been situated at the site of the pres
ent discoveries, In returning from
the mountains, it is said, Hawthorne
lost his bearings, and although to the
end of his life he attempted annually
TO find the quicksilver mine" he re-
M.aned unsuccessful. This tradition
seems highly improbable. The origi-
nal discoverer-who he was is un-
known-had done some very substan-
tai exploratory work on the prospect.
In his efforts to prove his find he had
blasted out a considerable mass of
solid limestone, and as further tokens
of his activity sticks of powder, fuse,
and picks lay abandoned at the pros
pect. That this energetic prospector
lost his way and was unable to find
the prospect at which he labored is
not easily credible II is more likely
that he abandoned the prospect as, in
his judgment, not sufficiently valu-
able. The newcomers have found
considerably richer deposits than the
unknown pioneer did, and have shown
that the cinnabar extends along a
considerable belt.
The quicksilver deposits on the
claims of Pepper and Keough as well
as those in the rest of the district are
described in Bulletin 620-D, Some

ALETTERs TO THE EDITOR"
English Newspaper criticizes the Habit of Writing on Every Con-
 ceivabIe Subject

The habit of writing letters to the newspapers on every conceivable sub ject is one peculiar to England, says the Bystander
 Whether it is because this war be- gan in August or whether it is that long practice in silly season" topics has entirely divorced the public sense from public correspondence, it is inn possible to say. But the fact remains that this war has been responsible for some of the most absurd letters ever seen in any public print. The dan gerous lunatic who was first respon- sible for the suggestion that young women should patrol the streets and give white feathers to young men not in uniform is a typical instance And there are plenty more. Hysterical colonels, mercifully retired; timid ec- elesiastics, bulging with sentiment; above all, thousands of women, who, having been useless all their lives, ex- pect to know how to make themselves (and even other people) useful at moments notice-all these have rushed into print during the last few weeks to the despair of the wise and the fury of the irritable.
 A curious, not to say consoling com mentary on this outpouring of non sense is that it hardly ever deals with our best and most vital organiza- tions. You will not find fool corre- spondence about the navy at all popu- lar. It is reserved for the things to our best attention, as, for instance, how to raise in the shortest possible time an army of million men.

The Comet and the War.

Winneck's comet is now telescopic object in the sky, known to astron- omers but unknown to the citizen who depends upon his unaided eye. New ertheless, the London Chronicle takes occasion to comment upon the fact that the people are not laying the war to the comet, as was customary in ancient times. But there were giants in those days in the comet line, and it takes giant comet to get people excited. We have from one to half a dozen comets every year, so the as- tronomers tell us, but we do not see them. The ancients had as many, but in those days not even the astronom- CTS saw them. No wonder our people do not ascribe the war to comet they do not see and of whose exist ence they only learn from line or two in the papers. Bring on a comet as is a comet and then see what we think about it.

one has seen Stefansson or the two men he kept with him since then. His vessel, the Karluk, drifted several hun dred miles to the westward and was crushed in the ice. Part of those aboard the Karluk were rescued through the perseverance of McCon- nell
 Then Mcconnell came back to the States and started his efforts to or ganize relief expedition. It was he who evolved from his brain the idea of hydro-aereplane. Many of his plans were talked over in the Eight Oars, E. W. Deming's studio in artistic Mac dougal alley.
 The Canadian government is chided by Mcconnell for failing to fit out relief expedition, as Stefansson is upon Canadian service. But the great war has intervened and monopolizes Cana da's energies.
 T consider it my duty to search for Stefansson," Mcconnell said "As a survivor of the expedition, shall not be content to sit idly and in comfort in civilization until I know that my com rades are safe, or what has happened to them"
 Opinions differ as to what has hap pened to Stefansson. He may be drift ing on field of ice somewhere north of Alaska. In this event he would reach Siberia, if still alive, about two years from now.
 Mcconnell thus outlined his plans recently:
 Our expedition is not more hope less than that of the Rodgers, which started out to rescue the crew of the Jeanette in 1879, two years after she had sailed.
 "As to the practicability of using hydro-aeroplanes, it is we'll known that Amundsen intended taking flying ma chimes with hin into the Arctic and using them for scouting while his ice ship, the Tram, drifted about in the ice pack. In using hydro-aeroplanes, too, we may discover the hypothetical con- tinent of Crocker Land which Stefans- son sought.

MAY "cUT oUTv LUNCHEON
Londoners Discuss Idea of Giving Up Meal That Can Be Dis
 pensed With.

Hearing that Berlin Is giving up i've siye and English meal, Londoner suggests that if there is talk of re- prisals luncheon should be dropped, for the habit was introduced from Germany by the prince consort.
 Is this true? In the first half of the nineteenth century Holland house was regarded, as Mr Russell put it, as the very ark and sanctuary of re- fined luxury" but at the breakfast parties only tea, coffee. eggs, rolls and butter were served. Luncheon or "puncheon, was mere mouthful in those days, Philip Hale observes in the Boston Herald. Men went out shooting with a sandwich in their pocket; the ladies who sat at home had some cold chicken and wine and water brought into the dining room on tray" In Miss Austens novels the midday meal is not fully described; she speaks of "cold meat" but Doctor Kitchener wrote in 1925; Your lunch con may consist of bit of roasted poultry, basin of beef tea, or eggs poached, or boiled in the shell; fish plainly dressed, or a sandwich; stale bread; and half a pint of good, home brewed beer, or toast and wa ter, with about one-fourth or one-third part of it's measure of wine" The doctor is the man that after a solid dinner at seven o'clock, prescribed a supper of .sgruel, or a little bread and cheese, or pounded cheese and a glass of beer"
 Of course the word luncheon is old. It originally meant piece, thick piece, a hunk And so we read of seventeenth century person "eating a great lump of bread and butter with luncheon of cheese We find this use in one of Scott's novels: Little Benjie was cramming a huge lunch con of pie crust into his mouth" The word as we now use it was at first applied only to Slight" repast be- tween two of the ordinary meal times, especially between breakfast and mid day dinner. The German slice of but tered bread with glass of beer taken at 10:30 or Il a. m.-we speak of household life in the Berlin and Ores den of the last eighties-was lunch con in this earlier English sense.

New Ideas in Gastronomy.

The gastronomic. experts and col laborators of the Garnet d'Epicure (Epicures' Notebook state that cer- tain makes of English cider may safe ly replace for cooking purposes the so- called German and other wines sold as svinus du Rhin, graves, sauternes, chablis, isedoc.' Such wines are largely used for cooking purposes with fish, entrees and the like. These ex- perts do not admit that all pure makes of English cider contain all the quail ties necessary for the production of high-class dishes. They are prosecut- ing their researches and have already been rewarded by many important dis coyeries in the art Of cookins.

more than a million square miles. Truly this is the last frontier, the last unexplored area on the face of the globe. The prime object of the Cana dian Arctic expedition was to explore that area as much as possible. but when the KarIuk was lost Stefansson was compelled to rearrange his plans accordingly. He immediately decided to go over the treacherous, moving. crushing ice fields north of Alaska in search of the continent which some students of tidal phenomena have ar gued exists-and which others have argued as conclusively does not ex- ist
 Admiral Peary and the president of the Aero club both declare the plan feasible. My plans are simple. We would leave the ship, which would be near the shore, every favorable morn ing, flying about 800 feet high, and go in straight line to point 175 miles from shore, scanning the ice fields with powerful glasses. Then we would turn at right angles for 20 miles, turn again and fly to shore parallel to the outgoing course.
 'The ship, in the meanwhile, would have sailed to a point 20 miles east along the coast, where she would well come us back.
 "I would bring together the crew and outfit at Victoria, B. C., as Stefans- son did. We should sail from home not later than June 1, 1915. The hydro aeroplanes would have to be thorough ly tried out before starting and then could be set up either at Nome or Port Clarence and tried again. The date of sailing from Port Clarence, which has the best harbor on the northwest coast of Alaska, will depend on the state of the arctic ice pack, which generally comes down to Boring strait late in July or early in August.
 "The hydo-aeroplanes would be of the most reliable type, with carrying capacity of two men and 100 pounds. Their tanks should hold enough fuel for a 400-mile trip, and their pontoons should be re-enforced and equipped
  at will on ice or water. Both ma chimes should be of identical build, so that parts may be interchanged in the event of an accident to one of the planes"
 MT. Mcconnell believes Stefansson has found the mysterious land he went out to look for and is now unable to return to his base on the north coast of Alaska.
 Mcconnell was one of the three members of this expedition who gained the mainland of Alaska after drifting about on the ice for nearly month. He thinks Stefansson is able r to provide for the party of three with the two rifles and 400 pounds of ann intuition they had when last seen.
 When Stefansson bade farewell to Mcconnell and the meteorologist of the expedition he kept with him two companions, Storkersen and Ole An derson.
 It was quite fitting that these three adventurous spirits should be descend ants of the race of Jeff Ericsson, the man who probably discovered Amer ica.
 All three were picked veterans of many arctic campaigns. They knew all the wiles of the Eskimos, be- sides the scientific learning of the white men. Only some terrible mis- fortune could have extinguished them.
