Mastodon Meat for
Alaska Sou? doughs
Dawson.—Try this one, fresh from
Alaska.
Four Alaska sourdoughs celebrated a
reunion in DawsOn last winter by din
ing on meat of the prehistoric mas
todon, frozen in glacial ice for several
thousand years. The sioi v was told bv
Alexander M. Smith, who is in Seattle
for the winter.
The morsel was found by two pros
pectors ou the AnnahtiDtiie river, a
tributary to the Mackenzie, which
flows into the Arctic. It was so well
preserved that they cut off two strips
of the frozen meat to take to Dawson
as a curiosity. There they met two
sourdough friends from the Koyukuk.
They hadn’t met for three years. They
grew convivial under the - flashing
northern lights, when semeone sug
gested a meal.
"How about a mastodon sandwich?”
suggested one of the prospectors from
the Mackenzie.
"Bring it on,” said the Koyukuk
sourdoughs, who had eaten everything
in the north country from mountain
sheep to seal.
The dry and brittle meat, the same
sort of meat, perhaps, that graced the
cave man's board in antediluvian days,
was spread between crackers and i
smeared with mustard.
The sourdoughs reported that the
meat tasted like a cross between wal
vus and white whale meat.
