Special Cable Despatch 10 THE Sun
SIMLA, Sept. 14.-Sven Hedin, the ex-
plorer, has reached Fegu. twelve miles
distant from here. He is, due to errive
here tomorrow.
He says he is enjoying fine health, but
he looks thin and weatherworn. He has
not had days illness and has not touched
medicine In two years.
He has travelled 1000 miles, mostly
in western Tibet, living on whatever he
could get. During the time he did not
smoke or drink liquor.
He says he has made wonderful dis
coveries. but he is keeping the intelligence
thereof for his book.
This was Sven Hedin's third journey
of exploration in Tibet. His sufferings
and discoveries in the early ones, prao-
tically the first revelations Of the mys-
terious realm OF the Dalai Lama. are
we'll known to the public. The expedi-
ton now ending was undertaken in Oc-
tober, 1905. He entered by way Of Kash-
gar despite English official opposition
and crossed the great White Desert, or
Aksa-shn, virgin field for adventures.
Advices from him last January. when he
was at Ngnzon-Tso making for Shigatse.

of his entire equipment. only his maps and
note books being saved. The journey
was one OF frightful rigor. The theatre
was plateau 1000 feet higher than the
snow crowned summit of Mont Blanc.
His ponies were literally frozen to death.
He reported. however. the location OF
many new lakes. rivers and mountains.
Some Of the lakes were fresh, some salt.
He found many important gold fields.
He says the country Is Of extraordinary
mineral richness. Some prospectors 60
out from Lhassa, collect nuggets and re-
tire rapidly from the deadly cold.

emerged into India and there was great
alarm for his safety until 1t was explained
