MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFOKD, OREGON, FRIDAY, JUNE 28. 1933. PAGE NINE YUKON EXPEDITION FIRST TO EXPLORE Mighty St. Ellas Mountains Crossed On Alaska-Yukon Border to Survey Area ". Previously Unmapped WASH INGTON, D. O. (Spl.) m the race of blinding blizzards, destruction by fire of equipment, and near trag edy to some of Its dogs, the National Geographic Society's Yukon Expedi tion made the first crossing of the mighty St. Ellas mountain range on the Yukon -Alaska border and thus withdrew a vast region from the un mapped areas of the world. The expedition, led by the youth ful explorer. Bradford Washburn, of Cambridge, Massachusetts, crossed the range on foot with dog sledges lor the first time In history despite ter rific hardships. The expedition also made maps and aerial photographs of a large area of the St. Ellas range previously unmapped, near the Yu-kon-Asaska- border. Peaks Named for King, Queen The area, the Washburn party ex plored is at the Junction of the southeastern corner of Alaska and the southwestern corner of Yukon Territory, Canada, famous In the Klondike gold rush days of 38 years ago. Several Immense new mountain peaks were discovered by the expedi tion and their positions located with surveying Instruments and cameras which were carried to a height of more than 12.000 feet on Mt. Hub bard, the highest survey station ever occupied in Canada. Two of the new peaks In Canadian territory were named for King George and Queen Mary In honor of their silver Jubilee. Mr. Washburn received the following telegram from Sir John Simon, British Secretary of State for foreign affairs. "The King commands me to express to you the sincere appreciation of the compliment which the National Geo graphic Society-Yukon Expedition has paid to his Majesty and to the Queen in naming the newly discovered peaks after their majesties in commemor ation of his Silver Jubilee. The King congratulates the expedition cn their Important achievement In effecting the first crossing of the St. Ellas range from Yukon to Alaska." Fought Severe Bl lizards The expedition camped 84 days on snow and Ice fields and conducted surveys In the face of extreme cold, bad snow conditions and severe bliz zards. A huge glacier, 40 miles long, one of the largest In North America, was named after ex-President Abbott Lawrence Lowell of Harvard Univer sity. The explorers suffered two near disasters. Three of the best dogs of their highly -essential dog team fell into a crevice In a glacier 70 feet deep but were rescued unharmed by two of the men who were lowered into the crevice by ropes. A fire starting from a small stove burned one tent and a sleeping bag. leaving one tint and three Bleeping bugs for four men in the expedition's advanced survey party. After reaching the Alaskan sea coast Washburn and one other man travelled the last lap to civilization in a rubber boat like that taken by Amelia Earhart on her flight from Hawaii to the United states. This boat was carried by the expedition all the way across the mountains. Members of the expedition In addi tion to Washburn were: Robert H. Bates, Philadelphia. Pa.; Hartness Beardsley, Springfield, Vt.; Adams Carter, West Newton, Mass.; Ome Dalber, Seattle, Wash.; Andrew M. Taylor, Ottawa. Canada. Robert Ran dall, airplane pilot, brought" supplies to the expedition in a plane equipped with skis, and aided In the taking of aerial photographs. HONOR REV.
