Severe cold and snow disrupt interior travel report
A long winter dispatch describes heavy snowfall and extreme cold hampering travel in Alaska. Trails broken and drifting hinder movement along the Susitna and Yentna routes, with mail delivery likely paused until navigation opens around mid March. Temperatures plunge to as low as 53 below zero, while February features multiple subzero days and a blizzard on the 10th. Several trappers and prospectors, including R. R. Jones, J. C. Snyder, J. Rimmer, and George Grinnell, journey upriver seeking supplies, with plans to press toward Kuskoqwim and Peters Creek next summer and gather topographical data for potential ditches.
