COOK FOUND COAL DEPOSITS

Dillon Wallace Says Northern Lands Are of Great Value. Poughkeepsie, N. Y., Sept. 3.—Dillon Wallace, the author and explorer, whose companion, Leonidas Hubbard became lost and starved ’ to death while exploring Labrador, in an interview said that he had implicit faith in Dr. Frederick Cook’s wonderful feat. Asked what benefits will be derived from Dr. Cook’s discovery by the United States, Wallace said: “The great northern country Is a strange land to us. I have not the least doubt that Dr. Cook has taken a series of geographical notes which will be of the greatest value. “I have seen some of the notes which were sent back by him two years ago when he was in Greenland. He tells of vast coal mines and other ore, which this country some day will find of the greatest value and will be highly pleased to possess.”
