HAS EVEN CHANCE
Doctors Think Governor Will
Live if He Survives
Crisis Today.

ROCHESTER,, Mian, Sept. 2O.-While
according to DR.. C. H. Mayo, the doc
tors still consider the governor in
grave danger.
DIR. Charles F. McNevin issued q
bulletin at $3.50 this morning saying
the governor had just about an even
chance. The five full days following
the operation would be up at IL o'clock
this morning, he said, and If he suc-
cessfully passed that period. and could
would grow better.
DIR. McNevin explained that by solid
food" he meant some weak tea
The high respiration of this morning,
the doctor explained, was due to the
distension caused by gas. 1t is, of
course, a symptom that causes some
anxiety, but it not necessarily grave.
Mrs. Johnson is almost on the verge
of q nervous breakdown and her condi-
ton is causing her friends worry.
Later DR.. McNevin issued a bulletin
as follows:
''Governor Johnson is resting COM
fortably but is not sleeping. HeIs hav-
ing considerable trouble and distress
from gas pains. I should say that his
condition is practically unchanged from
the last bulletin, except that his res
piration has dropped to a point be-
tween 2S to 80. We have given him
about one quart of nourishment since {
O'Clock this morning in the shape of
carbonated water.
His weakened condition this fore
noon did not permit giving him weak
tea or strained broth, as we had hoped.
"The crisis period of five days will be
passed at II o'clock. All l can say now
is that his chances are still about
even"

SYDNEY, N. s., Sept. 20.-The tug
Douglas H. Thomas, which left Battle
Harbor Saturday morning in company
with the Peary steamer Roosevelt, ar
rived here at daylight this morning
and reported the Roosevelt travelling
south under steam and sail at a speed
approximately ten knots an hour. She
should be off sydney at or 6 o'clock
this evening, and the buildings of the
town, together with the shipping in the
harbor, are today gay with futtering
display of flags in anticipation of Com
nander Peary's return. The streets
present a holiday appearance and the
people are on the tiptoe of expectancy.
According to the statement made last
saturday at Battle Harbor by William
Prtchard cabin boy and assistant cook
on the Roosevelt, two persons knew as
long ago as last April that DIR. Freder-
lex A. Cook claimed he had reached the
pole April q of 1908. These persons are
Harry Whitney a wealthy sportsman,
of New Haven, who is at present on
the Greenland coast on board the
stamer Jeanie and Pritchard himself.
They saw Cook at Onnotok Greenland,
after his return from the North.
The only reference to DIR. Cook which
Whitney is known to haye made dur
ing his brief sojourn on board the
Roosevelt was a casual remark to a
member of the Peary party that he be-
lieved that DR.. Cook had reached the
pole. Pritchard kept the news even
more faithfully, and his statement of
Saturday was the first intimation that
he had any information on this subject.
Pritchard explained Saturday that he
kept the news to himself because he
did not wish to be dragged into the
trouble. He was asked how he knew
before he came south on the Roose-
welt, that there was going to be con-
troversy, and declared that DR.. Cook
had cautioned him not to speak to any
one until he reached civilization
Pritchards retcence with this i'm
portapt news in his possession was a
complete surprise to everybody on
board the Roosevelt.

PROJECT TO COST $1,000. 900.
Big Undertaking Commenced by the
H0mesaakc Mining Company.

The Homestake Mining company, OF
Lead, has just commenced another
mammoth undertaking that will in
voive the expenditure Of over $1,000
000 and will require at least a year
and a half under propitious circum-
stances to complete.
The new undertaking, on which the
actual constructive work will start in
thirty days IL the weather prove e "a
sonabie. is the building of an electric
power plant on Spearfish creek, at a
point about seven miles from here.
This plant will have a maximum ca
pacity OF 1000 horsepower. which is
to be utilized In the big mills Of the
company In this city. in the mines and
at any other point where 1t may be
needed. The company estimates that 1t
VIII require the services of 200 men
in the carrying out of this project.
One OF the principal parts will be
the building of an intake some five

have been stationed all winter on the
creek securing data as to the flow and
movements Of the stream, tempera-
ture, etc. The conduit will consist OF
eight tunnels varying from 1000 to
1000 feet in length.
BY carrying the water the six miles
to the plant, through pressure pipes.
the company secures a water fall of
700 feet and a minimum loss in rams
mission.
The company already has a 500
horsepower electric plant at Engle-
wood. which will be continued in op-
Grafton in addition to the new one,
which is built chiefly for the mills and
shops in Lead. The mills are now
dropping LOO stamps daily. which
require 2h horsepower to the stamp.
The mines are now furnished power
by the 1000 horsepower compressor
at the Ellison, together with the COM
pressor at the Golden Prospect and
the b. AZ NJ.
The whole work will be in direct
charge of Richard Blackstone, the
chief engineer, under the supervision
