\Vt s'v oi Lincoln t'~at he saw

vri interesting when we can pick

sition is tbat most men see things
"*it!i other men's ores. And that
is the pity of the whole business of
the wQrld. Most men do not see
tL'i js wi:h their own eyes. If they
dk' they would not be so inconspic
uous as they consent to be. What
mcst persons do is to live up to
formula and opinions and believe
tbeiia, and never give themselves the
trpuL-'e »o ask whethcT they are

Id. Nunau, who is lu charge of the
Igrouuu lu which Capt. Sid Barring

we trust have machinery in order

Some recent arrivals from the
distr>'«t report quits a number of

will be quite a little prospecting

claims be worked by the old

I THE NORTHEAST PASSAGE.
| Only Two Expeditions Succeeded In
Getting Through It.
Most attempts of European countries
to find a comparatively short passage
[ from the Atlantic to oriental countries
| were by way of the northwest passage,
I north of America, because, having first
j tried the northeast passage, north of
1 Europe and Asia, and In every instauce
| having met with dire failure, they con
[ entrated attention upon the northwest
| passage as probably more feasible.
| Practically all the arctic expeditions
from Sir John Ross to Sir John Frank
I lln were fitted out most of all to find
the northwest passage. The passage
was found during the search for the
lost party of Sir Johu Franklin, but
It was never traversed by a ship til!
I Amundsen took his little boat, the
ftjoa. through it in August, 1905.
The attempts to make the northeast
passage began with the hardy Dutch
sallur Barents in 1503, whose party
was the first to spend the dark winter
night In the arctic "In most greate
cold and extreme miserie." The only
achievement of the northeast passage
prior to Vilkltskl's success In 1914-15
was by Baron A. E. Nordensjoltl. wha
sailed from Tromsoe with his Swedish
| expedition In June, 1878, triumphe.1
j over the great obstacle of Cape Chel
yuskin and was within 120 miles of
Bering strait when winter closed upon
him. He entered Bering strait in July,
1S79, thirteen months from the time he
sailed.—Cyrus C. Adams in New York
Times.
