Of the South Wales operators. Despite

this and today furnished the premier
with their estimates which, they
said, proved that the operators were
wrong.
Meanwhile the general conferences

lists is having a subduing effect on rhe
miners officials. They realize the

prepared today for period of gener-
al rejoicing. Captain SCOTS closest
friends are anxiously awaiting word
from the English explorer whose pres
ont position is not yet known.
Why Amundsen should have adj
mitted Scott reached the south pole
and made no sta 3 ent of what he,
himself, accomplished, is a puzzle
here although it Is rumored that the
Norwegian explorer had contracts
which forbade him saying anything
for general publication regarding his
own work in the unexplored southern
territory.
Officials OF the royal geographical
society are especially anxious for
word OF the Scott expedition. They
have feared all along that the Nor
wegian expedition, equipped as it was
with many things Scott did not take
along, might wrest the honors from
the Englishman Amundsen, il was
explained, did not intend wasting any
time in making observations but plan

Dash back again. That he admits
Scott reached the pole is construed
here as meaning that the English
expedition at least got there first.

When the Scott expedition left
England the British commander did
