Omitted Press Dav service)

New York, June 20.-The last in-
stallment of an unprecedentedly
large consignment of $43,000,000 in
gold was placed in the sub-treasury
here today. The bankers have been
notified that $5,000,O00 will be avail
able for daily use, beginning Monday.
The action was taken to offset the
heaviest gold movement from the
United States to Europe in recent
years. Since January l it is esti-
mated that $75,000,000 have been ex-
ported in gold bars. The movement
is due to economic reasons. Money
is cheap here and comparatively dear
abroad. 1t is predicted that there
will be a lowering of the foreign
exchange rate and return flow. The
Denver sub-treasury recently sent a
record shipment here of $25,000,000
in gold.

The fire seemed to be spreading
and there is no possibility of resum-

the only way to stop the fire is to
seal the mine. The last hope is aban-

little roint on the worlds map marked
90 degrees north latitude. Professor
Andree hoped to take advantage Of
favorable r-currents and to drift
in his balloon across the pole. He
had several buoys which he planned
to drop overheard, one of which was
to mark the pole itself. Starting from
Dane Island, north of Spitzbergen in
July, 1897, he and his companions
fioated away into the north with fair
winds and clear skies. Two years lat
er buoy, thrown out eight hours
after his departure, was found in Nor
way. In the same year the "North
Pole Buoy" was picked up on an is
land northeast of Spitzbergen. A third
buoy was found on the coast of Ice
land. One message from Andree was
brought back by carrier-pigeon. It
contained statement from Andree
that the balloon had attained 82 de-
grees north latitude and was drifting
eastward.
Tince then no word has come.
Whether the "North Pole Buoy had
drifted down from some point truly
approximating 80 degrees north lati-
tude, where it had been let fall, or
whether it was merely a bit of jet
sam from the final wreck of the bal
loon, cannot be told; and now-it does
not matter, for the pole has been
reached by land already. AS anoth-
er writer, in the Philadelphia Press.

Since that July in 1897 when he
cut loose from his moorings on Dane
Island, all that he hoped to accomplish,
and much more has been accomplish
ed Both poles have been discovered.
"The unconquered air." in which he
put vain trust, has been studied and

place is marked by cairn on the ant
