RICH GOLD ORE.
A Few Sacks Melted Otto Grantz, Of
the Black Hills, $4,000.

YANKTON, S. D., Oct. 26.-Ex-United
States Senator Moody, of Deadwood, gives
a new version of the sensational gold dis
covery in the Black hills by Otto Grant,
Senator Moody said: II see the newspapers
say that Grant, took carload of ore to the
mint at Denver. He did not take any such
amount Ny son Burdette. who is chief en-
gineer of the Homestake mine. says that
Grantz had only few sacks of ORE but they
netted him $4,000. 1t is the richest native
rock ever unearthed in the hills and its dis
covery was an accident after twenty years
of unremitting search on the part of Grantz
Less than a month ago he went TO his claim
day and stumbled upon piece of rich
ore lying partly exposed. This find led to
the unearthing OF the vein from which he
has taken the ore recently sold in Denver"
The senator says the gold fields Of the hills
have as yet only been prospected.

STILL POSSESSES HOPE
ANDREE's BROTHER ARGUES FOR
THE SAFETY OF THE AERONAUT.
In a Letter to Observer Baldwin, ut

Success OF the Expedition.

MOBILE, Ala, Oct. 8.-Evelyn B. Bald
win, the Arctic explorer and observer in
the United States Weather Bureau. who has
been assigned to duty at this station, ar
rived here to-day from Washington. To-
day he received letter from Capt. Ernst
Andree, of Sweden, brother Of the polar
aeronaut, and gave to the Associated Press
the following extract expressive of An
dre's confidence in his brothers safety and
his conjectures as to his whereabouts: my
opinion is that If my brother had landed
anywhere between Sc So degrees north
and 20 or so degrees west and $50 degrees
west Greenwich meridian) we would have
heard from him. But, not having heard
directly from him as to his having landed,
think he must have come down to the
west of $50 degrees and between So or 81
degrees north. From s. degrees north and
$50 degrees west it is about $50 miles to the
nearest known land, to New Siberia, Tay-
muir. Franz Josef Land, Greenland and the
Parry islands. AT the same daily progress
made by Nansen, or three miles. it would
take him two years to reach the coast Of the
Parry islands and another year before he
could communicate with civilization. My
brother several times expressed his wish 10

THE last one of my brothers buoys was

the latter to be thrown out when the bal
loon was as far north as the expedition ex-
pected to reach. If the expedition reached
81 or S. degrees north and 80 or 100 degrees
east, and then got northerly winds. il is
most likely they would have thrown the
north. But the wind might have changed in
a few hours again to the south or south
west and thus have carried the balloon TO "a

$50 degrees. Here they may have landed n
an UNEMPLOYED region, previous to reaching
which they may have sailed backward and
forward several times Remember that the
balloon sailed fifteen or sixteen miles an
hour during the first three hours.
II do not put the least faith in any Of the
many reports, with the exception, of course,
of the pigeon message and the two buoys.
