Walter Wellman would start three or
four days from the date Of writing.
He said the explorer would take SIM
ply an engineer and one other man
with him.
CLIMAX OF YEARS OF WORK.
For several years Mr. Wellman has
been working to carry out his belief
that the north pole can be discovered
in an airshiD. He has made two ex-
petitions by sledge and boat into the
polar regions and is well acquainted
with conditions there. His airship
theory grew out of his experience and
his study Of the progress Of aeronau-
tics. After two years of preparation
his dirigible balloon. the "America,"
first assembled from Danes Island.
Spitzenbergen. Sept. 2. 1907, carrying
Mr. Wellman and two assistants, to
make the dash for the pole. A furious
storm made progress impossible. and
the party descended safely on a gla-
cier.
The initial expedition Of Mr.. Well
man in quest of the pole was made in
1894, by sledge and boat, from Spitz-
bergen, and reached latitude 81 de.
grees. His second trip was made. by
the same means. in 1S9S-99. when he
penetrated to latitude 80 degrees
north. Then Mr.. Wellman turned his
attention to the airship problem.
Louis GODDARD, the French expert, was
given an order to construct the larg-
est and strongest dirigible balloon in
existence. With the exception of the
Zeppelin craft, no airship of the bal
loon type ever has been constructed
SO large as the America"

the early summer of 1906. the Amer

July. 1t was found to have so many
defects that it was sent back to God.
ards shops to be reconstructed. In
the following summer it again reached
Danes Island. Gales and the work of
perfecting the details of the airship
delayed Mr.. Wellman until Sept 2,
when the ascent was made. Owing to
the lateness of the season, no other
attempt was possible in 1907. The
America" has since been in storage.
The Initiating of it began July 81.
Mr. Wellman's right-hand man on
his present venture is Melvin Vani-
man, an American electrical and me-
chanical engineer, who for several
years has practiced his profession in
Paris. Arthur Wellman. brother of
the explorer, accompanied the expedi.
ton to Spitzbergen.

"HERMAN DAVIS
Mr.. Davis gives no intimation in
his letter with reference to the source
or origin of the fire.
Capt. Davis went to Dayton about
1887, and worked for wages on the
Rae dredger He tried to make a
success OF that, but soon perceived
/ the task TOO big for the capital be-
hind it. Cyaniding was then a new
thing. He saw lots OF tailings lying
around loose all over the country, and
ascertained that they contained gold
and silver, and ought to be made to
! pay. He constructed a baby cyanide
! plant, and invented system of his
own. He enlarged the plant faster
, than his means, and was many times
far behind in the payment OF wages.
/ but always finally paid. Captain Da-
j Wis has always had force Of men at
work. He has reduced ores at
profit that no one else could or would
touch He has purchased many min
ing claims, and tailings, until now
! he owns property that cannot be eX-
hausted within century. He has
been the heart that has pumped and
forced blood throughout the veins and
arteries of Dayton ever since he has
been there. No man who has ever
worked for Captain Davis, or advanc-
ed him a dollar or dollars worth
of credit has any kick coming, an
none has ever been heard of.

The next query:

The next query:
is it necessary that stock ISSUED
prior to April Is, 1909. be stamped OF
designated treasury" or promotion
sequently surrendered for transfer Ol
to be cut up into smaller blocks?
The language OF Section 6 of the
Act is as follows:
From and after April 10. 1909,
il Shall be unlawful for any cor
poration or any officer, agent or
director thereof, owning or
developing any mining property
in this state, to issue any written
or printed certificate representing
one or more shares of its stock
upon which certificate If
not stamped or printed the words
Treasury Stock" etc.
The Act prohibits the issuance OF
certificate unless surch certificates
are stamped or otherwise designated
as therein required. To issue as de
fined by photographers, signifies &c
send out; to put into circulation.
Instead OF the word certificate OF
the word shares" or stock had
been used then tAis section would
not require certificates Teresenting
stock heretofore issued when pre-
sented for transfer to be so marked,
put the legislature has ex industria
used the word certificate" and has
not recognized the inconvenience or
hardship that may be incurred by
some corporations in entertaining the
character of early issues OF stock in
order that when such certificates are
surrendered for transfer after AprlI
they may be properly marked; how
ever, | am of the opinion that such
is the case. as the statute in direct
terms prohibits the issuance OF GER
tificates representing one or more
shares of stock in mining corpora
tions owning, leasing. working or
developing" mining property within
this state and selling or Offering for
sale any of its stock or snares there
in unless such certificates designate
the class OF stock they represent as
defined by said act.
