• Daring Alaska Explorer's quotation or excerpt is recorded as Daring Alaska Explorer. Three Years Trip Of Mineralogist S.J. Marsh. Traveled Alone. Tacoma, Washington; August 31, 1903. The last part of Alaska to be explored has been traversed during the past year by S.J. Marsh, mineralogist, who returned to Nome early in August, after a trip of three years through the wilderness between the Arctic Ocean and Koyukuk River. Marsh started with T.G. Carter in August three years ago, taking passage on the schooner Helen for the mouth of the Colville River. Their dogs all died while they wintered through. Carter did not wish to enter the interior without dogs, and Marsh started alone. Building a sled, he hauled twelve hundred pounds of provisions by relays to a point ninety miles inland on Kooguru River. Marsh found five rivers between the Colville River and the Turner River, the latter being near the international boundary.^[14].
• Daring Alaska Explorer's quotation or excerpt is recorded as They are the Koopowruk, Sawanukto, Savoavik, Koo guru, and Barter. He spent the Summer of last year prospecting on limoguru, but found no trace of gold. During this period Marsh was alone for nearly nine months, and during one period of a hundred and twenty-eight days heard no human voice other than his own. This Spring he started out alone, going across country toward Koyukuk. He found mineralized country and prospected. His grub was getting low, and he decided to make Yukon. While journeying on a raft for eighteen days down Changelar River, he had no food except flour. Mail Carrier Jack Carr came along, en route from Koyukuk to Fort Yukon. and Marsh accompanied him. He reached Fort Yukon emaciated, long-haired, and flat broke. Gen. Funston carried him to Nome on the transport Jeff Davis. Marsh obtained data of great value for mapping the country explored.^[15].
