COULD REACH POLE
WERE THERE
So Declares J. P. Rudd Who.
Has Spent 10 Years In
Nome District.
"If there was even a suspicion that
gold was to be found at the north pole,
it would be merely a matter of months
before the pole would be reached," de
clared J. P. Rudd, who has spent the
past ten years in the Nome district.
Mr. Rudd was at the Merchants yes
terday, having stopped over in St.
Paul while on his way to his former
home in New York. He says he does
not believe any "tenderfoot" from the
states will ever be able to reach the
pole.
"Up in Alaska," said Mr. Rudd, "we
believe that if the pole is ever reach
ed, it will be by men who are accus
tomed to an arctic climate, and not
by men from the states, who are.worse
than 'tenderfeet' when it comes to
knowing how*. to withstand the rigors
of the cold. The discovery of the pole
Is something we have often talked
over, and I have heard scores of Alas
kans say that they would not hesitate
to make the attempt and would start
out with every confidence that they
would be successful." Yy"
"Of course, these men would not
think of making the search merely for
the glory they might gain, but if there
was a material inducement for them
they would not hesitate in making their
plans.
"Before anyone sneers or laughs at
these statements," continued Mr. Rudd,
"he ought to consider what kind of a
life these men have become used to.
They think nothing of sleeping in a
little flap tent with the mercury 50 or
more degrees below zero. I have my
self worked with the temperature 79
degrees below.
Could Sleep in Bed of Snow.
Many of them would not even need
* tents if. it came to that; they could
< be comfortable merely in . a sleeping
bag in the snow, cuddled in among
theft* dogs. They have learned to un
dergo all kinds of hardships, to live
on such' foods as can be easily carried
whale bladder, dried fish, almost any
thing that has a little more nutriment
in it than ice.
"The distance from Nome to the pole,
about 1,700 miles, we would not con
sider more than a forty days' journey,
and not anything to be especially
dreaded, even in the winter. In fact,
it is in the winter that we do all our
traveling in Alaska; In the summer it
is almost impossible.to make any great
distances because of the soft condition
of the ground, the foot or so of moss
which covers everything, entirely cut
ing off communication between the
settlements. , i: y
> "But in the winter time it is an easy
matter to make fifty miles a day with
dog sledges. .While traveling in this
manner' a man does not ride, as a rule,
but trots along with his dogs for ten
hours at a time without becoming ex
hausted. Then he will lie down in the
snow, with his dogs all around <*»nd
over him, and sleep as comfortable,
according to his way of thinking, as
if he were in a first-class hotel. In
fact, many of them would prefer it.
"During the ten years I have been
in Alaska, I have often heard men talk
of how they would go about it to reach
the north pole. They would start early
in July on a whaling steamer, pass
through the Bering strait and drive
as far north into the Arctic ocean as
possible, say about 400 miles. At that
point they would expect to strike fair
ly solid pack ice, and, after wedging
the vessel firmly into it, they would
make it the base of supplies for a dash
to the pole. They would arrange the
work in relays, establishing stations
along the route 100 miles or so apart,
so that in case of accident they would
have a refuge to return to.
Mark Route With Flags.
"By starting out from the vessel
with the dog sleds heavily laden, It
would not be long before the estab
lishment of the stations along the
route would leave them comparatively
light. The route from the ship could
be marked with flags so that the party
could find its way back at any time
without trouble.
"In attempting such a trip as this the
chief difficulty would be to find a way
around the hummocks which cover the
arctic ice pack, but under similar cir
cumstances, a little further south, we
have always found it possible to find a
way through. The route very likely
would be circuitous, but it would be
in the right general direction, and the
return would, of course, be much easier
on this account than the advance, as
the route would have been marked by
the flags.
:- "These are the plans for - reaching,
the north pole as laid out by many ex
perienced travelers in arctic regions
and they assert that fifty miles a day
could be made easily. The only great
danger would be from encountering
open water, although I have never yet
heard a man in Alaska who has spent
any considerable time in the arctic, say
he would expect to find anything ex
cept.ice and land.
"Up in Alaska the old-timers do not
take seriously the theory- of an open
polar sea, as it is exactly contrary to
what they would expect to find, judg
ing from the experiences they have
had. They would take kyaks with
them to cross any narrow breaks in the
ice, but these little skin boats would of
course, be useless in trying to cross
any great expanse of water.
Might Not Recognize the Pole.
"What would chiefly trouble many
whom I have talked with about mak
ing a dash for the pole, would be the
knowing when they reached it. They
are afraid they might pass it by 'with-'
out knowing it, and go down on the
»ther side, so confident are they that
they could reach the top of the^Sth
.If there was any reason for them to
»iake the attempt. *
"These statements may sound wild

present conditions they would not take -
seriously any suggestion that they give
what they have obtained by the hard
est of work to try to obtain something
that would be of no material use to
them. At the same time, they all be
lieve if the pole is ever reached it must
be by some of .them."
In speaking of Alaskan affairs and
the conditions there, Mr. Rudd said
the people up there speak lightly of the
government's attempts to stock the
country with reindeer. He says there
is no use for the reindeer.
"For all cases of traveling, dogs are
far superior to the deer," said Mr.
Rudd. "The reindeer are accumulating
in great herds, but they are not put to
use, even by the Esquimaux, except
when the dogs are not available."
Nome an Up-to-Date City.
Regarding Nome, where Mr. Rudd
makes his home, the speaker was en
thusiastic. He gays the city has elec
tric lights, a water system and public
Schools inferior to none. There are
well built houses, paved streets and all
of the appurtenances of any city, even
though it is but seventy-five - miles
from Berj&sg strait. About 5,000 re
mained there this winter, and this
number will be doubled, Mr. Rudd says,
when the navigation season opens in
the spring.
Nome is a different place from what
it was in its early days. Many of the
attributes of a mining camp are dis
appearing, he says, and vigorous at
tempts are being made to stamp out
gambling. Last November the courts
decided that gambling could ~ not be

conducted In connection with any sa
loon or in any other place within the
city.
But the gamblers got around this
order by building a pavilion on the
ice, just beyond the three-mile limit,
with dance halls and saloons adjoining
A 'bus line was established from Nome
and the place became quite a popular
winter resort.
"Business was flourishing when I
left," said Mr. Rudd.
Mr. Rudd will remain in St. Paul
until this afternoon, when, he- will leave
for the East.. He expects to return to
Nome in' the spring.
