AUGUST 19, 1022, SERRA ERAN A WONDERFUL YUKON UT WALLEY Ba Judging from the report brought back by Mr, Frank Perry, mining en- ginear of Vi ver, who r tly re- turned. to ejvilisation after seventeen years of prospecting in and about the Yukon region, plenty of scope yet exists for the energy of ex- plorer and discoverer. The area of the terrain that he examined during his long sojourn in the north was roughly speaking, that between the Coastal Range and the Lizard and Fort Nelson rivers, measuring about 700 miles north and south and 300 miles form east to west. 5 Ie) At one point in his wanderings dur- ing the winter season his attention was attracted to a heavy fog that hung aver what appeared to be a walley.., This unusual phenomenon As a Tangrows $itler Hie' frég rent ly swaps his ideals for ideas.

Sure enough, he struck an aimest tropical valley about 200 miles long and 40 miles wide through which ran rivers of hot wat- er, fed by hundreds of hot springs that bubbled out of the ground im all directions. The steam rising from the water, hot almost to boil- ing point, paturafly condensed in the cold winter atmosphere, forming the fog Mr. Perry had first seen from the crest of the range. According to his account, many wild animals congregated in this re- niarkable valley, drawn by the luxu- riant vegetation made possible by the heat. Hundreds of mountain sheep and goats, caribou, moose, bears and other fur-yislding quadrupeds were observed, the moose, almost square from fat, being so tame that he walk- ed among them and almost touched thent.

Equally interesting is his state- ment thet he had ; impeortaat discoveries of mineral deposits, in- cluding gold, silver and copper, and he also moticed evidence of coal, oll and iron formations. Because of this Mr. Perry has not divuiged the exact location of this wonderful valley, whese tree growth he also describes as quite abnormal. He tells of ordi- nary wild rose bushes that resem- bled trees, with stems as thick as a man's forearm and so dense that it was impossible to make a way through them. Willows likewise grew to tree size, making it possible to walk along the branches, some of the trunks being fully a foot and a half in diameter. Vines grew to a length of about sixty feet, while net- ties and ferns were also of unusual grasses and shrubs, common to north, he found to be of unusual , Although a year's traveling was necessary to emable the explorer to civilisation, Mr. Perry is plan- ning to return to the happy valley by airplane that will only take a few days to make the journey.

"Like a great many other people who got the "flu" a few vears ago,'she writes," it left me in a weakened, run down eondi- tion. Nothing seemed to bring back my old strength and energy.

I was nervous. was irritable and was always looking for slights. I was losing weight. I was in such a nervous, weakened, run down condition, that last spring I got Jhcum ia.
