HE MAY NEVER RETURN.

| Gen. Greeley Attempted to Dissuade Prof.
Andree, Who May Be Los.
Washington. July 22.-In reply to a
t=legraphic request Gen. Greeley, the arc
Tic explorer, has sent the Associated Press
from Linden, Va, the following statement
regarding the Andree expedi ion
SIT is possible that Prof. Apdree may
have reached the North Pole or it's vi
cinity. The telegraphic reports as far as
l have seen, state ,lhat he started wi n
south wind OF twenty,gwo mils an hour.
The chance of such wind blowing 600
miles straight to the North Pole are,
however, very small as it would be an
ex raordinary meteorological phenomena
such as has never inStancsd any storm.
Doutils of the success of NJ. Andree's pro-
jeoJed expedition and his probable re-
turn were express. a the sixth internal
tional geographical conven ion. NJ. AM
dree admitted the extreme hazardnes5 of
the project which is 'uhe oDa outlined.
1 pointed out that even should he reach
the pole he could hardly expect to find
his south wind continuing across the pole
for 1000 miles as a north wind. | urged
that his chances of attaining the North
American coast We're consequently small
as the observations a Lady Fra akin Bay
Grinrell Land, and Point Barrow, Alaska,
showed that the winds almost constantly
came from the south, while strong north
winds We're almost unknown. Andree
replied: Then I shall expect to land
somewhere on the Siberian coast" He
expressed again his determination to go
and his confidence of returning safely.
Prof. Ekholm, who accompanied An
dree in his unsuccessful attempt last
summer. declined to go this year on ac-
count of ore of the dangers I urged upon
Ardree-the permabilty of the balloon
which allows gas to escape constantly
but which Andres Ct simed to Gave over
come. While I believe that Andree will
never return, yet experience teaches us
that miraculous things occur daily

In regard to who would be his assistant

THAT MEXICAN MINE AGAIN.

On Monday last Mr.. Larson of
Ephraim and Mr.. Petersen of Spring
City came into town from an ex-
ploring expedition out of the mount
aims west of Manti. A, sheep herd
err out in those bleak regions, while
wandering about noticed a striking
popularity in the lay of the ground.
On the side of hill appeared de-
preston which, by closer observa-
ton, turned QUITO be an ancient
trail. Large trees were growing up
in a road once used for travel, show
ing that many decade had passed
since it had been used for convey
ing the burdens of man. Follow
ing up this trail, the sheepherder
came abruptly to an excavation
which, however, through the cor
rosion of time or perhaps through
the desire of some former civiliza-
ton to conceal its place, was filed
up. Certain parties in the neigh
borhood were apprised of this dis
covery. They Immediately com
menced digging it out. 1t turned
out to be hole in the side of the
mountain with solid stone steps
leading down into it. Step by step
they decended until they had made
considerable of an excavation, when
they determined to give it up until
they could get horses and scrapers
at work. Some excitement was

grows. Later his wife called his
attention to the same occurrence
and by closely watching it he found
this column Of smoke shot high up
into the air several times an hour.
. 1t was especially active every after
noon. The smoke would first rush
up like a, great smokestack several
hundred feet high; then gradually
sink down until it could hardly be
seen. Later he could see a mound
of earth in the vicinity; one never
before seen there 1t was undoubt-
edly castup by these commissions of
nature.
Mr.. Rohwer is positively con-
vinced it is an active volcano. From
his ranch the position appeared to
him in the region of the mouth of
Bear River, nearly 20 miles almost
due west of Brigham. At this time
of the year when the snow and mud
are so deep he says it would be inn
possible to reach the scene of'thIs
natural wonder.
Another convincing fact is that its
location is near where the recent
numerous earthquakes were sever
est. In that vicinity for weeks at a
time shocks were felt daily, some of
them making the ground rise and
fall like billowy ocean.-Brigham
