EXPLORERS IN
BIG WRANGLE

NEW YORK. Sept 9.-Thr lie has
been hurled concerning the discovery
OF tn" north pole, and the foundation
laid for a controversy is unparalleled
in history.
Commander Robert f. Peary is
making uncertain progress south
ware OF the coast OF Labrador, in
$ ship Roosevelt, but there came
from him today message as direct
as his homeward journey has been
SLOW. 1t challenges the veracity of Dr.
Frederick A. Cook, and further COM
plicates situation which tie whole
world is discussing. Peary discreet
It's COOKS claim with the illumination
that he (Peary), and he alone. pant
ed the mag at the nor,l pole on April
b, 1909, and that DR.. Cook wao as
serts that he unfurled the flag at the
pole on April u. 1908. must substan-
tiate his claim.
At Copenhagen, Cook, shown his
rivals statements, stood by his guns,
declined 10 enter into Il debate. and
calmiy asserted that his records
would sustain him. To prove his
right OF discovery before the entire
world beyond a shadow of a doubt, he
announced that he would dispatch Il
ship to Greenland and bring to Amer
lco ais EsquimauX companions. Then,
with their tstimony and his data, he
declares that he will stand ready to
lace all detractors.

EXHIBIT MUST
BENEFIT US

a sood "ny papers are making
:eICreute 90 the coming session OF
the Amel ,.an Mining Congress a,
',oliH"ld. his session prOmiS 5 90
a ii We some times think that We De.-
pie in Nevada do not appreciate as
we should appreciate this event. We
believe this congress will be a great
step forward in Nevada mining Re-
Gently We began the display of our
state ores in the Mineral Palace
and it surely is Il credit to western
mining.
Unless the mining men Of the
country come here and see it, they
will not be able to appreciate the
benefit that such an exhibit will be
TO the mining business. sit will be
sufficient TO know after you AaNe sVJA
it that progress has been made III
Nevada mining and that the state Is
in position TO go farther i'll mining
development.
1t teaches us as surely as anything
teaches that within the next few
years we shall have the greatest era
of commercial mining this country
has ever seen.
1t will be great satisfaction to eN-
cry NeVadan to know that We shall
continue TO be mining state con-
ferring benefits to our nation and 10
humanity.
This exhibit shows what marvellous
development has been made in Me-
Mizpah lode at Tonopah.
Yet Nevada is still in It's infancy
but a strenuous infancy ii Is. We
have learned that originally it tooh
picture ore to make u profit; a.
first our mills We're naturally cruue,
but new methods OF mining haze
vastly improved. The extent OF pro-
duction in the future cannot be pre-
dicted, for each year Yields its quota
of definite ore formations which
clearly points to the almost infinite
possibility of mining in this state
DO these exhibits OF ore pay? DO
these exhibits develop our state?
would like to call your attention
to the following facts: The citizens
OF Ely several years ago made an
exhibit OF copper ore at the Omaha
EXDosition. This ore attracted the
attention OF gentleman and he be-
came interested enough to make an
investigation that has led 20 the III
vestment of over thirty millions OF
dollars there: and What ha, been III
vested there will be but chllu
play to what will be returned III the
production of copper.
In our opinion the display OF ores
of our state, at the GOldfeld Mfnefal
Palace. will cause the mining world
to wake up and take notice. It's
work will continue when the ore Is
taken out and placed i'll the UnINer-
sity at Reno where thousands Will
see it in the future.
This exhibit SHOWS thai no corner
of the state can any one afford 10
condemn, nor think lightly OF the
states possibilities. no one has eV-
er spoken badly OF Nevada mining
without having his words returned 10
damn him. This exhibit is made lot
the commercial mining OF the future,
and nothing appears 50 certain pui
that Nevada will emerge bigger in
wealth and power, than any one can
guess.-Secretary GiVens.
