Surely, all the East is waking up
 and rubbing its eyes at the vision of
 the mirage in the southwest. The lat
 est is proposed expedition" fitted Iout by the Kansas City Times, d la ! Herald-Stanley. The following from
 that paper of the 11th will best ex- plain the purposes and manner of pro lceeding of this venture:
 As a preliminary survey. a recon lnoisance. as it were. of the new fields. the Times will, on Tuesday next, start its expedition westward and will fol-
 low the setting sun to its resting place
 in the waters of the Pacific. The ex- pediiion will be headed by and in charge of Mr J. C. Pangborn, who. during the nearly eight years since his
 first connection with the Times. has
 most successfully managed many eu-
 terprises, resulting not a little to the
 furthering of the best interests of the

 panied on the journey by Henry Wor-
 rall, the well-known artist, and Judge
