POLE DISCOVERY
Many Changes Must BE Made I'm the
Biographies

THE discovery of the north pole by
Cook and Peary will necessitate
the immediate revision of all Of our
biographies. The maps of the present
and past have shown the polar region
as unknown in it's character. Some
geographers have put down the points
OF farthest north reached by the latest
explorers; others have gone so far as
to write open polar sea" over the gen.
eral region.
This is now shown to be correct
There is ns land at the north pole. 1t
is all sea, or rather ice, for the ice cap
at the pole lasts all the year around
according to the information brought
to us by the two hardy men who have
successfully braved the dangers and
privations of the frozen north
Greenland we have known for some
years to be huge island Doctor Cook
reports that he found some small
islands beyond the northern coast of
Greenland, but he had no time ID ex-
anime them closely, so eager was he to
press on to his goal.
Nova Zembla, Spitzbergen, Greenland
and the outlying islands to the west
ward are now proven to be the northern
limits of the solid earth. The pole is
in the middle of an arctic sea.
lie Noyd6c VI SdpldiH AIHunQSGn, In
the little Gjoa, from Baffins bay around
to Bering sea marks the limit of
northern navigation. Farther north to
any appreciable distance, navigation is
closed the year around Cook and
Peary, in the summer time, had to
travel over ice No vessel could reach
the pole.
The practical results of the discovery
of the north pole are many. besides the
feeling of relief that we all have over
having the nature of the pole ex-
planned. vast deal will in time be
added to our store of knowledge of the
earth's whole crust. now that we know
the nature of the pole. The theory of
the circulation of the winds, of the
ocean currents, of terrestrial magnetism,
may be more or less modified by the
observations made by the arctic ex-
plorers.
At any rate, the entire world can
now be correctly charted. except around
the south pole, which now becomes the
goal of the intrepid explorers The
close approach to it last year of Lieu
tenant Shackelton of the British navy
enlightened us good deal

PRESIDENT TAFT'S VISIT

In Van Ness avenue between Market
and Fell streets were the pupils of the
Boniface primary school, Burnett pri-
mary, Hunters point school, Twentieth
and Connecticut street school, Harrison
school and Bay View grammar school.
They numbered at least 1000 and made
noise enough for twice that number
The Bay View school was especially
vociferous. The pupils had school
yell that could be heard many blocks,
and 1t was certain that President Taft
knew that Bay View was represented.
Between Oak and Fell streets were
lined up pupils of the Ocean shore
school, Sheridan primary, SunnySide
primary, West End primary. Glen Park
and Lake View schools. Each school
had its drummer. who saluted the
president with long rolls on the snare
drum. However, the striking of the
sheep skin could hardly be heard above
the roar that greeted Taft as he passed
along that block.
The Columbia grammar school, the
Douglas primary, Everett grammar
and Edison primary schools sent out
large delegations in charge of teach
ers, with banners flying and flags wav-
ing in time to their shouting. They
made a brave showing. President Taft
waved his hat and smiled, as it
seemed, to every little girl and boy
who stood at the curbstone.
Between Grove and Hayes streets
were the Dudley Stone primary, Frank
lin grammar, Grattan grammar, Irv-
ing NJ. Scott, Lafayette primary and
Laguna Honda schools, and Is pupils
representing the oral school for the
deaf, and 20 pupils of the parental
school. The deaf and dumb pupils
made up for their silence by flag wav-
ing. Many of the other schools were
represented between Fulton and Ellis
streets. The children were adorned
with Portola colors and made a solid
mass of flag wavers along the line of
march.
In Golden Gate avenue between Van
Ness and Leavenworth were the pu-
pills of the Adams grammar, Bergerot
primary, Hooper primary, Frank J.
McCoppin primary, Crocker grammar
Fairmont grammar, Emerson, Redding,
Richmond, Rincon, Fremont Horace
Mann. Marshall Sheridan, Spring Val
ley, Hamilton, Lincoln, Mckinley, Mis-
sion and Hawthorne primary schools.
The boys and girls aid society sent
a large delegation. The boys were at
tired in khaki uniforms and saluted
like soldiers when the president passed.

NEW MINES FOR PIOCHE.
Strike in Black Vault Is Important
Centennial May Be Next.

While disclaiming intention to
minimize the Importance of the ex-
cellent showings in a number Of prop
critics on the Prince belt, in which
systematic development is being car
ried on with every prospect of ulti-
mate large success. d. d. Houtz of
Provo and w. w. Byrne, formerly of
John Hays Hammond's staff, contend
that the Centennial Phoebe Mining
company is not unlikely TO bring in
the next mine in the camp.
The Centennial Phoebe is develop
ing a large group of claims south and
east of the Prince mine. The ground
in that direction Is weii toward the
hill and is covered with wash. 1t was
necessary to sink close to $50 feet
to penetrate the regular formation,
but since the shaft has been in the
regular formation several punches of
manganese ore have been encoun-
tered, and conditions are so favor
able that Superintendent Lloyd OF
the Prince predicts that another 100
feet offs mixing will disclose a large
body of good ore. The Prince veins
all trend east of south, directly to-
ward the Centennial ground, and ev.
.erything indicates that none of-theil
strength will be lost in the distance
covered.
That the Black Vault Mining COM
pany, of which Mr. Houtz and Alex
Goliath are the chief owners, has en-
countered a handsome body of ore is
confirmed by these gentlemen. Az
erage samples taken from the bot
tom of the shaft show values Of about
20 per cent lead and 100 ounces OF
silver to the ton, while good disclos-
ures have been made in other open
ings on the vein.
The Black Vault company is oper
ating on the extension of the fissure

famous, having opened that ore chan
