Wanderer recounts perilous trek in snowbound mountains
Mr A D wasn formerly ran Can Can in Tombetome and Bisbee writes from Castle Moutans about a trek with five companions. They crossed twenty foot snow depths from Helens to Townsend over the Rocky Mountains, losing a horse, and in a blizzard crawled twenty miles on hands and knees using bodies as snow shoes. He claims to have traveled North America but never saw weather like this. Castle is a mining camp of about 1,000, rapidly growing, with most smelters closed as snow recedes and travel resumes. Walsh and nephew Walter will operate a classeathog house on May 1 and stay there permanently.
