a chart prepared by Hugh c. Mitchell and
c. r. Duvall. Of the United states Coast

servations. This chart shows that Peary
went to the left on nearing the pole, due
TO an error in his instruments. Later he

BIG STEAMERS COLLIDE OFF
COAST OF WASHINGTON

SEATTLE, Oct 30.-During a
dense fog at midnight Saturday the
steamship 1doquois, outbound from
Seattle with passengers for Vic
toria, struck the freight steamer
Multnomah from Tacoma for Seattle
and cut her in two. The Multnomah
was sunk in very deep water. All
the passengers on board were saved
Fifteen head of cattle went down
with the Multnomah. The Iroquois
proceeded, apparently unchanged.
The Iroquois, fine steel ship of
1869 tons, left the Canadian Paci-
fic pier at 1880 o'clock. The
Multnomah a 26year-old wooden
stern wheel steamer, was coming up
to her pier The fog was so thick
that a light could have been seen
only a few feet and there was a
bewildering tumult of fog whistles.
Beth boats were proceedings with
caution when the Iroquois sliced the
fragile Multnomah almost clear
through. The lroquois engines We're
stopped at once and the crew of the
wooden vessel were taken on the
lroquois. which put back to the
pier and landed the men.

CONSOLIDATED
SUIT COMES UP
JUDGE SOMERS AGREES TO
HEAR TAX CASE IN NEAR
FUTURE.

GOLDFIELD, New, Oct, 30.-Of-
fetal notice of the suit of the Con-
solidated Mines company against
the county of Esmeralda concern
ing the legality of the assessment
of $500 per claim on patented min
ing ground on which 500 worth
of assessment work was done dur
ing the year, was take by Judge
Somers Saturday.
Attorney Henry NJ. Hoyt of the
Consolidated and District Attorney
Walsh for the people, unitel in a
request for immediate hearing of
the case. This was promised by
Judge Somers.
The cause for quick hearing of
the ease lies in the fact that it has
been arranged to perfect an appeal
to the state supreme court imme-
diately on the assurance that the
matter will be given preference over
all other litigation, and a ruling
handed down before the 1911 taxes
become delinquent. The matter viii
doubtless be argued during the com,
ing week.
