merican explorer had reached the
the same goal.
This natural feeling of exulta-
ton was, however, quickly dim
med by the criticisms and accu-
atoms which followed the first
cable dispatches, which made it
patent to all that the claim of
one of the explorers was to be
disputed by his rival, and that
the public was to be treated to a
long-drawn-out and tiresome con
%Uroversy.
1t is unfortunate that the daily
press, in its eagerness for news
items and for copy" controver-
sial and sensational in character.
should have seized upon these ex-
ceptiOnal circumstances, with a
view of fomenting a bad feeling
which was regretted by all, and
that, in many cases, it should
have taken sides, not with the
view so much of reaching the
truth as to become partisanS in
a controversary, with a view Of
stimulating circulation and pri-
vate gain.
This deplorable attitude is not
! confined to this country, as the
same journalistic policy is notice
able in the foreign press. This is
a mere condition Of the times.
The truth in regard to both
these explorations must and will
be known. Honor must be given
where it belongs.
1t is a somewhat unusual prec-
edent to doubt the statements of
discoveries, especially when they
had been connected with any pa-
ticular line of exploration for a
period of many years. 1t is most
fortunate, however, that the two
parties to the controversy should
both be Americans, and that ther
is no danger Of the dispute asSum
ing an international aspect.
Those who are in position to
judge OF these matters-the sci
entific men who have interviewed
the explorers-me many of them
of the opinion, at the time we are
going to press, that the descript-
ion of the exploration of Com
mander Peary tends to confirm
the conditions as described by
DR.. Cook.
OF all fields of human endeay-
or, there is none to which the
the world has been ready to ac-
cord greater respect than that Of
geographical research and, be-
cause of the multitude Of dangers
and h%ardships of Artic travel, the
men who have pushed out fur
thest in the quest Of the North
Pole have been especially favor
ed with national attention and
municipal honors.
With a unanimity out Of all
proportion to the results TO be
obtained, it has come to be re-
cognized that the most valued
prize Of the few that remained
to be won by the explorer was re-
served for hin who should first
set his foot upon that point which.
forms the northern extremity of
the earths axis. With the slow
passage Of the centuries, each
bearing away its roll Of men who
sacrificed their lives in the eff
fort to solve the secrets that lie
within the Attic Circle, the quest
for the North Pole had come to
take on, moreover, a certain col
or Of romance, which detraeted

Open to Prospecting.

The Mexican Herald, Of the 10Th
INST, gives the answer of the de-
partment of Fomento, to the in
quiry of mining men as to why the
w. G. Greene exclusive mineral
concession Ell nearly 100000 acres
in chihuahua and Sonora did not
expire by Limitation on the 18th
inst. and why that immense terri
tory was not on that day thrown
open to location. The Herald says:
"The official mayor of the de
partment of Fomento stated yes
terday that the government would
mot grant a time concession on the
mining concession, formerly grant
ed to Col. w. c. Greene, in the
state of Chihnhua, nor will SINH
lar concession be granted to anyone
else, it being the purpose of the de-
partment to open that territory to
public prospecting within the next
lew uaJo'
"When, on the 18th of the pres
ent month it was made known that
the Greene concession had lapsed,
hundreds OF miners from all parts
of the country rushed TO Chlhua
hua, where many claims were i'm
mediately staked out. TO the dis
com6ture of the pro5pector5 tine
local officials refused to file claim
on that part of the state compre
hended by expired Greene conces
sion, and as no reason was given
it was generally supposed that thu
Greene interests had again secured
the concession.
"The reason of this refusal hat
turned out TO be that special order
