whatever. As l have travelled along since then and have rcyolyed the mat ter in my mind, I have decided, how ever, to write a few lines for your paper, if you should see fit to publish them, in view of the many months that must elapse ere can receive and ex- anime this book.
 And first I would say that as my party was glad to bring down con frmation of the pioneer or sour dough" ascent of the north peak. dis. corning the flag staff that had escaped the search of Professor Parker and Mir. Belmore Brown, so we would just as readily have announced my con firmation that had discoverd itself to us of Dr. Cooks ascent. I had read Dr. Cooks book when it first appeared had read it again shortly before my ascent of the mountain, and yet again. with special attention to the chapter in which he describes his attainment of the summit, upon my return there from.
 It must not be forgotten that Dr. Cook unquestionably knows more about Denali up to an altitude of 1O,- 900 feet than any other man. He has circumambulated the entire massive Of the two great companion peaks, Den ali and Denali's Wife-the Mount Me Kinley and Mount Foraker of the pres ent maps-and he has attempted the ascent of the former from the south. from the northwest and from the north. All that may be described of the upper regions from an elevation Of about 10000 feet Cat which the real difficulties of the ascent begin) he has thus described from at least three diff ferent points of view. And the des- criptions in his book are clear and definite up to that limit. He may be followed camp by camp, almost step by step. But in the chapter in which the ascent to the summit is narrated is nothing clear or definite at all-the whole chapter is a rhapsody of 'fcy infernos" and ''heaven-kissed granite" and I have forgotten what extrava- gances of turgid rhetoric. The whole chapter is just such a chapter as a man would write who knew the lower levels, but was ignorant of the heights; he could not be more definite without danger, his vagueness leaves

MANY OUTFITS IN
 BROAD PASS COUNTRY

There is a friendly rivalry in the Broad Pass country in an effort to locate a ledge found last fall by Ben Thrasher. Trasher discovered a big lode. took samples, but did not To- locate any claims, He told friends of his find, although did not reveal the exact location. as he intended to locate it himself should the assays show values. The outcrop showed yellQwish stain, caused by arsenic. As is we'll known, the chief values in the Broad Pass ores are in the arsen- ides.
 Thrasher, while enroute to the states, was stricken and died at Val dez, An assay from one of the sam ples. gave a return of BPS in gold per ton. Hence the eagerness to find the lost lode. It is believed to be somewhere on Ohio Creek.
 The following persons, with outfits, are in the Broad Pass country:
 W. E. Dunkle. mining engineer, rep resenting the Guggenheims. and sev- eral men.
 The Wells Brothers and Coffey, orig inal discoverers.

Present Topnochers in American and National Circuits

Only Miracle Can Put Either Team Out of Running
for Worlds Series Event.

Only a miracle now seems between
the Red Sox. and the Phillies and an
October baseball finale. The presen
leaders in the American and Nationa
leagues seem so safely anchored in
first place neither submarines nor
floating mines nor mazes of hidden
dynamite can dislodge either of them.
There still exist a few dangers, but
for the main the course seems straight
and true, with wind and tide in their
favor and the home goal fast becom-

the waning 1915 journey.
To the one club there awaits maiden
honors after almost 40 years of buffet
ing on the baseball seas; to the other
another victorious achievement in the
struggle of the rough and ready men.
The Phillies are lacking on the wind,
sailing full rugged into a friendly har-
Dor, making a port filled with cheering
humanity, crowded from shore to shore
with friends who have lost none of
their enthusiasm, Notwithstanding the
long wait. The Red Sox are making
many happy, it is true, but in the
main they seem only to be Phillies can

There are formidable fighting aggre-
cations desperately chasing these lead
ers home, but the speed of the one
is not enough greater than the other
to make it seem possible that there
will be a blockade at the entrance into
Pennantville. However, neither the
Red Sox nor the Phillies can hope to
save coal or canvas as the chase is
if that do or die sort that thrills to
the spine the onlookers and brightens
the spirit of the contestants.
That the Phillies and the Red SoX
are deserving of the brackets. ready
for claiming none will dispute. Each
team, led by an Irish offspring, has
given battle readily and without
thought of the consequence. Each
has fought furiously and fairly; each
has conquered through mind and mus
Gle, excellence in both; each has as
pired to lofty heights, knowing full
well the spirit of the opponents, and
each has gained a peak of the sum-
init by playing the game as it should
be played by athletes of America.

If, miraculously or otherwise, either
the Braves or the Dodgers should win
this amount of consecutive victories
then it viii be necessary for the Phil

This gives the Phillies Ieeway Of five

insurmountable, even to such known

Since starting its final western
journey of the year the Phillies have
played better baseball than either the
Dodgers or Braves and It is safe to
assume they will continue to do so
The hardest fight for the Phillies
seems to be arranged for them in
the last week of the season, when the
club encounters the Braves and the
Dodgers in order. These contests will
be grudge fights with no quarter CIV

lowers of the sport believe that this
