mediately announced that Mclean
VAS appointed 10 the position OF
attorney for the receiver.
Secures contlnusnces.
Since the appointment OF the re-
ceiyer. despite the urgent claims OF
the creditors demanding that the
property be sold In order that their
claims might be satisfied. the re
ceiver has secured continuance
every time the court was about to
sell the claims; nor has he been
able to raise money In any other
way. An appeal to the stockholders
brought In t75.
Because ~ the action Of Judge
Ronald ia granting a third exten.
sion Of 30 days before the prop
erty can be sold. the creditors and
minority stockholders begin TO see
thsir chance Of getting anything
out OF the receiver go giimmer
ing.
This means that the property
will not be sold until October %.
which will be too late 10 ever do
any assessment work on the claims
At all. by that time the property
viii be covered with many feet OF
snow.
When this happens the claims
revert back to the government. and
are open TO other prospectors. But
the chances are good that some
member Of the Thrasher Fiuhart
family would be on the Job and
stake off the claim again as was
originally done.
No Accounting Made.
In the receivers report 10 the
court. the minority stockholders
claim that the $4,000 In stock
which was paid out for work done
on the claims. was credited 10 the
cash account. and that no account
Of this $4,000 in cash was ever
made.
N this In true some officer OF
the company is either $1,000
richer or else he has made an
error: and II the latter is true
he should be able TO show where
the $1,000 can be found.

had succumbed to the strangling grip
OF the abysma horrors Of the region.
And 1t was in April that the orbit of
the midnight sun carried its brilliant
occupant over the horizon. The glitter
on the greenwhite pack ice and the
purple tinged bergs was u stimulant to
the nerve worn invaders Of the grim
silence. The dogs began to sicken.
Those that dropped dead in the stiff
/ ened harness were eagerly devoured
by their mates Thus the team of
huskies became self supporting.
A temperature of more than 40 de-
grees below zero prevailed in spite of
the rays of the midnight sun. The
day came when but 100 miles of ice
pack lay between DR.. Cook and the
North pole-On, on, around. up, down,
back and again on, circumventing the
shifting barriers, outwitting the frozen
starvation, of freezing torture and
blighted hopes that the story OF the
search for the pole has been written.
And 1t rematled for Dr. Cook IN
the year 1908 to achieve what had
become to be considered, the impossi-
BILE, to accomplish what SO many
dauntless men had attempted, to win
immortal fame by actually \penetrat-
ing to the north poe. -
And also n6 played a sensational
part in q battle of giants in as pretty
a story of intense rivalry between
strong men as has ever been imagined
by the most romantic fictionists. In
short, DR.. Cook fulfilled the dearest
wish of his financial hacker, John r.
Bradley, wealthy New Yorker, who
had registered a grim determination
that Commander Robert Z. Peary
should not be the Srst man to reach
the pole. Bradley, millionaire who
has hunted and climbed mountain
peaks with DR.. Cook, was confident
that Peary could be beaten to the pole.
Who was the man to do it? That was
the question. Cook? The very man,
thought Bradley-the very man to back
with million dollars in cash for such
a venture. az, " f''-'7-7''

gan a tortuous trek over the mysteri'
Gus polar sea.
Averaging from ten to fifteen miles
a day of progress. week after week
passed. Strictest economy in the use
of provisions was practiced. of course.
He discovered large area of hither-
to unknown land. seemingly many
thousands Of square miles in area, and
reached the northernmost limit Of
rocky formation. From that point there
stretched before him the gray expanse
of the northern polar ocean. dulling TO
the eve, stupendous TO the imagination,
but treacherous as the quivering quick
sands that softly and surely smother
and kill.
Overpowering winds often drove the
venturers into caverns or temporary
ice huts. The cold was the coolest
ever experienced by white man who
afterward lived. In April DR.. Cook
was in latitude So degrees 81 minutes,
longitude SO degrees 81 minutes. No
more land was TO be seen. The Ice
pack was moving with the currents
and threatened to sweep him far to
the eastward. Change Of direction.
