Another Arctic Exploring Expedition.

April 19, 1889

Winnipeg, Man., April 16—The Everest exploring party left for the Arctic Circle yesterday. The party consists of five and is led by A. W. Everest, the wealthy proprietor of a large stock farm. They will go from here to Calgary, thence across the country to Edmonton, and they will descend the Mackenzie river until the Arctic Ocean is reached, and at the mouth of the river they intend to build a vessel with which they will try to round Cape Barrow. They hope to return through the Behring Straits and, skirting Alaska, reach Victoria in about a year’s time.
