WILKINS PARTY RETURNS.
EXPLORATION ABANDONED. VANCOUVER, June 7. The representatives of the Associated Press at Fairbanks, Alaska, says a party of four explorers, headed by Captain G. H. Wilkins, -eturned there last evening from Point Barrow in the aeroplane Detroiter. The machine had left Fairbanks on May 8 on a proposed flight across the Arctic wastes.
The return of the party is taken to mean the abandonment of the plan to explore the Arctic region this year. Captain Wilkins and his companions are glad to be back at Fairbanks. They are tired of the frozen country on the Arctic coast, which has been shrouded in fog since May without a break. — (Eeuter.) " •
