LADY "MUSHER" FINISHES TREK Plods Into Fairbanks After 1000 Miles of Snow and Hardship. FAIRBANKS, Alaska, March 26. (/P)—Mary Joyce, 27, today completed her 1000-mile dog-sled trek. Her "mush" was the longest and hardest ever made by a woman in the north, old-timers said. Dressed in reindeer parka and sealskin mukluks, she drove her five straining huskies across the snowy Fairbanks city limits to be welccped by Mayor E. B. Collins and a host of civic officials. Miss Joyce left her Taku hunting lodge, 39 miles south of Juneau, the city which elected her its beauty queen December 20. She was on the trail approximately 90 days. Her trek was over the inland mountain chain from Juneau, up the Yukon river watersheds, down the Yukon to Tanana river and thence to Fairbanks on the Chena river. She traveled in heavy blizzards, over vast arctic wildernesses in sparsely settled Yukon territory, and in temperatures ranging from 35 to 54 degrees below zero. Once, in late February, she was reported lost. Three Indian guides helped her break trail in wild country. Chocack Lacroose started with her from Taku. Lakutata Sladanta accompanied her down the Naxima river and over the Sloko mountains in British Columbia and .Yukon territory. Jimmy Allen, a Tanana Indian, broke trail for her from Burwash Landing, Y. T., to within 150 miles of Fairbanks.
