Cook Makes Address

Of a victorious warrior.
Cook Makes Address
Responding to the address of we
come Doctor Cook said:
An explorer can not receive
greater honor than the apprecia-
tion of a people who understand
him. In Norway you have many
explorers. and some of them have
been among my dearest friends. /
admire the breadth. energy and
scientific accuracy of Nansen. but
have only had the honor of Sver-
drup's acquaintance for the last few
days, while your Roald Amundsen
is my old friend.
NO modern work of arctic ex-
consulting Nansen. who, by his
force and originality, has made
himself one of the finest explorers
in the world. Our success has had
very important relation to the
work OF Captain Sverdrup.
When his New Land was pub
lished I saw a new route to the
pole, but 1 told no one. The oppor-
tunity came TO try this new route
and Commander Peary seems to be
angry because L did not ask his
permission.
over this route our destiny was
worked out L am. therefore. in =
debted to Sverdrup. his companions
and the people of Norway who sent
him. for the fruit of our contest.
Amundsen is starting out for a
new polar campaign. He is the
man for the prospective work. Now
il is asked: Since we got to the
pole, why another expedition To
this 1 am bound to answer that the
book of arctic exploration has only
just been opened.
We have been To the boreal cen
ter by sled: we have borne all that
we could, but we left much for
Amundsen and future generations
TO do. The next problem will be
the study of the deep sea. This
Amundsen viii undertake. and all
the world should help him.
Another problem is the tracing
of the origin of the Eskimos. A
Danish expedition is in prospect
for this purpose under Knud Ras-
mussen- He also needs liberal sup
port.
You have received me with open
arms. Your welcome rings with
the cheers of friendship l am glad
I can say that to Nansen. Sverdrup.

you represent belongsla large share

WOMEN WORKERS IN ITALY.

A recent inquiry in Italy in re- gard to women workers shows that out of 224,717 registered laborers, over 45,000 were women, while out of total of 35,629 employers 1,1S2 were women. There are more wom- en employed in Lombardy than any other district. The Italian woman has no right to her property after marriage and no control of her dow ". She cannot sign or draw check on her own money, and her evidence is not accepted in law court against her husband Italian women are hoping to change all this and get the right of franchise besides, and Queen Margherita is said to be in sympathy with the movement to ob- tain it, and have better laws made for women.

FROM COWBOY TO PRESIDENT
Career of Present Head of Panama Republic Has Been Full of
 Romantic Incidents.

President Obaldia's career is as full of adventure and romance as the country over which he rules. A brakeman on the Panama railroad, in the days when the fever and the scorpions of the jungle were spiling up an annual death list of one man in every five from the company's pay roll cowboy on a Mexican ranch, where he who shot best and shot first was the victor in all points of dispute-these were the early stepping stones of his career, leading finally through the fortunes of revo- lution to the governorship of the province of Panama.
 When it is remembered that he was educated at the leading college centers of both South and North America, says Hampton's Magazine, graduating from the University of Bogota and proceeding to New Haven, where he studied at Yale although never matriculated-his training for the presidency of the storm tossed republic of Panama can be appreciated. And it was all rounded off by a term in a Panama prison, as a result of the war with Colombia in the early years of the present century.

there surely in the near future" he
said. Excellent progress is being
made in the reorganization and the

resumption of work at the smelters at

MODERN DREDGER TO y-,,
DOUBLE WORK AT HUMBUG


An immense dredger, weighing 95,-
600 pounds, and designed to handle
the gold-bearing gravel Of Humbug
Creek, fifty miles north of Phoenix
at the rate of 1000 eBbie yards per
day, arrived at Glendale several days
ago for the Flour Gold Mining Com
panw. W. A. BOnduTant of Los An
geles, president and general manager
of the company, arrived in Phoenix
last night and left for Glendale today
to arrange for the Transportation Of the
machinery ia Humbug.
Little aas been heard in Phoenix re-
garding this mining proposition, though
AIR. Bondurant has spent 100000 for
his company, right in this city, during
the last eighteen months. A great deal
of machinery has been laid down at
Glendale by the Santa Fe, and freight
ed across to Humbug sreek by wagon.
The reason for so little being heard of
It is that no stock is for sale. Tae
present members Of the Flour Gold
Mining Company believe they have
such a good proposition that. they do
not care to let anyone else in on the
deal.
The company is already working a
large force of men, who are operating
hydraulic plant that washes the gold
from 1000 eubie yards Of gravel every
day. When the dredger is in opera
ton. when will be as soon as it can
be set up, the capacity of The eompa-
ny's plant will be just doubled.
1--WE are going right ahead and say
ing little about it,, said Mr.. Bondu-
rant this morning. ''The gold is there
and all we need is the machinery to
wash it out Our hydraulic washer is
bringing splendid returns, and we ex-
pect great things from this dredger. 1t
is of the very latest type, and handled
two yards of dirt a minute wnen l
tested it out in Chicago. The ground
was frozen eighteen inches deep, too.
The manufacturers told me to go ahead
as they would rather have it break
there than out on the desert. \ place
was thawed ont for it to begin, and
after it got started on the frozen
ground it tore up chunks as big as a
hotel safe. The machinery wasn't ev-
en- strained, so l feel pretty certain 1t
Will handle the loose gravel and small
boulders of Humbug creek.
'People should not think that be-
cause a lit of men have talked about
installing gold dredgers on the streams
of Arizona, that dredging will not pay.
There is gold enough in a hundred
places to make it pay, but it takes
money to buy the machinery and get
started"
Mr.. Bondurant was formerly a resi-
dent of Phoenix, but went to Los
Angeles a few months ago. He mas
been engaged in mining ever since,
and has made several lucky deals,
which brought large returns.
