plane
lands on the snow on skis and takes
off as easily for her mine.
She went to Alaska searching for
adventure and found the land Of
her dreams. Her children live in
San Diego. but they will not keep
her from the land OF her choice.
at pleases me to live there" she
says. why should everything ex>
citing in life be reserved for mere
men? / always have had the love
Of adventure. My father was a pros
pector. and from early %girlhood it
has been my ambition to battle ma
ture for her treasures.
