THE ARCTIC REGIONS.
Went Ont With Captain CIisby in
1892 TO Collect Ivory, Fur and
WhaIebone in the North-A Novel
Surgical Operation.

HALIFAX, Oct. 15.-The steamer
Portia, on her next trip from st. Johns,
N. F., to New York, will carry a man
with an interesting story of four years
experience in the Arctic regions His
name is J. Jansen, and he belongs in
Copenhagen. He arrived at st. Johns
| on the steamer Hope, which came
from Greenland with Lieutenant
Peary's party.
In 1892, Jansen went from New Lon
don. Conn. with Captain Clisby to
collect whalebone fur and ivory in the
north. He employed thirty esquimaux,
providing them with provisions and
ammunition, receiving in return all the
bone, furs, etc, obtained. During the
first days of January, an American sta
toned twenty miles south of their posi-
tion and who was sick, sent to Captain
Clisby for relief.
Jansen with an Esquimaux went to
his rescue and the sick man was placed
in safety and Jansen started to re-
turn.
Sending the Esquimaux ahead for &
relief party he started back over the
ice, but a strong off-shore wind drove
him out TO sea and for six days and
nights he was exposed to a bitter
Arctic cold. his feet were frozen stiff,
yet he kept on toward land. He finally
reached the station more dead than
alive For months he was laid up
and it was found necessary II anlpu-
tate all his toes and his right heel.

Is. GROWING BRIGHTER,
The Sunbeam Proving All That It's
Name Implies.

The trip of President Welby and
Secretary Carpenter to the Sunbeam
on Wednesday, to inspect the new find
reported recently in The Herald, was
more than satisfactory to the officers
of the Sunbeam Consolidated company.
They found the strike not only all it
was represented to be, but the develop
ment that had been made in the mean
time showed the prospect a fine one.
In the 250 level the vein which had
been eighteen inches wide at three feet
in. had grown to twenty-siX inches at
eight feet. The work of driving a
drift in on the 300 level had already
commenced and had only progressed
two feet when the vein was struck,
showing a width of twelve inches. This
shows that at least the vein is fifty feet
in depth. The vein on the 800 level
is very rich, a sample which the Of
ficers brought back going $50 ounces in
silver and 46 per cent COPPER.

THE MINING EXCHANGE
Renewed Interest in the Pit--Rapid
Advance in Several stocks.

Renewed Interest in the Pit-Rapid
Advance in Several stocks.
great deal of interest was mani
tested in the dealings on the floor of
the mining exchange yesterday, and
for a time the excitement was SO great
as to call to mind the stirring scenes
which characterized the opening of the
board last winter The market yes
terday was especially active and nearly
all OF the stocks ruled high, silver
securities more particularly so. There
was a ready demand for Ajax, which
was wanted in large blocks at figures
considerably in advance of recent quo
tations. AS it was, few shares changed
hands at % cents. Bullion-Beck made
advances in the bidding as well as in
the offerings, but recorded no sales.
DAILY and Daily West were both very
firm and developed upward tendencies.
One of the surprises of the call, how
ever, was the squirt made by East
Golden Gate, which advanced steadily
from l cent at the opening to Az cents
AT the close, offered at 10; and during
the call two thousand shares changed
hands at 3 and 319 cents. Geyser also
made squirt andsclosed at the dollar
mark in the bidding and was wanted
from 80 to 9715 cents. AT the close the
quotation stood at 81 bid, $1.15 asked.
This activity in Geyser is attributed to
the recent decision rendered in favor
OF the Geyser in the Geyser-Marion
suit, and it is believed that the stock
will go much higher
Mercur, Mammoth and Ontario also
made good gains in the bidding and
were stiff in the offerings, while Sioux
Con. held its own fairly well, and
Utah made slight gains
Among the unlisted stocks Sunbeam
Was especially active and exhibited sky
ward tendencies, a thousand shares re-
cording sales at rs cents a share, while
at the close it was quoted at q bid and
30 asked. Swansea and South Swansea
were very firm in the bidding at the
quotations of the day before, but the
asking price was higher. Dalton was
also in good demand and made some
gains, while there Was some inquiry for
Rover, but buyer and seller were too
far apart for the transaction of any
business. There was some show for
dealings in Lucky Bill, as but cents
only stood between the buyer and the
seller.
Little Pittsburg fell into line again
yesterday and was quite popular. Why
this stock should become such a ia
vorite all at once is puzzling the talent
but there was an active demand for the
stock and it sold in blocks of a thou
sand each at 1ss and IA cents.
The transactions of the day were as
follows:
SALES OF STOCK.
100 Ajax at 65 cents.
1000 East Golden Gate at 81 cents.
1000 East Golden Gate at cents.
LOCO Sunbeam at % cents.
1000 Little Pittsburg at IL cents
1000 Little Pittsburg at rs cents.
Total sales, 300 shares.
The closing quotations were as fol-
lows:
