.PEARy LECTURES
 IN NEW YORK
Says That He Is Convinced Un- discovered Land Exists in
 the Arctic Ocean.

NEW YORK, Dec. S.-Commander Robert F. Peary gave a public lecture today at the Museum of National His tory upon his latest attempt to reach the north pole. He said in the course of the lecture that he was satisfied that there is a body of land some where about hundred miles north west of Grantland. His party he said, found driftwood a hundred miles from rantland in the open Polar set, which he was convinced could only have come from rivers flowing through the land not yet placed upon the map.
 Commander ePary also said that he beIieeveed that if the Polar winter durink which he made his attempt had been a normal one he would have reached the pole. He thought it could be reached with no greater expense or loss of life than he had experienced in his expeditions. With his added knowledge of Arctic conditions, he be- lieved, the pole could be reached with sledges. but the explorer should leave the land further west than he did. at about Cape Richards. and should not proceed straight toward the pole, but
 toward the northwest. and thus take
 advantage of the natural drift of ice and currents. which is southwest. He discovered, he said, a unique glacial fringe upon the northern coast of Grantland, which he believed to be the. origin of paleocrstic or always frozen ice, which former explorers
 had thought was from ice massed about the poie.

TUNNEL THROUGH
RATION MOUNTAIN
Santa Re Will Expend immense Sum
of Money-Two Years to Com
plete Work.

Trinidad Colo, June 14.-The double
track tunnel under Ration Mountain,
which the Santa Fe Railway has been
contemplating for several years, will
be under way within the next three
weeks, according to local officials OF
the company. A corps of engineers
with diamond drills is due to arrive
here in few days to make prelimi'
nary test bore to find the easiest route
Of going through the hill.
The tunnel will be one mile long
and most of the way it will be blasted
out of solid rock. 1t Is estimated that
it will take two years to complete the
work. It will cost an enormous amount
of money but in the end will be saw
ing for the Santa Fe Railway.
To reach the present tunnel in the
mountain it requires three large
mountain engines to push eight passen-
ger coaches up the steep mountain
side. There have been a great num-
ber of wrecks on this mountain which
has caused a loss to the Santa Fe OF
many hundreds of thousands of dol
lars. Work will be started on the
Trinidad and Ration sides of the noun
tain.
