 Message to Wife.
HIS SHIP ROOSEVELT SAFE.

New York, Sept. S.-Dispatches from Commander Robert Edwin Peary show that he reached the north pole April 6, 1909, eleven months and sixteen days after the date Dr. Frederick A. Cook reports that he got there.
 Commander Peary when he reached the worlds apex thought he was the first explorer to attain the goal, and he nailed the stars and stripes to a post to mark the spot. He had no means of knowing that Dr. Cook had visited the scene and buried in the ice a United States, flag and q tube containing a statement of his voyage. He found no trace of pr. Cooks expedition in the arctic regions.
 The first wireless report received from Commander Peary came from

 Commander Peary announced his success in discovering the north pole to his wife, who is summering at Ea- gle Island. Me, as follows:

 In replying Mrs. Peary sent the fol. lowing dispatch.
 Commander R. F. Peary, Steamer Roosevelt, Chateau Bay:
 All well. Best love. God bless you Hurry home. JO."
 Peary's visit to the north pole fol. lowing that of Dr. Frederick A. Cook created a coincidence such as the world will never see again. Two Amer jeans have planted the flag uf theil country in the land )f ice which man has sought to penetrate for four cen turies, and each ignorant of the others conquest has flashed within a period of five days a lacOnic message of sue cess to the waiting world.
 Peary left New York July ', 1908 taking a train for Sydney, where ht was to meet Captain Bartlett and tho ship Roosevelt. Theodore Roosevelt then president, visited Peary's ship 1T New York harbor the day before Peary left.

 At Etah Peary established a station for training EskimOs and dogs and ac cumulating supplies. On former expe ditiOns it had been his plan to take hi! ship as far north as he could pene trate and there put into winter quar- tp:s, using Etah as a base of supplies.

Live Spiders Food For Young Wasps.
 The young of some wasps can live only on live spiders, and the mother wasp therefore renders the spider powerless by her sting, after which it can live a month, and then deposits it in the cocoon where she has laid her egg. On matching out the wasp grubs feed on the bodies of the living spi- ders. Another wasp deposits her egG in the body of the spider, which is then buried alive and is fed upon by the wasp grub.-London Standard.

WILLIAMSON MINES ENCOURAGED BY
 INDICATION
OPENING OF GREAT ORE BODIES ON ADJOINING PROPERTIES
 ENHANCES VALUE
GROUP TWENTY-SEvEN CLAIMS
PROPERTY IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO MINES OF MIAMI AND
 INSPIRATION

With the finding of the same kind of ore in schist in the shafts of the Miami, Inspiration, Live Oak and Cac- tus mines in the Miami mining district, the value of number of groups of claims lying in line with the great ledge, which apparently runs across the whole region in which these mines are located, has been greatly enhanced.
 One of the properties most favor ably situated for future development and one which must, from the contour of the country, be traversed by the great vein on which the Miami, In spiration, Cactus and Live Oak mines are sinking and drifting, is that belong ing to D. R. Williamson, the treasurer of Gila county and one of the men most interested in the mining devel- opment of the Globe and Miami dis. tricts.
 The properties in question include twenty-seven claims, and three men in the employ of Mir. Williamson are now at work there driving tunnels. So far about eight tunnels have been driven for distances varying from 10 to 100 feet, and this work has resulted in good copper showings.
 Although the surface indications are the best that could be expected, 1t is practically certain that the main ore bodies of the Miami vein lie from 150 to 200 feet below the surface, as that is the depth at which the vein has first been struck in the Miami shaft and in the Joe Bush workings of the In spiration mine The location of MT. Williamson $ property makes the strik- ing of the ore bodies by sinking com, parative certainty for the claims lie on direct line drawn between the property of the Cactus Development company and the Live Oak mine. The Cactus mine is about three miles dis tant, and the Live Oak is only abou' mile away.
 The geological map shows body of the Pinal schist on the Williamson property, and along the Gila congiom. | crate and the schultz granite on this group of claims, splendid copper show | ing in Pinal schist are found.
 Ii is understood that the Cactus De velopment company is planning to build wagon road down Cottonwood gulch | to meet the road that already leads fom the Williamson property to the Live Oak mine. where the terminal oi the railroad will be when the laying of the track is finished.
