Wireless to The New York Times, According to explorers who have traveled the Canadian Arctic, it is a land of rich promise. It may be, but aiter living for weeks in an igloo, a scant 100 miles from the Arctic Circle, I have formed the opinion that it is also an inhospitable and forlorn land, & land of blizzards, with drifting snow as impenetrable as a London fog, and of cold so intense that it blisters like boiling water. For us, too. it has been a land of tragedy. In the past year there has been a «determined effort to crack open the North and to discover those rich minâ€" eral deposits, atories of which have been current since the days of Fronâ€" tenac. But the business of discovery is proving dificult.

The interest taken in the United States in connection with the opening of our gredt Northland is exemplified in the following article appearing in the New York Times.

With dificulty we located their tent pitched on the shores of a large lake, and succeeded in landing near it. The tent was drifted high with snow; there were no signs of life, no sound except the whistle of the wind through the struts of the plane. I crawled along an iceâ€" covered pontoon, waded ashore, pushâ€" ed aside the frozen flap of the tent and crawled inside, There was a note nailed to a box: "Walking back; grub giving out."

Snow fell heayâ€" ily and was accompanied by biting wincs from the northwest. It became imperative that the men should be brought in with all speed, and since the wreck of the schooner prevented us from building a headquarters, they should be taken out to civilization without delay, Search for Lost Goid Hunters A wind started from the northwest and blew steadily for a week, someâ€"| times with a velocity of eighty miles an hour. It was accompanied by snow flurries and driving mist which made any attempt at fying suicidal, During the week the small lakes froze over and we were faced with the knowledge that unless we could get ‘the men in before the larger lakes froze it would be montits before help cov~ld be sent to them, as our planes could not be fitted with skis. The prospectors were scattered hundreds of miles apart across the barrens with food and fuel sufficient for only a few weeks at bestâ€"and the mercury was already flirting with zero. It seemed that the vessel had been proceeding slowly through the chanâ€" nel when it touched a shoal. In an effort to clear it the captain ordered full speed abead and the ship piled up onto the rock. Too late, soundâ€" ings were taken.
