EXPLORERS DISAGREE.
Commander Peary Declares Dr.. Cook
Did Not Find Pole.

NEW YORK, Sept. 8.-The lie was
hurled today concerning the discovery
of the north pole and the foundation
for controversy is unparalleled in
history.
Comm ander Robert Peary is making
uncertain progress southwark off the
coast of Labrador in his ship, the
Roosevelt, but there came from him
today message as direct as his
homeward journey has been slow. 1t
challenges the veracity of DR.. Fred.
rick A. Cook, and further complicates
Cooks claim with the intim alton that
he Peary) J, and he alone, planted the
flag at the north pole on April 6, 1909,
and that DR.. Cook, who asserts that
he unfurled the flag at the pole on
April 2l, 1908, must substantiate his
claims.
At Copenhagen, Cook, when shown
his rivals statement, stood by his
guns, declined to enter into a debate
and calmly stated that his records
would sustain him.
To prove the right OF discovery be-
fore the entire world beyond shadow
of doubt. he announced he will dis.
patch ship to Greenland and bring
to America his Esouimaux compan.
ions. Then, with their testimony, and
his data, he declares, he will stand
ready to face all detr actors.

warmer here. Commander Peary's
statement is unanimously accepted as
true, but there is very large follow.
ing faithful to DR.. Cook. His lecture
before the geographical society to-
night, however, added little to the in.
formation he had given out with ref.
erence to his expedition, and he re.
peated his intention to withhold de-
tails until the publication of his book.

eral G allen handed down q number ot
opinions yesterday covering various
puzzling matters. He held that q
married woman cannot file on lands

 CLEVELAND WSlTORS-Captain J. NJ. Goldman, Mrs. Goldman and their daughter. accompanied by Byron Leon l ard, Mrs. Godman's brother, will arrive today from Cleveland, ohio. to visit sometime in the home of General and
 Mrs. A. J. Sampson. They have been ] friends of the Simpsons for many years, the general having known MT, Godman's father during his incum
 bency of. three terms as auditor of the
 state offOhio.
 POSTCARD POINTERS-For the benefit of the post card mailing public which daily drops into the local post. office many cards that go direct to the
 dead letter office, attention is called to
 a few facts. One is that cards bearing tinsel, mica and similar decorations are not mailable unless they are enclosed
 in sealed envelopes. Another is in re- spect of double post cards, the long folded kind that in reality amount to
 several post cards and should be sold by the yard instead of by the piece.
 These are not post cards under the law, but primary second class matter
 if mailed that way and if written on
 become first class matter requiring let ter postage The regular reply post card furnished by the government does not come under this head.
 AN INCIDENTAL awkward and
 needless newspaper reporter fell head first down the dark circular stairway
 in the court house yesterday after
 noon, peeling a shin, bruising a knee cap spraining a wrist, dislocating his
 necktie and rubbing in the dirt his 1907 model derby hat. In the dark ness he failed to distinguish between
 the lighter colored back part of the individual stairs and the iron pro lection on the front edge. stepped
 too far, and secured all the effects of inebriety without even the flavor
 of a drink. It is suggested that it
 would be a good idea to keep the incandescent over the stairway turn ed on, for the benefit of casual wis
 itors to the building who have neith CT squirrel toes nor a trained famil- iarity with the structure. Some day somebody really worth killing will
 fall down stairs and meet with se
 rious injury. The heart of the pop
 ulace will then swell with sympathy
 and everybody will be sorry-that it

Mines and Mining Stocks
SIOUX CON. MAKES
JUMP ON CHANGE
Heavy Orders for Stock Give
Shorts SCare-C0I0rad0
Goes Lower.

Sioux Consolidated yesterday met with
unexpected support. which caused the
shorts to experience a feeling of trepi-
dalton. Everything that was offered was
taken readily at steadily advancing prices,
the stock having sold up to 54c, after hav-
ing started at 4Sc. The closing sales were
at 53c.
Just what is behind the new movement,
aside from the recent announcement that
pay ore had been entered by the drift on
the 45O-fOOt level, did not appear. 1t is
regarded as not improbable that the ore
developments on the lower level are more
important than the public has been ready
TO believe was the case. At any rate or
ders poured in for the stock at a rate
which Indicated that many have become
convinced that it is good buy.
Continued decline of Colorado from $l.15
TO M.0f3 is not so easily accounted for
as is the advance of Sioux. Talk that the
cOmpany's dividend may be reduced with
but there was no adverse news from the
mine in support of the rumor. Even
should the dividend be cut in two, there
is nothing to indicate that the stock
would not then be worth more than the
present selling price.
Columbus and Iron Blossom were steady
around zoe each; Red Warrior, which
opened a few days ago at $3.50 a share,
sold yesterday at $3.50 to $3.50 upon news
of new strike in the mine; Grand Cen

WILL OPEN MINE
NEAR COMSTOCK
Salt LakerS Take Control of a
Promising Prospect East
of Virginia City.

WITH the prospect of opening a valua-
BILE gold-silver mine just across the Car
son river from the old COmstock lode, a
strong syndicate of Salt Lake capitalists
has taken over control of the ROsedale
Mining company and has started the cam
paign of development which, it is believed,
will quickly bring results. The purchas-
ing syndicate includes Henry Newell,
Frank Judge, w. ]. HallOran and F. NJ.
Wilson.
The group of claims owned by the Rose
dale Mining company. which is 16 miles
east of Virginia City, covers a strong
ledge in formation almost Identical with
that of the Comstock lode. On the sur
face are two prominent OutcrOppings, ag-
gregating 500 feet on the strike of the
ledge, and which give average values Of
So a ton! A tunnel 200 feet long cuts
the ledge at the depth of 400 feet. about
midway between the two ore shoots which
show on the surface. Drifts have been
run 100 feet on the vein, but neither ore
shoot has vet been encountered.
The new owners have started the work
of continuing the drifts both ways, with
the intention of extending them through
the ore shoots which give so much prom
Use on the surface. The ore has been To-
Gated in place by trenching and sink
ing to shallow depth, and no reason
appears why they should not extend to
great depth.

Ohio COPPER MILL
IS READY TO GRIND
Filling Ore Bins Is Under Way,
Mill to Start the Coming
Week.

With the exception of a brief wait
necessary to permit the transformers to
dry before they may be used, the big
concentration of the Ohio Copper company
is ready to be placed in commission. The
delay may extend over period OF sew
eral days, but it is almost certain that
the mill will be started next week grind
ing ore,
Machinery for one-half of the mill is all
ia place and the Telluride Power com
pany will today complete its connectl ions
for turning on the electric power. The
work of filling the ore bins in the mine
is under way; the showing out or the ore
over the double-tracked electric tramWay
through the MascOtte tunnel can be start
ed upon a moments notice
One section of the mill, OF the nominal
capacity of 600 tons a day, viii be placed
in commission first. As soon as the ma
in good working order the second section
will be started Then the bringing IN or
the second half of the mill Will be ac-
cOmplished within a short time.
While the assured capacity Of the mill
is Go tons a day for each section, Gen
eral Manager Colin Mcintosh is counting
upon providing ore at the rate of 100 tons
a day for each section. He accordingly
expects within a couple OF weeks AFTER
the start shall have been made to be
handling 150O tons a day, with that out
put doubled when the second section OF
the mill is placed In commission.
Which means that soon after the first
of the year Ohio Copper should be pro-
ducing more than 100000 pounds of cop
per a month, giving 1t a place among the
large producers Of the metal That II
will be able to turn out the metal at as
low a cost as any other company. or
very nearly as low, appears to be as

and with 400 feet Of stopping ground. II
