Lieutenant Pearcy's Hazardous Trip
Through Greenland.

A Halifax On. S,) special says Lieu
tenant Pearcy arrived here to-day Oh his
way home from his Greenland expedition,
by which he hoped TO discover another
route TO the pole for future Arctic eXplo-
Yers. Before stating the results OF bis
Journey he said be wished TO emphaticllly
deay that he was sent on the Greenland
expedition by the United States Govern
mcDt. His object in undertaking the ha-
zardous trip was TO test a theory OF his Nn.
that Greenland could be crossed over from
west II cast, and thus establish a link
In the chain that would eventually lead
TO the North Pole. Oh June 9Th Lieuten-
ant Pearcy lauded at the D,uish settle
ment, on the west coast OF Greenland.
Making the acquaintance OF the assistant
Danish Governor, the latter accompanied
him, rs guide and companion, over Jour
nty OF one hundred miles east, occupying
twenty days. They took twOssleiges on
which TO carry their baggage and proyi-
slons; but 40 dogs hauled them, rs in
most places the snow was too soft 10 bear the
animals up, and they would have impeded
rather than fastened the mems pro gress.
Lieutenant Pearcy and his companion
travelled on snow-shOes, without which they
found II impossible to proceed. The Jour-
ney was continuously uphill unit i when the
one hundredth mile from the coast had
been covered the pair were at an altitude
Of 1900 feet above the level Of the sea.
From the time Lieutenant PeaFcy landed
IN Greenland the sun never descended
below the horizon. The day he landed
he put on coloied glasses, and did not
remove them until he left Greenland be.
hind, as the continuous glare OF the
bright sun on the unbrokon field OF
snow would have destroyed his sight.
On the journey not a sign o! vege-
tation was discovered, and no bird or beast
OF any kind was seen. The weather was
found not TO be so cold as expected, the low
est point reached being SO below freezing.
When rest was required the men scooped
holes In the snow, rolled themselves In
their sleeping.bags, and slept with comfort
for hours at a time. A considerable por-
ton OF the return Journey was on down
grade, and where the snow was frozen with
D strong crust, the travellers rigged an im-
promptu sail on the sledges, and were borne
along sometimes al the rate OF fifteen miles
an hour.

several other short trips alone, and on Sap.

Hubbard House Change

Sioux City Journal: In answer to a
question as to the rumored change in
the proprietorship of the Hubbard house
Maj. j. t. Cheney said yesterday that
on the first of March r. l.. Cheney
would take sole charge, having pur-
chased the interest of the other men,
bers of the firm. This step, he said,
had been in contemplation for some
time, for the reason that there was not
room enough in the building to carry on
business profitable to the firm of three
members, while one man would have all
that he could properly attend to. The
change had been delayed somewhat in
the hope that the house would be en-
larged and improved, and while there
was prospect that this would be done,
he had got tired of waiting and should
retire to private life, after hotel life OF
twenty EIGHT years. Maj. Cheney plans
on making some improvements on his
Morning Side farm, and expects to make
that his home, still retaining his inter.
esG in the Depot hotel and in the house
at Missouri Valley.

The Rapid City Republican has few
words in behalf of the corn belt and
stock interests OF Dakota. which we re.
produce:
IT is maintained that the grounds are
tenable, that country unable to grow
country capable of producing the maize
ls destined to become prosperous and
great. In north Dakota corn can not be
grown with any certainty whatever, but
yet Dakota takes precedence of twenty
of this crop. Hence, south Dakota

west. Her agricultural output, stock
few years form a trinity
of resources unequaled by
any state on the continent. Regarding
the cattle interests of the Black Hills
region, the least of the trio, we have Off
turns, showing the relative importance
of this industry which VIC append as
documentary evidence of portion Of
tne foregoing. Inc baDle gives the en-
tire value of stock on the various Da-
kota ranges, as follows: Black Hills,
So, 1853, ,234; Bad Lands, $486,590; Little
Missouri, $1,232,430; Upper Missouri,
S32, 2,905; Souris, S208, l50
Southeastern Dakota raises corn in
abundance and upon this the cattle OF
the Black Hills can be profitably prepar.
ed for the market. The drive is not Q
long one and the country to be traversed
abounds in grass and water.

General sherman Is Explanat,o,


Pittsburg, Feb. 1S-Gen. w. T. Sher-
man arrived in the city to-day from the
funeral of Gen. Hancock. In speaking
of the newspaper strictures upon his re-
ferences to Generals Grant and Smith,
he said:
The sentence occurs in letter written
by me to Lieut. Scott, having charge OF
the records at Washington. L knew that
could not have written anything inten-
ded as disparagement of Gen. Grant.
Gen. Smith was brave officer. l knew
that he had hurt his leg in getting into a
yawl. The woundi disabled him and ter.
minated fatally. When he found he was
unable to take charge of the forces he
sent for Gen. Grant. In writing that
sentence I meant that Grant had gone
down, down, down, and nowthe oppor-
tunity had presented itself which gave
him an opportunity to rise by his own
merit. If Smith had lived, it IL qnes-
tionable whether the opportunity would
have come to Grant by which he was
enabled to bring into play the
forces of his character. Fry never made
record. He was never III North Caro-.
! lima. His record Is one on paper, and to
keep that up he must seek notoriety.
It is ridiculous to suppose that I meant
to detfact from Grants fame. The sen.
tence occars in letter written to Lieut.,
Scott to obtain some records which de.
sired to use in preparing eulogy OF
Gen. Grant, which / delivered before
! his old comrades Of the Army OF the

that I would seek to detract from his

Illinois has reached point in its ex-

people refuse to permit that class OF
labor to come in contact with legitimate
labor. Its penitentiary authorities have
for month past advertised the letting
of its convict labor in periods of from
FIVE to eight years and in the end re-
ceives not bid. The agitation of the
subject has created prejudice against
this species of labor and fear on the

The COmstOck's Outlook.

The mining outlook on the Comstock
is more encouraging at present than at
any time during the past eight years, and
the indications are favorable that the bull
lion output for 1886 will exceed that of
any year since the closing down of the
California pan mill. The successful con-
centration of Yellow Jacket ore at the
Brunswick mill has decided the manage
ment of several mines that have been
shut down and virtually abandoned to re-
sumo operations. Among these are the
Dayton and Silver Hill. both of which
contain large deposits OF low-grade ore
that can be transformed into bullion by
the new process and leave a margin for
the shareholders after deducting the cost
OF extraction and crushing. The trans
MISSION OF water power from the Truckee
River to the Comstock through the
agency OF electricity for the purpose of
driving quartz crushing mills to be built
adjacent to mines containing large de-
posts OF low-grade ore, is not Utopian
Idea, as has been intimated. The project
is practical, as skeptics can readily ascer-
.ain by making inquiry of any local cleo
trlcian. The first mill to be propelled
by power transmitted through dynamos
Will be erected at the Hale & Norcross
mine, on the upper levels of which and
Inc Savage there is vast deposit of low
grade ore. The explorations now in pro.
sress on the 600 level of the Gould &
curry bid fair to add that mine to the
list OF bullion producers Virginia
