GREELY BELIEVES
LAND BE FOUND
IN FAR NORTH
WASHINGTON, D. C., June 12 (/p).
With powerful engines driving United
States navy planes through the air,
instead of dogs drawing sledges over
rough ice, there is every likelihood of
the MacMillan Arctic Expedition un
der the auspices of the National Ge
ographic Society, reaching the hypo
thetical land north of Alaska, said
Major General A. W. Greely, dean of
living polar explorers, who comment
ed today on the latest effort to un
cover the secrets of the Far North.
The MacMillan expedition will have
two ships with the latest scientific
equipment, including air planes and
radio apparatus, enabling it keep in
touch with its supply base at all
times. Plans are completed and the
expedition will sail for Etah, on the
north coast of Greenland, within the
next few days.
General Greely commanded an ex
pedition sent to the Arctic by the U.
S. government in 1881-84, and almost
died of hunger at Cape Sabine, Elles
mere Island, after relief ships failed
to reach him for two consecutive sea
sons.
Last summer Commander MacMil
lan placed a National Geographical
Society bronze tablet on Cape Sabine
in memory of the secrifice Greely’s
men made in behalf of exploration.
The planes of the MacMillan expedi
tion will fly repeatedly over Cape
Sabine the coming summer.
Confident Land Is There.
“I am confident there is land of
some sort west of Axel Heiberg Island
and north of Alaska,” said General
Greely. “I advanced that theory forty
years ago, after I had observed pecu
liar flat-topped icebergs with well
marked stratfications floating out of
j the Polar Sea. Such bergs come from
I relatively smooth land where the an
j nual layers of snow are not broken
up, and are well known in the Antarc
tic. No such icebergs originate in
Greenland or in the known lands to
the east for the ice there reaches the
sea through fiords and valleys and
because of squeezing the stratifica
tions are obliterated.
“While I suggested the existence of
I land north of Alaska from my obser
! vation of icebergs, other students on
| the subject advanced the same opin
j ion based on the study of tidal fluctu
I ations. For more than a generation
i explorers have hoped to reach this
supposed land; but apparently the
task is too great for the dogs and
sledges previously used. MacMillan
went 130 miles toward the objective
; a few years ago. but had to turn back
I on account of almost impassible ice.
with the journey just started. But
with airplanes it will be different. A
600 mile flight would take one to the
center of the unknown region and re
turn should not be a difficult under
taking. I believe the trip will be made
without difficulty and that when this
region is visited a heretofore unmap
ped land will have been discovered.
Contrast Modern Methods
Modern exploration methods furn
ish a striking contrast to those of a
generation or so ago, General Greely
said. Recalling that the planes of
this expedition this summer will fly
over Cape Sabine where 18 of the 25
men of his party died of hunger, and
where he and the survivors almost
shared the same fate. General Greely
pointed out that with radio communi
cation he could have informed the
people of the United States of the
plight of the party before it became
so desperate so that redoubled efforts
might have been made to break thru
the ice pack with supplies.
With a modern airplane available
a messenger might have been sent
to some settlement on the west coast
of Greenland in two or three hours, or
might have reached Newfoundland in
less than a day. Emergency supplies
could have been sent back by plane,
even though ice prevented the pas
sage of a relief ship.

Neada Ruins Show High
Culture of Aborigines
'ST. THOMAS, Nev., June 12.—(JP)
—Dr. M. R. Harrington, archaeolo
gist in charge of research work in
“the buried city of Nevada,” says
the theory that the place was built
by ancestors of Pueblo Indians in
New Mexico and Arizona is being
substantiated Increasingly as the
work of excavation goes on.
The city, which has been named
Pueblo Grande de Nevada, consists
of a series of ruins of ancient habi
tation's scattered over an area of five
or six miles in length and a mile
in width along the north bank of
Muddy river, in the Moapa valley.
“The conviction grows,” explaned
Dr. Harrington, “that. Pueblo culture
had its birth—the culture of the
people who, at a later date, built
hundreds of towns which we find in
ruins in New Mexico and Arizona.
“It was probably in the Moapa
valley that the ancestors of modern
Pueblo tribes learned to build per
manent dwellings, to weave fine
cloth, make good pottery, practice
agriculture—in brief, to develop the
art3 which later made them one of
the highly civilized people north of
Mexico.
“The inhabitants of Pueblo Grande
de Nevada were rather shorter than
modern Americans. The tallest skele
ton thus far found was of a person
who could not have been more than
five feet eight inches high. The
average was between five feet and
five feet six inches.
“The greatest age ascribed to the
ruins is 2,000 years.”
