Over Trail to Nc:::r
(Continued from Page 3.)
3 hours and 10 minutes, or over 8 miles
per hour. Tanaoa has a population of
about 100 natives aod whites; the loca
tion of »n Fptscopatian mission and the
abandoned military barracks of Fort
Gibbon.
03again in 25 minutes and we travel
day aod night on the Yukon. We are
acw in the country of heavy draft dogs,
the mail dogs of the Yukon; net fast,
but strong and steady. The drivers on
the Yukon will be, in some rases, men
of Indian blood. They, however, .'.peak
our own language and we do not think
of them as a strange or foreign race.
The midnight trip on the Yukon is
somewhat monotonous, through the
great stillness. These are even gaited
dogs, moving steadily at a little less
than six miles per hour, to K tiiand’s
camp, 34 miles distant; time, (> hours.
This place is a fish camp, where the
salman are caught iu summer and pre
pared for dog food. Soon we are on
the trail again aod eu down the Yukon
to Nine-mile point, 24 mile* away;
time. 3 honrs Again we transfer and
are off for Kokrines. 30 miles away.
The cold weather continues, out the
trail is in fair condition, and we reach
Kokrines, a native village of 80 people,,
in 6 hours. It will be noted ih ,t the
rate of speed oa the Yukon is about
the same in each relay, aod the reason
is that their dogs are all gaited to
hauling mail sleds. The usual mail
load is from 1.000 to 1.200 pour.dt, on
two sleds, one trailing behind the
other.
The relay from- Kokrines to Rubt.'M
miles, is- made in the unusually fast
time of hours, or over hides [ter
hour, &x.pIanatrtoa> ef this is racing
dog teams ami excellent, hard trail.
Ruby is a mining town oa the' south
bank of the Yukon, about IOC fjdpula
lion. AM other towns on the Yukon
are located on the north bank.
The relay from Ruby arrives- at
Whi-skey creeks 28 miles, in 3Y i«jut*H;
racing dogs, fine trail. In chi.-- section
we see many dogs of half wolf- strain.
Wolves were captured several vears
ago and bred with tnalamute dog«.
They are quite fast, but show the wild
strain in their glistening eyes aod re
treating, cringing manner. •
We leave Whiskey creek at about
mid-night and arrive at Bishop moan

the third night on the trail;, distance.
36 miles; time, 6 hours.
The next relay, to Nutate-, 3f> miles,
is made in 5 hours. Nulato is an In
dian village on the-Yukon, population
258. There are many Indians --waiting
to care for the arriving team end speed
the departing one. These people fully
comprehend what is involved *in this
relief race, for long before the white
man came to the North similar -dis
eases ravaged their villages. - They
seem to be susceptible to epidetnios
similar to that, now at Nome.
The next relay, to Kaltag, 36 miles,
is made in the remarkable time of 31
hours. Reason, favorable conditions
and Indian boy demonstrating the
speed of bis dogs.
