Sandy Smith Visits vashon
Island

of a freshh gold-strike in the Ruby
district of Alaska, so 1t is interesting
to record that the prospcctor who,
many years ago, located that mining
outpost, was on last Sunday a visitor
IN Burton where your correspondent
had the privilege Of meeting him.
His name Is Alexander Malcolm
Smith; so was he christened in his
native Scotland mora years ago than
would &c guessed from the sturdy
athletic appearance of The man, but is
better known to his host Of friends
throughout the north US Sandy
Smith"
SANDY Smith" holds the record OF
having blazed more trails in Canada
and Alaska than possibly any other
living man, for while famous explorers
have gone into and come out of the
Attic, Sandy has lived continuously
there for all of fifty years.
As member of the Explorers Club
of America he is acquainted with near
ly all the eminent travellers of the
North, and has assisted many of them
in their exploits, friend of Amundsen,
Wilkins, Steffensen and others who
have won fame in the Attic.
At the beginning of the famous
Klondike rush a decade ago, having
acquired such thorough knowledge Of
Northern geography because of his
long employment with the Hudson's
Bay Fur Company, the government of
Canada employed him as guide for
the Northwest Mounted Police, in this
adventure he pioneered thousands of
miles Of wilderness for the red jackets,
and during years following nearly
every active honest enterprise of the
North was sampled Sandy Smith"
numbering, mining. store-keeping, be-
sides exploring, locating camps and
eventually achieving new fame by dis
covering the famous seepage of crude
oil. which yet awaits development in
the Artic.
Sandy has gone over the divide which
carries the rivers in their flow north
weird towards the pole, he has harness.
ed himself to a sled and dragged 1t for
one thousand miles on Yukon ice and
SNOW, has spent many a winter season
at Point Barrow the most northern
part of all settlements, he has fought
the storms and billiards of the winters
for SO many years he well understands
the reasons which handicap those who
try to overcome the Artic, the advan-
tage, he AYERS will always be on the
side Of Nature in the North, that men
often fail to respect this fact explains
many tragedies in the Artic.
Asked If he would now linger in
warmer zones he replied that already
he is preparing to return to the land
OF his life's work.
Knowing that Sandy has reputa-
ton as lecturer, possessing wonder
full screen pictures of scenes few people
have seen, your correspondent eargly
inquired II he could be induced to re-
turn to the Island for farewell visit.
His interest in the Boy Scout move
ment makes him responsive to this in
yltation, so that 1t is possible arrange
ments will be made whereby the people
of the Island may have in the near
future the chance to hear and meet
this remarkable explorer of the
North countries, in benefit for the
Boy Scouts.
