hours hard climbing the party ar
rived at the top of the divide. Here a
tent was pitched and a few hours of
much-needed rest taken. Then the as
cent began again. Four hours from
the divide saw them standing on the
most lofty peak of the mountain.
About two hours were spent on the
peak and during this time much was
done. Some of the members of the
party took scientific observations, some
of which will be valuable contributions
to science. Mr.. Sella, the photogra-
pher, took many pictures from the
summit, all of which, together with
data secured, will be submitted in a
report to the Alpine Club.
During the ascent all the Italians
carried packs, averaging about 40
pounds, which were strapped to their
backs.
The expedition has determined two
facts of prime Importance to. the sci
entific world. 1t has fixed once for all
the altitude of Mount st. Elias at 49,
100 feet The figures are subject only
to such slight correction as may
change the total 80 or 40 feet either
way.
The expedition has also answered
definitely and in the negative the
question so long asked by scientists
as to whether or not st. Elias was at
one time great volcano. There is not
the slightest indication of volcanic ac-
ton anywhere:
A new glacier was discovered from
the eminence of Mount st. Elias be-
tween the Augusta Mountains and
Great Logan. 1t takes its course, ap-
parentIy to the sea, and was named
by the Prince Colombo" This was
the only geographical christening
during the trip.

ONYX WILL BE CHEAP.
New Rich Beds Discovered in Ken
lucky.

New Rich Beds Discovered in Ken
lucky.
1t has been discovered that there are
in the State of Kentucky the richest
and most extensive beds Of onyx ever
known to exist, says the st. Louis
Star. Their value is billions of dol
lars. As soon as the working thereof
is begun thousands of persons will be
given employment. The man through
whom the existence of this fabulous
wealth has been revealed is Prof. S. S.
Gorby, formerly State Geologist of In
diana.
An idea of the richness of these
beds may be gained from the fact that
in one tract alone 900 cubic feet of
ONYX that is unsurpassed in texture
is visible. The color of the store varies
greatly and in shades hitherto I'M
know. The averages value Of onyx
ranges from SO to SIS cubic foot,
and as this onyx is of the superlative
degree a child can see its immense
value.
Up to the present time onyx beds
have been known to exist in Arizona,
Arkansas and Virginia. In Arizona,
