AMUNDSEN
TELLSABDUT
TRIP NORTH
CHICAGO, Dec .28.—Captain Raold
' Amundsen, discoverer of the South
i Pole and the first to sail through the
ice-blocked labyrinth of the Northwest
Passage, while in Chicago a few days
ago told of his plan to crown his ca
reer by an aeroplane flight to the
North Pole.
Captain Amundsen plans to sail
from Norway in June, 1918. He will
■skirt the arctic coasts of Sweden, Rus
biar and Siberia, as far as the delta of
lthe Lena river. At a point northwest
'of the New Siberian islands he will
head into the ice pack. With his ship
frozen fast in the ice he will drift
across the polar basin and come out in
the Atlantic ocean on the east coast
of Greenland.
The ship on which Captain Amund
sen will sail will be launched at Chris
tiania in March. Its keel was laid last
June. It will be of 800 tons, a three
masted schooner equipped with an
auxiliary oil motor of 240 horse power.
It will carry a crew of ten men, two
of whom will be Americans. The rest
will be Norwegians.
“By heading into the ice several
hundred miles east of where Nansen
began his drift,” said Captain Am
undsen, “I believe I will have a strong
er northward current and will be car
ried close to the pole. Nansen went
into the pack too far west. He drift
ed to 85 degrees and then made his
famous dash to 86 degrees, 14 min
utes, which was the highest north
then. He floated clear of the ice in
the north Atlantic between Spitzberg
en and Greenland. By starting my
drift farther east and at about 72 de
grees north latitude I believe I will
reach 88 degrees at least and possibly
89. If I achieve the former latitude I
will be within 120 miles of the pole.
“I expect to reach 88 degrees after
a drift of a year and a half or two
years. In that time I will have drift
ed half across the polar pack, which
is 1,800 or 2,000 miles wide. Then I
will set sail in an aeroplane for the
pole. I should make my air voyage
from the ship to the pole in an hour
or so.
“I expect my drifting voyage across
the polar basin to occupy three years
in all. I will take along a thorough
scientific equipment. I expect to
bright back much valuable data re
garding prevailing winds, air currents,
sea currents sea temperatures, salini
ty of arctic waters and so on. I will
make frequent aeroplane flights. Ris
ing to a height of ?,000 or 3,000 feet,
1 shall be able to survey the region
within a radius of 100 miles or more.”
“Do you expect to find memorials of
the Peary expedition at the pole?”
Captain Amundsen was asked.
“No,” he said. “Peary’s records
were cached on ice, and they have
drifted far away since Peary stood at
the top of the world on April 6, 1909.”

A Gripping Story With a Moral a Les

“Fine Feathers,” a photoplay re

the offering at the Empress theatre
this Tuesday and Wednesday January
16 and 17.
Janet Beecher is the central figure
of this film play. She plays the part
of a young woman who is discontented
with her lot in life; yearns for fine
feathers; obtains them by dishonora
ble means, has a brief career of glit
ter and glory; and then suffers retri
bution in company with her weakling
of a husband who connived at her so
cial exaltation and suffered with her
in her fall.
It is a remarkable story with a
moral, and Miss Beecher’s lovely
personality and stage artistry adds
largely to the many interesting situ
ations in the play. Besides being an
accomplished actress, Miss Beecher is
a painter of merit and proficient in
many outdoor sports.

(Juneau Dispatch)
Mariners on the southwestern Alas
ka run are emphatic in their assertion
that a larger light and one with a
longer flash is neded at Cape Spencer,
the entrance to Icy straits.
“The light on Cape Spencer is one
of the small blinker lights used by the
lighthouse service, and is automatic in
its action,” said a captain of one of
the steamers running to southwestern
Alaska. “It blinks for five seconds
and is then dark for 15 seconds. On
dary nights it is hard to pick it up ex
actly. You are standing on the bridge
looking for it. It flashes and by the
time your glasses are turned on it is
out. With a boat swinging in a heavy
sea it is impossible to keep the light
located and the next time it blinks it
may be away off to the other side, and
in real thick weather the flashes may
not be seen at all on account of snow
or rain squalls obscuring the light just
at the time it flashes.
“You can say for me that the light
is better than nothing, and it is en
tirely inadequate for the prominent
position it occupies in the navigation
of those waters. In the Canadian wa
ters the lights are never out. They
flash and then die down, but there is
always enough light burning to see,
and they can be located without trou
ble. The Canadian lights generate
their gas as they use it, but those
kind of lights are impractical for the
Alaskan waters, as the water in the
works or the buoy would freeze.
“I maintain that a permanent light
station should be established on the
cape, and that it is just as important
as the light on Cape St. Elias. Speak
ing of the latter light, it is a good
light, but it was spoiled by the loca
tion of it. Cape St. Elias is almost a
straight mountain 1500 feet in height,
with a pinnacle rock off the outer end
and several hundred feet in height.
“The light was located at the base
of the high mountain 8C feet above
the water which, counting the height
of the ship above water, gives it a
range of 15 miles in clear weather.
In murky weather its light is not vis
ible until within a few miles of it. At
the same time the pinnacle rock on
the outer end of the cape obscures the
light for a distance of many miles
while passing the cape. The light can
be seen from either side of the cape,
but while passing the cape it is ob
scured entirely.
“I njaintain that the light would
have been far more effective if the
government had cut a sheaf in the
side of the mountain several hundred
feet above the water level and instal
led the light, or blasted off the top of
the pinnacle rock and placed it on top
of it. However, that light is in and
there is no use crying over spilled
milk, but the light on Cape Spencer
is a crying need and one that should
be remedied as soon as possible.”

THE DARCY MILL
(Patent Applied For)
The Darcy Mill is designed to meet the need of the mine owner and
prospector who wants to develop his own mine or open up ore bodies with
a view of disposing of the property, to work rich stringers of pav ore
to mill and ship concentrates or to try out a property before purchasing
—at as low a cost as possible.
It Is not a toy mill or a makeshift in any way but a mill constructed
on scientific principles and equal in efficiency as any stamp of the same
weight. The 2000 pound mill has two stamps of pounds each and drop
at 110 blows per minute for each stamp. The number of blows and the
force of the drop can be Increased very easily bv placing springs on the
stamp stems or the weight of the blow be increased with additional
weights, which we furnish when necessary.
It occupies a space 4x4 feet; no piece weighs over 100 pounds, and is
easy to move, pack, or set up, and uses less power and less repairs than
any other. The frame, battery blocks, etc., are made of Washington fir
strongly bolted with rods to stand all strains: guides have large wearing
surfaces; in fact the mill is so constructed that any one can handle it
satisfactorily. Shoes and dies are of special hard iron with chilled faces,
screens easily removed—the whole front and back can be removed so as
to get at the shoes and dies. Tappets arranged to clamp on a screw
thread so that the wear can be easily taken up. No expensive machine
work to pay for in repairs, in fact everything about the mill is simple,
compact and durable.
It is the simplest mill to start your mine with, as it is an easy mat
ter to add two or four more stamps or to increase the output by adding
the extra weights without any alterations in the mill.
We can furnish the complete mill or just the iron work, or lease them
to responsible parties if they show us their properties are O K We "an
furnish engines, concentrators, copper plates, rock crushers, jigs, tables,
etc., at market prices.
A vast amount of ore could be put on the market by using one small
mill for coarse crushing and jig the pulp, which will save the coarse
metals and get rid of the lightest, and the middlings recrushed in another
small mill and this pulp run over concentrators or tables. This plan will
enable a lot of low grade ores to be worked at a profit which it is impos
sible to do in any other way.
Write us if you have such properties or if you wish further particulars.
Yours truly,
H. J. DARCY, West Tacoma

IT’S A REAL PLEASURE
to view the new wall decorations on ('
view here exclusively. They are so
unconventional, so out of the common
and so unusually artistically attrac
tive. If you plan to repaper you
should by all means see these new
papers. To decide without doing so
! is apt to result in regret later.
