COOL WORK
or Robbers Who Held UpR Train on th'
Northern Pacific Railroad.

Northern Pacific HRilroad.
MoREHEAD, MINI, Sept. 26.-The
west-bound passenger train on the
Northern Pacific railway was held up
three miles east OF here at an early
hour this morning. 1t is said that the
express car carried large sum OF mo-
ney which the robbers failed to secure,
owing to n blunder in cutting of the
cars.
The robbery was the coolest piece Of
work Imaginable, Engineer Hoover
lust after pulling out of Glyndon, mo-
ticed a man on the front platform OF the
mail car. A few moments later the
man climbed over the tank and at the
point OF a pistol compelled the engineer
to apply the brakes. Three other rob
bers then came forward, bringing the
conductor and brakemen. All mounted
the engine, which was again started
west. The robbers sat on the tank and
ordered the engineer to keep her NOV
ing" Not until the train reached
Morehead was It known that the engine
and mail chr had been cut of from the
balance OF the train. Then the robbers
discovered that they had not cut deep
enough into the train and had failed to
secure the treasure said to have been Ia
the express safes. They rapidly de-
spoiled the crew OF watches and money
and made their escape.

CONDITIONS OF WORK
In England and United states-NHhy This
Country EIceis.


LONDON, Sept. 26.-John Burns, Rad
teal member Of parliament for Battereea,
has two column letter In the Times this
morning, in reply to the statements OF an
American engineer. who a few days ago
IN the columns Of the Times discussed
with an English engineer the condltlonh
Of the work In England and the United
States.
Mr.. Burns agreed with what was then
said as to the excellence OF American
workmanship He denies, however, that
this is not due TO wages paid, and the
long hours. but ascribes II TO the fact
that the American employer has few
dead heads to cnTry about.
He says: "The American employers are
captains Of industry. are more inventive.
adaptable and assimllatlvc. less hide.
bound Tn their concerts. more versatile In
inventive and initiative effort Where
the American engineering excels the
British Il is not because Of the short
coming or the British mechanic, but be-
cause Of the woodcn-hendcd and often
pig-hcnded character of the employers,
managers and foremen.
"Givcn skilled American supervision
and inventive methods, with British me-
Chanlcs work, and therein is the alliance
Of organization. and production which
would be the best In tho world"
He concludes by denying that Great
Britain Is losing her engineering trade,
alleging, on the contrary, that Il IB In
crcaging white strikes are decreasing.
He quotes statistics In proof Of this.

the route is passabie and not very dit

The last five miles, however, presented
obstacles that would forever discourage

''who came from Mount Tomohoy CTom
Boy) and all reiterated the stories con-
cernlng the great strike OF $4,000 to the
ton made in Bear mountain, In T6mo-
hoy (Tom Boy), and several Others have
found ore equal to the discovery In Bear
mountain"
A special correspondent Of the Even
ing Times sends word from Spmmas as
follows:
"The gold discoveries In the noun
taIns OF Whatcom county are beyond
any doubt the richest In the annals OF
the Pacific coast or even In Alaska. So
say the most experienced prospectors
whom have accompanied to the scene
OF the recent finds"
The recent find is In Bald mountain,
situated in the northeast portion OF
Whatcom county, northeast of Mount
Baker. The mineral range runs north
west and southeast and to-day Is loca-
ted for thirty miles. There Is no telling
how much further It extends.
The vein in the five claims, Lone
Jack, Bennle. Sidney, Lulu and Whist,
varies from three to five feet In thick
ness. It runs under layer of porphyry
ledge In a serpentine manner. and au-
riferous shale appears In the ledge. 1t
Is free milling quartz OF sugar and
rose color. carrying copper and silver.
The vein can be traced half mile. The
cropping Is under solid porphyry.
The gold Is known as wire gold" and
can be seen with the naked eye and
picked out with the fingers. That great
quantities OF It exist, there is no doubt.
The formation OF the range in which the
find Is located does not look TO be very
rich in minerals. II there is any placer

strated to be paying proposition.

THE HOPE ARRIVES
Having on Board the Blg MstsoFlts Sc,
cured by bieuf. Peary,


BOSTON, Sept, 26-The steam whal-
ing bark Hope, Captain John Bartlett,
which has Just returned from the Arctic.
arrived here, at $50 O'Clock this morning
from sydneyNC, b.
In conyesafon with a representative Of
the Associated Press to-day Lieut.. Peary
said:
The Hope left Sydney at II o'clock
Wednesday morning and fortunately
missed the hurricane which has been
raging the past week. The 100 ton me-
teorite In the hold OF the Hope fell from
the skies hundreds OF years ago and has
been the source OF iron supplies OF tha
esquimaux. discovered Il IN May, 1897.
and since that time have been trying u
secure Il and bring II to America. The
EsqulmauN call II the 'Savlksoah.'. We
have on board SIX EsQmmauI-three
men. one woman, a boy and girl. The
Oldest OF these Is Nook-Tak, forty yeara
old, the son OF the old Chief Kooloatoo-
nah, who plotted TO murder Dr. Hayes
and some Of his companions, With him
Is his wife. All Tung All Max Sosh, forty
i've years old, and their daughter. All
Wee All, twelve yeaB old. The others
are Ke Sur, thlrty-fiye years old, with
his nine year old boy, Nee Nj and a
young man, Wee Shak Up 81, twenty
one years old. They will remain with me
here this winter TO arrange the ethnolo-
glcal specimens and will return to the
north next summer with me, These peo-
pie belong 10 the tribe from which shall
select my colony next year"
In speaking OF the last expedition.
Lient. Peary said: 81 consider the chief
things accomplished were the arrange
ments with the Esqulmaux for my next
years Journey. From this time out
they will be securing furs and other
skins for clothing, and have all In read
mess for US next year. Then the second
thing OF Importance is the bringing OF
the meteorlte to this country. The state
ments appearing In the papers that we
had discovered some gruesome things
about the hut OF the Greely expedition
is all nonsense. We found no grave
yard belongings. We found conditions
such that we could reach the place
where the Greely expedition had made
their camp, and although II was August
20. we found things inside the hut COW
cred several feet with snow Our party
began to dig around, and picked up sew
eral buttons and a piece OF wood mark
ed Norman the name OF one of the
Greely party, and several other things.
Those are all the 'gruesome' finds we
made.
THE Hope will remain until Tuesday
when we will make for the Brooklyn
navy yard, where l have permission
from the authorities to use the 100 ton
crane to hoist the meteorte from the hold
OF the Hope"
