coast somewhere between the Parry is
lands and Wrangel Land. The expedi.

May. 1906, flying the British and
American flags.
A report from Captain Mikkelsen
and from Ernest Leffingwell of Knox

north of Alaska had covered 500 miles
and that the explorers had crossed the
edge of the continental shelf twice,
while their soundings at fifty miles on
the coast showed depth of 1000 feet

party got safely to land by crossing
the Ice on sledges.

MANY PEOPLE BURIED ALIVE
Terrible Catastrophe In a Sc
Guided District of East
ern Russia.

Tashkend, Russia Turkestan, Octo-
Der 31.-The little town of Karatagh,
in the Hussar district of Bokhara, has
been overwhelmed and completely de-
stroyed by landslide that followed
the earthquake of October q.
According to the latest reports of
the disaster, a majority of the in
habitants of Karatagh lost their lives.
The first reports of the casualties
were exaggerated the death list being
placed as high as $4,000. Karatagh
has about $500 dwellers, and there is
reason to believe that about LOO
were buried alive. Among those who
survived the disaster are the Governor
OF Karatagh and his mother.
Karatagh is remotely situated and
it takes full week for news to get
out from there, but according to one
courier who has come through, an
enormous section of the Karatagh
mountain, which practically hung ov-
er the town, broke loose and thunder
ed down upon the village, which is
almost completely buried.
Efforts are being made to get in
to communication with the survivors
and learn the actual facts and to send
in such relief as may be required.
In the Russian gazetteers Kara
tagh is described as being on the
river Surkhan, a tributary of the Am
udarya.
REPORT CONFIRMED.
London, October 31.-A dispatch re-
ceiyed BY the Reuter- Telegram Com
pany from st. Petersburg confirms
the report of the great landslide dis
