4 Race of the Flags to the Poles.

New York, July 13.-When Com mander Robert p Peary boards his steamer, Roosevelt, at Sydney, Cape Breton. this week and starts on his expedition in search of the North Pole, an international race to the uttermost ends of the earth will be on. Peary hopes to carry the Stars and Stripes to the North Pole. while a British Antarctic expedition, commanded by Lieut.. Ern- est H. Shackleton, is trying to place the Union Jack of the British Empire at 90 degrees south. Although the American expedition has a year handi- cap in point of time, Peary hopes to win the race.
 Lieutenant shackleton and party left London on July 30, 1907. on board tn e Nimrod, originally Newfoundland sealing vessel of 227 tons. but which had been reftted as a steam barken- tine. Shackleton Is an officer of the British Navy. and before leaving Lon don, King Edward bestowed upon him the Victorian order. He was a mem Der of the British Antarctic expedition of 1902-03 under Captain Scott, and with his commander and another mem Der of the party accomplished a sledge journey with dogs to a point S2 degrees IT minutes south latitude, during which they were absent from their ship. the Discovery, ninety three days and cov- cred a distance of s60 miles. Peary reach a point of degrees minutes north on April 21. 1906.
 The Nimrod's crew all told numbered thirty-two men, including several scl- entists. but the landing party was to consist of but twelve men. The bark entine sailed early in January from New Zealand and returned in March having left the Shackleton party en- camped at the foot of Mount Erebus.
 The party took with them materials for wooden buildings with double doors and windows. to be lined with felt and several inches of granulated cork. Pro- visions and supplies for a long stay were landed. The Nimrod brought hack to New Zealand a tale of dissen- sion in the party. which resulted In the resignation of Captain England. the Nimrod's skipper, and the ship. therefore. will return to the little band early in 1910 without him

Experts Look Over Lotus.

Several mining experts we're engaged
this Week in making a superfc al ex-
am natioa Of the surface workings of
the Lotus group of claims in the inter-
est of prospective purchasers. The
group is located between the Saratoga
and the Old Town mines, and large
proportion of the laterals driven from
the NewhDuse tunnel to connect with
the shafts of tn ose two properties have
b cen driven upon veins belonging to the
L,tus property. which is owned by the
Sternbergers. A considerable amount

Jail Sentence Suspended.

Mrs. Mary Polaro. living in ellison
gulch, was arrested last Tuesday by
Deputy Sheriff O'Rourke upon the COM
plant of Christopher Stangier, who
charged her with having called his l3-
year-old daughter out of the school
house one day last week, and admins
tered a whipping to the young girl.
The case was heard before Justice of
the Peace Wilkins in his new office in
the old city hall Tuesday afternoon,
and Mrs. Paloro was fined $40 and costs.
A Jail sentence was suspended during
her good behavior. The affair was the
result Of some petty differences and
gossip in the gulch, but the method
taken by Mrs. Polaro will not be tole-
rated by the authorities. Had not the
father of the girl made complaint, the
matter would have been taken up by
the school board, as children attending
school are directly under the care and
control of the teachers appointed by
the board. and interference with the
conduct of the schools is a serious
offense.

Denver yesterday, Dominic Job was
released from the penitentiary On pa

The Ward Expereed.

The examination of the Ward mine
workings on Edwards bar was compile
ted the first of the week, when = large
bunch Of samples was taken from all
parts of the property, and the pumps
were pulled out of the shaft. The re-
port of the engineer has not been COM
pleted yet, and it is not known what
recommendations will be made. The
chances are. however, that there will
will be nothing done for some months
to come. The Ward mine has a world
of ore opened up, but it is a grade
which requires handling on a large scale
in order to yield profit 1t is the
firm belief of those familiar with the
Ward mine, that one day the property
will surprise the natives. The big dyke
or vein upon which the Ward is located
coursing from Bear creek to Yankee
hill in northwesterly and southeaster-
ly direction has never been opened at
depth, but in a number of places on the
surface it has shown values which
would place it in the bonan "a class if it
were worked on a large scale. The
Ward shaft is situated at the lowest
point Of vein altitude in the county and
where there is . number of functions
near the surface forming the but par
tally developed ore shoot.

Saratoga Lateral GoinR.

Work was resumed the first of this
week in the face OF the lateral on the
ISaratoga vein in the Newhouse tun-
mel with one drilling and one mucking
shift. The lateral is to be continued
several hundred feet to a po mt directly
under the main shaft, which is over
1000 feet deep and vert cal. After
connection has been made, the produ :
ton of large tonnage from the nir e
miles of workings will be poss BILE. The
work in the head ng of the lateral will
not interfere with the ore now being

raise which was connected with the
tenth level, and daily production OF
from 80 to 40 tons is being maintained,
all of VIII ch comes out through the
p rtaI of the NaWhouse and is hauled to

Another fatal accident occurred in the
Newhouse tunnel at 4:3O o'clock las,
Tuesday afternoon. when loaded ore
car jumped the track and crushed Ed.
ward Jones, colored, an employee OF
the Old Town company, SO severely
that he died the next morning from his
injuries. A small rock on the track
Just before a curve was reached is sup.
posed to have caused the car to leave
the track. Jones and his partner were
coming off shift and were riding on q
train of cars. When the car upor
which they were riding left the track
Jones partner was thrown forward in
to the water ditch and Jones landed
against the side and bottom of the tun'
mel in such manner that the heavy ore
car fell over upon him and the mar
sustained internal injuries which resul
ted in his death the following morning
Edward Jones was 35 years old, ane

Rich Ore In silver Horn

In taking sample of a streak Of ore
in the bottom of the adit on the Silver
Horn mine on Ute creek this week
for prospective lease, An
drew Morell secured good
sized sample Of ore from three-inch
streak which gave returns at the
assayers today Of 9. 20 ounces gold and
$40 ounces in silver per ton. the gross
value of which is S5Os. 48 per ton, Or a
little over rs cents pound. Morelli
and associates expect to take lease
directly under the point where the sam
pies were taken and will unwater the
shaft on the Silver Horn and start a
stope in the lOO-foot or first level east.
The high grade streak of ore in the
Silver Horn is continuous throughout
the entire workings and is accompan-
led by vein of medium grade ore of
varying size. The rich ore ,rr es gr4y
copper in abundance and is assoc ated
with lead and some zinc. Perhaps no
mine in the district has had its ore re-
serves maintained in better cond on
than the Silver Horn. The ov ner, the
pioneer photographer, l.. Mclean, has
steadfastly refused to perm leasers or
any one else to gut the property,
although some years ago much ore was
stolen from the mine, the high grade
material in sight being too great &
temptation for the miners who kne"
where the rich stuff could be reached
with comparative ease. tbs estimated
that the stolen ore returned over $40

HOoSac GOing Soon.

Arrangements are now under way
which will result in the resumption Of
operations in the Hoosac tunnel with n
the next six weeks, according to Off
cial information from an officer of tn |
company. The Hoosac Tunnel and Nj n
ing company has lad It's vjcss tudes,
but the outlook is now such as to IN
sure much new work which will be Of
great benefit to the property and tie
many people who are interested in the
enterprise as stockholders. In IT any
respects the Hoosac is one of the INST
and that it will have a prosperous
future is the belief of mining men IA
miliar with the showing from the
amount of work already accomplished.
The Hoosac is located on one of the
strongest true fssure VEINS in tha d s.
trict, and even should the tunnel opera
tions Of the company fail to be remu-
nerative, there is vast amount of
ground but partially explored lying be-
meath the tunnel level. The workings,
however, have already revealed con-
siderable amount of marketable ore,
but it would hardly be in accordance
with good mining methods.to ship much
if any of the ore at this time. The cor
tinuation of the tunnel into Bellevu !.
mountain where succession of ore
shoots should be opened at increasing
depths, it is believed, will be the policy
of the management before much of a
production will be contemplated.

Blue GOGGLES Worn.

The Central City Observer talks
through its hat this week as fol-
lows:
The electric hoist which was at the
1900 foot level in the Old Town has
been placed on the Becky Sharpe shaft
a part of the Old Town holdings. The
shaft on the Becky Sharpe will be sunk
and levels run. The track has not
been laid in the Hot Time lateral from
the Old Town to the Newhouse and it
is doubtful if shipments will be made
through the tunnel, as it is claimed that
management has found it cheaper to
hoist the ore to the surface and then
send it to the mill in wagons. When
the ore is shipped through the tunnel
it has to be hauled in wagons to the
mill, anyway. The counterbalance
hoist which is to be placed at the 1900
foot level has not been put in as yet.
Lesees in the Old Town, in the various
levels are in fine ore, some Of which
runs away up.
