close range. In 1898 w. A. Dickey
crossed over from the Copper river
country and, with the wonderful cour-
age and indomitable will of the Amer
lean prospector, launched a fraii craft
on the t~reacherous waters of the Su-
shitna river.
His journey down the river to the
sea took him past the southern foot
hills of the Alaskan range. Seeing
Bolshoy for the first time. he named
it Mount Mckinley and estimated it's
height with remarkable accuracy at
$1,000 feet.
The leader of the Fairbanks eXpedi-
ton was Tom Lloyd. He set out with
William X. Taylor, Charles McGonigle,
Robert Horn. Charles Il. Davidson and
William Lloyd. Davidson is an eXpe-
rienced civil engineer. He, with Nc
Gonigle. undertook before the eXpedi-
ton started on its ascent to survey the
mountain from the base In order to
discover what was the most likely
means of ascent.
The men who put up the money for
the expedition were William McPhee
and August Peterson Of Fairbanks.
They also put up $4,000, to be forfeited
in case no member Of the expedition
reached the summit by July 4. The
party left Fairbanks Dec. %, 1909. 1t
was preceded by Peter Anderson, who
started some weeks before it to estab-
lish Il camp in the Mount Mckinley
territory. Tom Lloyd at the moment
he left did not intend to begin the final
climb until some time in May.
Decided to Use Cooks Maps.
The Cook controversy was still hot
when the party left Fairbanks, and it
was intended to find out whether the
summit showed any evidences Of DR..
Cooks visit. The members determined
also to try to use his maps.
BY the middle Of February Lloyd
and his party reached a height Of 49,
600 feet. Tom Dalton, the messenger
whom Lloyd sen back from there, re-
ported that the chief Of the expedition
had found conditions so favorable that
he had decided to press on Immediate
" without returning to Fairbanks, as
his original plans contemplated.
The scheme a laid out was to es.
tablish a string of camps along the
route. Lloyd thought that there was
no advantage in taking the risk Of q
hot dash for the summit. He had a
camp at Moose creek, called Spruce
cabin; another about ten miles from
the base camp, another at the 5000
foot level and a fourth 10000 feet uI
the mountain.
Dalton said that Lloyd had reported
to him that the crust vas SO firm, sc
vastly better than he expected wher
he started out. that he would press or
forthwith. The party was already en-
gagged in packing its provisions and
camp dufel from the 5000 foot level t.
the camp higher up.
Lloyd said that he expected to reacl
what DR.. Cook christened 1.-THE top OF
the continent" by March 20.
No trace of DR.. Cooks ascent coulC
be found Oh either peak. and no rec
ords were discovered.
Mount Mckinley terminates in twiI
peaks Of equal height. one somewha

other composed of bare and windswep

No American team will be sent to
Australia this year to play the holders
OF the Davis cup for the famous inter
national lawn tennis trophy. This an.
nouncement was made in New York
the other day by r. D. Wrenn, vice
president Of the American Lawn Ten
mis- association, who said that the de-
cision had just been reached, owing
to the inability OF T. c. Bundy. the
California tennis star, to make the
trip to the Antipodes.
It had been planned to have Bundy
and M. e. Mclaughlin, another bril-
liant player and also a Californian,
represent America in the contest with
the Australians for the Davis cup In
case America won the preliminaries
with the English challenging team
which were to be played here. Bundy,
however, telegraphed that he had
found that his business engagements
would not admit OF his taking the trip
to Australia.
There being no possibility OF an
American team entering the lists to
play the Australians, the proposed pre-
iiminary matches with an English
team, which were to be played here to
decide whether England or America
should send the challenging team, also
we're necessarily abandoned.

officials have been notified.
