ON A PROFIT-SHARING BASIS
Manager's Offer Most Generous , Still
It Is Possible That tha Greaser
Rejected It.
A common method of dealing with
greaser 'laborers in the new state of
New Mexico is to have them work on
chares. A somewhat original applica
tion of the system is void on a well-
known manager of one of the 30,000-
acre ranch corporations.
A certain Mexican had been ac
costing the manager several times
and asking for a job.
"Well , come over to my office , " the
boss told him finally , "and maybe I
can fix up something with you. "
"Now , I need a lot of pestholes dug , "
he began.
"What will you give me ? " asked the
Mexican.
"Well , " replied the employer gener
ously , "I will give you half. You can
dig my half on my ranch , and can put
your half wherever you please pick
out soft ground for them if you
want to. " Metropolitan Magazine.

Hobart , Tasmania , March 8. On
the 10th of February , 1911 , we com
menced to work our way toward the
south , from that day to the llth. of
April establishing three depots , which
in all contained a quantity of pro
visions of about 3,000 kilos. One
thousand six hundred kilos , including
1,100 kilos of seal meat , were cached
in 80 degrees , 700 kilos in 81 degrees
and 800 kilos in 82 degrees south
latitude.
As no landmarks were to be seen ,
these depots were marked with flags ,
seven kilometers on each side in the
easterly and westerly directions.
The ground and the state of the
barrier were of the best , and speci
ally well adapted to driving with
dogs. On February 15 , we had thus
traveled about 100 kilometers. The
weight of the sledges was 300 kilos ,
and the number of dogs was six for
each sledge. The surface of the bar
rier was smooth and fine witU no sas-
trugi. The crevices were very local
and were found dangerous in only
two places. For the rest long ,
smooth undulations.
The weather was excellent , calm era
a light breeze. The lowest tempera
ture on these depot trips was minus
45 celsius or centigrade. (49 degrees
below zero , Fahrenheit ) . On the
4th of March , on our return from the
first trip beginning on the 15th of
February , we found out that the
Fram had already left us. With pride
and delight we heard that her smart
captain had succeeded In sailing. her
furthest south and there hoisting the
colors of his country a glorious mo
ment for him and his comrades the
furthest north and the furthest south
good old Fram.
The highest south latitude attained
was 78 degrees 41 minutes.
Winter en the Ice Barrier.
Before the arrival of winter we had
6,000 kilos of seal meat in the depots ,
enough for ourselves and 110 dogs.
Eight dog houses , a combination of
tents and snow huts , were built
Having cared for the dogs the turn
came to use our solid little hut. It
was almost entirely covered with
snow by the middle of ApriL
First we had to get light and air.
The Lux lamp , which had a power of
200 standard candles gave us a bril
liant light and kept the temperature
up to 20 degrees celsius (68 degrees
Fahrenheit ) throughout ; the winter ,
and our excellent ventilation system
gave us all the air we wanted.
In direct communication with the
hut and dug-out on the Barrier were
work shops , packing rooms , cellars
for provisions , coal , wood and oil , a
plain bath , a steam batb and observ
atories. Thus we had everything
within doors if the weather should be
too cold and stormy.
The sun left us on the 22nd of April
and did not return until four months
later.
The winter was spent in changing
our whole outfit , which on the depot
trips was found to be too clumsy and
solid for the smooth surface of the
Barrier. Besides this , as much scien
tific work as possible was done , and
some astonishing meteorological ob
servations were taken.
Open Water All Winter.
There was very little snow , and
there was open water close by
throughout the winter. For the same
reason higher temperature nad been
expected , but it remained very .low.
In five months there were observed
temperatures between minus 50 and
60 degrees celsius (58 ( and 76 degrees
below zero Fahrenheit ) , the lowest
temperature on the 13th of August
being minus 59 degrees celsius. It
was then calm. On the 1st of August
the temperature was zulnuc 58 de
grees celsius , and there were six n > e-
ters of wind. The mean temperature
for the year was minus 26 degrees
celsius (14.8 below zero Fahrenheit )
I had expectefl hurricane after hur
ricane , but I observed only two mod
erate storms and many excellent

The sanitary conditions were of

body ready to set about the task thai
had to be solved.
Already , the day before , we had
brought our sledges to the starting
place for our search toward the south.
Only in the beginning of September
did the temperature rise to such an
extent that there was any question of
setting out then.
The First Start for the Pole.
On the 8th of September , eight men ,
with seven sledges , ninety dogs , and
provisions for four months , started.
The ground was perfect The temper
ature was not bad. The next day It
appeared that we had started too early ,
as the temperature of the following
days fell and kept steadily between
minus 50 and 60 celsus (58 degrees
and 76 degrees below zero Fahren
heit ) . Personally we did not suffer at
all from the cold. Our good furs pro
tected us. But with our dogs it was
a different matter. It could easily be
seen that they shrunk from day to
day , and we understood pretty soon
that they could not stand the long run
to our depot at 80 degrees south.
We agreed on returning and to wait
for the arrival of spring. The pro
visions were cached and off we went
for the hut. With the exception of the
loss of a few dogs and a couple of
frozen heels everything was all right.
Only In the middle of October spring
came In earnest Seals and birds ap
peared. The temperature was steady
between 20 and 30 celsius (68 ( de
grees and 86 degrees Fahrenheit. )
The original plan that all of us
should go toward the south had been
changed. Five mon had to do this
work , while the other three were to
start for the east and visit King Ed
ward VII. Land.
This last mentioned trip was not
Included In our program , but owing to
the fact that the English had not
reached It , at least this summer , as
was their Intention , we agreed that
the best thing to do was also to make
this trip.
On October 20 the southern party
started five men , four sledges , fifty-
two dogs , and provisions for four
months everything in excellent order.
The Journey to the Pole.
From the start It was the Intention
not to drive more than 30 kilometers
a day , but it appeared that this was
too little for our strong , willing ani
mals. At 80 degrees south we began
to build snow cairns of a man's height ,
in order to have marks on our return
trip. +
trip.We
We reached the depot at 82 degrees
on the 5th of November , where the
dogs .for the last time got all they
wanted to eat. On the 6th , southward
again , with a daily march of 50 kilo
meters.
In order to lighten our heavy
sledges we established depots at each
degree of south latitude.
Like a Pleasure Trip.
The trip from 82 to 85 degrees , be
came a pleasure trip excellent
ground , fine sledging , and an even
temperature. Everything went like a
dance.
On the ninth we sighted South Vic
toria land and the continuation of the
mountain range which Sir Ernest
Shackleton mentioned in his chart as
running toward the southeast from
the Beardmore glacier , and on the
same day we reached 83 degrees and
established here depot No. 4. On the
eleventh we made the interesting dis
covery that the Ross Barrier termi
nated in a bight toward the south
east at 86 degrees south latitude and
} 63 degre.es west longitude , formed be
tween the southeast mountain range
running from South Victoria land and
a range on the opposite side running
in a southwesterly direction probably
a continuation of King Edward VII.
land.
On the thirteenth we reached 84 de
grees where we established a depot ;
on the sixteenth we were at S5 de
grees , where , also , we made a depot.
From our winter quarters , "Fram-
heiin , " 78 degrees 38 minutes south
latitude , we had been marching due
south. On the seventeenth of Novem
ber , at 85 degrees , we arrived at a
place where the land and barrier were
connected. This was done without
any great difficulty. The barrier here
rises in undulations to about 300 feet.
Some few big crevices indicated the
limited boundary.
Here we made our head depot , ta
king provisions for sixty days on
sledges and leaving thirty days' provi
sions on the spot.
The next day we began to climb.
The first part of it was an easy task
light stops and well filled mountain
sides. It did not take a long time , ? cr
our willing dogs worked their way up.
Further up , we met with some small
but very steep glaciers. Here we had
to harness 20 dogs to each sledge and
take the four sledges In two turns. In
some places it was so steep that i |
was difficult enough to use our skis.
The next aay Degan the longest part
of our climb. Many detours had to be
made in order to avoid broad cracks
and open crevices.
Glaciers Source of Peril.
These were apparently mostly filled
up , as the glaciers in all probability
had long ago stopped moving , but we
had to be careful , never knowing for
certain how thick was the layer that
covered them.
Our camp that night lay in pic-

5,000 feet The glacier here was nar
rowed in between the two 15,000 feet
high mountains , the Fridtjof Nansen
and the Don Pedro Christophersen.
At the foot of this glacier , the Dev
il's glacier , a depot for six days was
established at 86.21 degrees south lati
tude. The hypsometer Indicated
8,000 feet above sea level.
It took us three days to surmount
the Devil's glacier , always in misty
weather.
On December 8 we came out of the
bad weather. Once again the sun
smiled down on us. Once again we
could get an observation. Dead reck
oning and observation were exactly
alike 88 degrees , 88 minutes , 16.6 seconds
ends south.
Before us lay an absolutely plain
plateau , only here and there marked
with a tiny sastrugl.
Establish Last Depot.
In the afternoon we passed 88 de
grees 23 minutes ( Shackleton's fur
thest south was 88 degrees 25 min
utes ) . We camped and established
our last depot , depot No. 10. From 80
degrees 25 minutes the plateau began
to slope down very gently and smooth
ly toward the other side.
On the 9th of December we reached
88 degrees 39 minutes ; on December
10 , 88 degrees 56 minutes ; December
11 , 89 degrees 15 minutes ; December
12 , 89 degrees 30 minutes ; December
13 , 89 degrees 45 minutes.
Up to this time the observations
and dead reckoning agreed remarka
bly well and we made out that we
ought to be at the pole on December
14 in the afternoon.
That day was a beautiful one a
light breeze from the southwest , the
temperature minus 23 celsius (9.4 de
grees below , zero Fahrenheit ) and the
ground and sledging were perfect
The day went along as usual , and at
three p. m. we made a halt
According to our reckoning we had
reached our destination. All of us

The vast plateau on which the pole
is standing got the name of the "King
Haakon VII. Plateau. " It is a vast

after mile during the night we circled
around the camp.
In the fine weather we spent the fol
lowing day taking a series of obser
vations from six a. m. to seven p. m.
The result gave us 89 degrees 58 min
utes.
In order to observe the pole as close
as possible we traveled , as near south
as possible , the remaining nine kilo
meters.
On December 16 there we camped. It
was an excellent opportunity. There
was a brilliant sun. Four of us took
observations every hour of the day's
twenty-four hours. The exact result
will be the matter of a professional
private report.
This much Is certain that we ob
served the pole as close as it Is In
human power to do it with the Instru
ments we had a sextant and an arti
ficial horizon. On December 17 every
thing was in order on the spot We
fastened to the ground a little tent we
had brought along , a Norwegian flag
and the Fram pendant on the top
of It
The Norwegian home at the soutn
pole was called "Polhelm. "
The distance from our winter quar
ters to the pole was about 1,400 kilo
meters. The average march a day was
25 kilometers.
Start on Return Trip.
We started on the return trip on
the 17th oC December. Unusually fa
vorable weather made our way home
considerably easier than the journey
to the pole. We arrived at our winter
quarters , "Framheim , " on the 25th ot
January , 1912 , with two sledges and
eleven dogs , all well.
Among the results are the deter
mination of the extent and character
of the Ross Barrier , and the discovery
of the connection of South Victoria
land and probably King Edward VII.
land , with their continuation in the
mighty mountains running toward the
southeast , which were observed as far
as 88 degrees south , but which In all
probability continue across the antarc
tic continent.
The entire length of the newly dis
covered mountains is about 850 kilo
meters. They have been named
"Queen Maud's Range. "

On January 16 the Japanese expedi

on January 30. It was a long voyage ,
with contrary winds. All are well.
