Perils of the Prospector in the Blue Mountains
Baker City men Thomas Daly and J Channell returned home after a grueling ascent toward Deer Creek in the Blue Mountains. A pack horse slipped 300 feet, killing the animal and much gear while Daly and Channell strapped remaining provisions to their saddles. Channell narrowly escaped death as another fall nearly hurled him from a precipice, yet both men finished the journey safely amid heavy rain and snow.
