EXPLORERS AND SCIENTISTS
Present at Banquet of Arctic Club In
Honor of Dr. Cook.
Cheered by a crowd of a thous
and men and women as ho enter
ed the bnnquet hall on the arm of
Iluir Admiral Schley (retired). Dr.
Frederick A. Cook told his story Thurs
day before tht most brilliant audi
ence he has. addressed since he left
Denmark. The banquet was given by
the Arctic club of America, of which
Dr. Cook Is a member, in recognition
ot his Inst polar venture. While there
was no official representative from
either stnte or nation the assemblage
was cosmopolitan and enthusiastic.
Among those at the tables were ex
ploiers, some of whom knew the dan
gers and sufferings of the Arctic zone
almost as well as Dr. Cook himself.
HI en of science also were there, but
the explorer addressed himself prim
arily to the great majority of hla hear
ers whose interest In polar conquest
hns but lately been aroused.
The address was not technical. He
Dxpressed thanks for the honor ac
corded htm, reviewed the history of
man's endeavor to attain the pole,
paid tribute to the loyalty of John R.
nrndley, the man whose money en
abled Mm to undertake the expedition,
answered briefly a few charges that
have been made against him and re
iterated thnt he unfurled the flag at
the pole on April 21, 190S. Command
er Peary's nonie he did not mention
except at end of his speech when he
artid:
"There Is glory enough for all."
then It was that Peary's name min
gled with those ot other explorers to
whom he referred with reverence.
Dr. Cook appealed to his hearers to
accept his narrative of his journey to
the pole ta he has seen tit to give It
so far.
"It is ns complete as the prelimin
ary reports of any previous explorer,"
he said. "Heretofore such evidence
haR been tnken with faith and the
complete record was not expected to
appear for yparB."

Kvery important nation Is represent
ed. After a week in New York waters,
the llaatlng part of the exhibition will
move up the river, where the cities
whose settlement nnd growth followed
Hudson's discovery and Fulton's In
vention will spend the next week in
performing their part of the celebra
tion. At 10 o'clock Saturday morning the
Half Moon and the Clermont accur
ate reproductions of the little Dutch
shallop in which an English master
and a mixed crew first ascended the
Hudson river from Manhattan Island
to Albany, and of the ungainly mon
ster, belching Binoke and hissing va
nor. In which Robert Fulton, an Amor-
can Inventor, made the same distance
for the first time propelled by steam,
moved from their quiet anchorages in
the lee ot Staten Island to salute the
vast bulk of the assembled American
and foreign ships of war in the lower
hnrbor.
The Clermont moved under her own
steam. Her clumsy engines rattled
and groaned In her open hull; her tin
protected paddle-wheels spattered
foam on her decks, and she pushed
slowly through Ihe water at a speed
of n little better than four nines an
hour.
The bell tho original Clermont car
ried on her first trip hangs now In tho
nilot house ot a great side-wheeler
that daily makes in less than twelve
hours the same distance that Robert
Fulton, for whom she has been fit
tingly named, took from Monday morn
ing until Wednesday night to cover.

DOWN A COPPER
President Taft Dropped 1,20(
Feet Through Darkness.
It Was the President's First Visit tc
the Montana Copper Region and Be
tween the Smelters at Anaconda anc
the Mines at Butte He Had 8om
Interesting Experiences Presldeni
Was Accompanied by Two Cabinet
Officers In Trip Below Ground.
Ileltma, Mont., Sept. 28. Attired in
a linen duster, an old black slouch
hat, and swinging an electric lantern
at his side, President Taft was locked
in a narrow iron cage and dropped
1,200 feet through darkness Into the
depths of the famous old Leonard cop
per mine at Butte. He had the rare
experience of seeing the miners at
work with a giant drill in a vein ot
high grade ore that sparkled green
with its wealth of mineral.
After half an hour underground, the
president was brought to the Btirface,
blinking in the glare of the noonday
sun. He wos cheered to the echo by
the crowd of curious people gathered
at the hoist. He declared enthusias
tically: "I would not have missed It for the
world."
Thrilling Auto Ride Over Mountains.
It was the president's flrst visit to
the Montana copper region and be
tween the smelters at Anaconda and
the mines nt Dutte he had a series of
interesting experiences. Not the least
of these was a thrilling automobile
ride over the mountains from Ilutte
to the mouth of the Leonard mine.
The grades were steep and winding,
but tha chauffeurs were experienced
men, und. while there was apparently
no threat of danger at any stage of th
trip, there was a sigh of relief when
Mr. Taft had once more been placed
safely aboard the Mayflower for the
run to Helena.
Arriving at Helena he went directly
to the state fair grounds, where after
viewing a portion of the exhibits he
made an open-air address and wit
nessed a race of cowboys. Returning
to the city Mr. Taft reviewed a parade
of school children.
Leaving Helena In the evening, he
headed direct for Spokane, where he
expects to deliver his formal speech
on the conservation of the natural re
sources and the reclamation of arid
lands.
The president made a flying trip
through the Wnshoe smelter of the
Amalgamated Copper company nt An
aconda, then proceeded Into the city
und lifter a brief address took the
train for Ilutte. The crowds which
greeted him on the streets there were
the largest he had seen since leaving
Chicago. The police had their hands
full In opening a way for the automo
bile procession and after the presi
dent's car had passed the crowd
swarmed In Its wake. Speaking at
the court house the president looked
out upon a mass of humanity that
blocked the souare and spread far
down the converging streets. He
ninde a decided hit with the great
throng when he told of the wonderful
impression the country was making
upon him, nnd ending by saying:
"I am like the old Dutchman who
snld 'The more you live the more you
find, by golly, out.'"
When the president disappeared
down the shaft of the Leonnrd mine
with a hearty good bye shouted to tho
waving group nt the entrance ho enr
rled with him Into the depths of the
earth two of his cnblnet officers and
won the presidential record for the
ftirtherest underground.
President Roosevelt entered some of
the Ilutte mines during his term but
did not get down to 1.200 fwt level.
Postmaster General Hitchcock, who
joined tho president, at Annconda. and
Secretary Ralllnger accompanied the
president in the picturesque trip down
the dark chute and through the cross
cuts and drifts of the deep level.
Drop of 800 Feet to First Level.
Tho elevator used by the president
and his party consisted of a small
steel doored square cage in three
decks. The president got Into the
topmost one, accompanied by John
Hays Hammond nnd others, There
was a sheer drop of 800 feet to the flrst
level.
After this the levels came at Inter
vals of 100 feet. Pespito tho assurance
of tho mine olllcers that they made
from 20 to 30 trips a day down the
shaft, nt a speed which releghted the
president's drop to a snnil's ri"" 'n
comparison, the descent through the
first .100 feet of Inky darkness was
nerve-shaking to tho nervous ones In
the party.
Tho descent occupied two nnd one
half minutes and during tho journey
there was nothing hut blackness and
silence.
At tho 1,200 fort level, the two low
er cages dropped by the opening tc
allow the president to step out first
It was stl'.l Inky dark nnd gruesonit'
to those below when at last there
came the cheery voice of the president
from the level, calling to some of the
newspaper men who were accompany
ing him ou the trip.
"How are you fellows down there?'
he Inquired.
There were still tiOO feet of blin k
ness below tiio cage and "We'd
klmlo' like to get out." wns the reply.
"Well. 1 don't know so much about
that," called the president. "I think I
got you sufo where 1 want yon at
last."
