TO SEARCH FOR
MINER'S BODY
Reed McCarty, Old Prospector,
May Have Been Drowned
by Wolves
Tin; initioi's of Birch in
the Circle district, arc planum#
to start an immediate search for
the body of "Rod" McCarty, the
miner and prospector who was
lost last fall and of whom no
trace could be found. According
to Frank Hines, the mail carrier,
who reached town recently. This
was the information gained while
at Twelvcmile roadhouse, the
last place where the missing man
slopped before starting out on
the mush that is believed to have
resulted in his death.
McCarty was a prospector on
Birch creek, and had a cabin al
the mouth of Great Unknown
creek, a tributary lo it. During
the early winter his winter's out
fit was freighted to the cabin by
Andy Worden, the freighter. It
was at this time that il was dis
rovercd that he had not reached
his cabin, although he left
Twelvcmile with a dog and a park
of blankets and a little food on
October 2\>.
Immediately a senrehing parly
w;i*s organized and an attempt
made lo tind a traee of the miss.
jn,r prospector. A| a cabin about
six iiiili-s below Mccarty's on
Birch creek. I lie searching parly
found the remnants of a lunch
thai lie had obtained ill Twelve
mile. They also found his dog
harness. Subsequently, after
snow had fallen on I lie ground
and covered up most of the
fresher I races. the searchers
found pieces of a fur cap I hat
was known to have been worn
by McCarty. The fur was lorn
and ragged and appeared to have
been mutilated by squirrels.
Despite (he strenuous efforts
made to locale McCarly's body.
I he searchers were finally forced
lo give up. Deputy Marshal
Hansen, while on a I rip to Circle
from Fairbanks, made a short trip
up Birch creek and endeavored
lo find I races of Ihe man, but the
deep snow caused him to give up
the attempt until Ihe snow had
melted.
During Ihe month of December
a dog strayed lo Fairbanks creek
from the hills in the direction of
Birch creek. The animal had a
wound in its head thai resembled
a bullet mark. Brought to Chat
anika, the dog was identified as
the one McCarty had bought
Iliere before selling out for Birch
creek.
It is believed I hat Ihe snow has
"moiled sufficiently bv this time
£o that the searching party will
f}ot have great trouble in locat
ing the body of the missing pros
pector.
