Russian Flag Hoisted Over No
Man’s Land, Claimed by
Exploration Company.
• LONDON, Nov. 7.—According to a re
port .from, Christiania, via Copenhagen,
Russia has carried out a sensational coup
by annexing part of Spitzbergen, the Arc
tic no-man's-land of ice and coal—and
perhaps gold.
It is alleged that an expedition headed
by M. Rusanoff has hoisted the Russian
flag and annexed Bell sound in the czar's
name. Bell sound has since 1905 been
claimed by a British company called the
Northern Exploration Company.
All round the sound posts have been
erected on which are fastened bronze
plates on which the claim is announced
in English, Norwegian and German, to
this effect:
•‘This land is owned by the Northern
Exploration Company. Claimed in 1905.”
The claim has been Respected by the
Swedes. Norwegians and Germans, who
have enterprises in Spitzbergen, and no
attempt has been made to jump It.
If, however, the Russian expedition has
jumped it in the czar's name an interna
tional "affair" of considerable importance
to Scandinavian countries will arise.
Belongs to No Country.
Spitzbergen belongs to no country. It
is under no flag, but it is open to every
body to go in and peg out claims. Until
recently it was accessible only in the mid
dle of the summer.
But a few years ago coal was discovered
in the Spitzbergen mountains and worked
by a Sheffield company. And later an
American company arrived upon the scene
and staked out a claim for coal mining.
The Americans are still working their
claim, and it is understood that the Shef
field company has disposed of its rights
to the German mining syndicate.
Much more romantic is the history of
the enterprise of the Northern Exploration
Company —the owners of Bell sound.
It was formed to take over a small syn
dicate, which had its beginnings in the re
mote village of Toileshunt D’Arcy, in Es
sex.
Here lived the Rev. M. Gardner, the
rector. Dr. Salter, and Mr. Mansfield, a
retired traveler, mining and Klondike
gold-seeker.*
Fine' Gold in Land.
Mr. Mansfield had heard of gold in
Spitzbergen. and he and the clergyman
and the doctor talked it over.
Not long afterward the rector set out
for Spitzbergen. and brought back to the
Essex ‘village specimens of quartz, rock
and "pay” gravel.
The three friends met to inspect the
specimens. Mr. Mansfield declared that
there was gold among them, and his opin
ion was later confirmed when the speci
mens were tested in London.
The party formed a syndicate and went
to Spitzbergen and staken out their claim.
They deposited plans of their clajm with
the British foreign office and later the
Northern Exploration Company was form
ed. with a capital of $475,000. many influ
ential persons being connected with it.
