STORT or EXPEDITION.
1t Was organized Primarily as a
Hunting Pdrfg by j. X. Bradley.

The expedition which ended i'm Dr. Cooks trip
across the polar seas set out from Gloucester on
July g. 1907, i'm The schooner John r. Bradley.
Q, vas organized primarily as a hunting and
fishing tru to- Labrador and Greenland by John
r. Bradley friend ~ tho explorer. DR. Cook
persuaded Mr. Bradley thar by spending a few
additional thousands in supplies and equipnsnt
suitable provision might be made for a polar ex-
petition. and the schooner sailed laden with
stores To- maintain several men for two years.
The Bradley was originally Gloucester fish
erman. and had been equipped with an auxiliary
gas engine. Besides the two explorers she car
ried a crew Of seven men. two from Gloucester
and five from Newfoundland and all familiar
with the Labrador seas. The master was Cap
tain Moses BARTLETT who had been north with
Peary in the Roosevelt.

The most novel feature of Dr Cooks plan was
that he meant to pusH ,tC.'ss the polar sea in

explorers had always done. for summer weather.

was that the ice pack was frozen far more solid

The Nevada-G Garfield Consolidated
Mining company nea Nina after a sus-

operations with l.. X. Gregory in charge

of the company for the future opera

party of New York and Pennsylvania
capitalists are now en- route from New

make an inspection of the property, at
which time it is expected that announce
ment of the plans will be made. In
view of the fact that the company holds
an option on the water owned by
Baker, Storms and Gregory, and also
in view of the fact that there is thous-
ands of tons of good milling ore on the
dumps and thousands of tons more
blocked out in the workings, a mill or
treating plant is one of the possibilities
of the near future.

SHELTER SHIPS
HIGH GRADE BULLION

Recently the Lodi Mines company
made their second shipment Of bullion
representing the first thirty days run
of their big modern smelling plant
which was successfully blown in q short
time ago. Owing to the fact that all
the bullion after leaving the main fur
mace is fed into a cunel furnace and
the principal lead values extracted and
held at the plant the smelter product
as shipped is very high grade, with the
values running in gold and silver. The
exact value the two bullion shipments
was not learned, but from reliable In
formation it is escertained that the put

What promises to bring to Nina
fame in the line of gem stones for
jewelry, is an extensive deposit of
vericite which was recently uncovered
by Messrs. Dunwoody and Prichard in
the Good Range, about eight miles
southwest of Nina, says the Miner. 1t
is conceded to be one Of the most ex-
~tensive deposits ever found in any
locality and the product is declared by
those competent to judge to be of a
superior quality and Of a high CONNER
cial value in the jewelry trade. In APP
pearance it closely resembles turquoise
and is found in the same character of
deposits. 1t differs from turquoise in
that instead of being blue in colors ii
comes in shades Of light green to dark
green with markings of moss and IS
considerable harder texture. 1t $ b.

LAST VICTIM RECOVERED

inquest will be held Saturday after
noon.
On account of the treacherous nature
of the ground where the body was
found, work of ~extricating it mas been
slow. Every foot of the ground has
had to be timbered for protection to
the searchers.
The finding of Mats body accounts
for all of the men who were caught in
the Hampton stope when it caved, SO
far as is known, and ends the work of
the searching party. The body of Evan
Reese, one of the victims, was found

suffocated. The body of w. ]. Bertsch
was found some two weeks ago., crushed
into a pulp by the grinding and sliding
rock, and the recovery of Mats body
completes the list.
In due time the Consolidated will
begin to clear the debris out of the
great stope, and will probably take out
the enormous mass of ore it contains by
the "glory-hole' process. From the
5OO-foot level to the surface the once
famous stope, with its object lesson In
extensive timbering, is a mass OF broken
ore. waste and debris, filed with great
sticks of timber which, if again invest

GIROUx SHELTER
DEPENDS ON SHAFT

ELY, New, Nov. 19.-G. L. C'Tex'')
Richard has returned to Ely after a
business trip of two weeks, in which
he visited Salt Lake City, Duluth,
Minneapolis and st. Paul. He says that
Ely is the "big talk in every city
he has visited, and that there is almost
as much intimate knowledge of the
camp and the district everywhere he
has beer as there is in the camp itself.
From all that he was able to learn
while on this. trip, no definite plans
will be made by the Cole-Ryan opera
tors to build a smelter or concentrat-
ing plant here until the new three
compartment shaft on the Giroux is
completed and the property is thor
oughly opened up to a production of a
great daily tonnage Of ore.
Ely Calumet, said Mr.. Richard, has
the distinction of being the first stock
to be listed in the new Salt Lake
stock and mining exchange. The first
sales were at Accents , and it is predict
ed that it will reach the so cent mark
before the end of the week.
Mr.. Richard announced that George
F. Piper, who interested Thomas F.
Cole in the Giroux property and was
instrumental in causing the Cole-Ryan
combination to secure a foothOld in
this district, will be in Ely December
Is, with a party of twelve or fifteen
of mining and business men, shrewd,
conservative investors who want to
see for themselves what this district
is destined to do. The party will
come in a private car and will spend
several days in the district, making
as thorough a study of the camp as
possible in the limited time at their
disposal.
Within the next few days Mr.. Rick
ard will leave for New York on bust
ness relating to the Ely interurban car
line.
When asked if his trip had anything
to do with a possible bid for the jeff
~ries-Johnson fight, he said: 81 am in
the mining business
