MAKING 4 HuMAN FACE.
Thomas Colts Thirteen Years Experience
Under the Surgeons.

New I ork sun.
In 1871 Thomas Colt then twelve years old.
was taken to Bellevue Hospital, suffering from
a disease which had destroyed his nose and lips
and had begun to affect his eyes He was taken
in charge BY DR.. Gnstavus Sabine and since that
time has been under treatment with view to
replacing the lost parts of the face.
After the course of the disease had been
checked the process of building up was begun
by cutting away the flesh about the edges of the
orifce. where the nose had been. Then the in
side of the large finger of the right hand was
hayed, and the fresh cut wound was fitted where
the nose should be. The hand was held in place
by bandages and plaster of paris until the finger
had grown fast to the forehead and cheeks of
the patient In the meantime the mouth was
covered by the hand, and silver tube was in
serted into the lads throat through which he
was fed, and through which he also breathed
When the grating of the finger to the face
was completed, and circulation established, the
finger was amputated near the knuckle, leaving
two and a half joints attached to the face. The
operations SO far had required about year, but
the process was only begun. The next step was
to trim down the finger into the shape of nose
by removing the bone and gradually building up
the flesh on each side, and drawing the skin
from the cheeks and forehead over it. In course
of time the result sought was obtained, except
that there were as yet no nostrils.
The eyes of the unfortunate boy had both been
drawn out of position somewhat, and these were
Strengthened by clipping nerves in the manner
usually adopted BY rocuiists in treating cross
eyed people. The eyebrows were also patched
up at the inner ends.
The next step was to give the boy a new pail
of lips. This was done gradually by taking
pieces of flesh from the cheeks and grating
them in place bit by bit
Yesterday, after thirteen years of experience
under a surgeons knife, having meantime un
dergvne and recovered from thirty different
operations, the patient, now young man, left
the hospital His face was smooth, and to the
CaSual robsnPVer bore no traces of what he lSd

NYRA OF ARK GAINES.

Myra Clark Gaines. That name
sounds familiar. Are there not thou
sands who now wear ''silver threads
among the gold" that heard the name
of Myra Clark Gaines when they
were bare footed youngsters? And
looking away back in the dim, dis
tant past they can recall the time
when she added Gaines to her name,
and afterwards appeared before the
Southern courts as plaintiffin a great
suit to gain possession Of large por-
ton of the city of New Orleans, and
as years rolled by and one by one OF
her old associates were laid away in
their final resting places, she
haunted the courts like u
spectre, still claiming, claiming,
and denied and appealing until the
history OF her case and her name be-
came as familiar to Southern people
a. that of George Washington. OF
late years but little has been heard OF
the lady. 1t seems, however, she has
been merely resting to gain breath,
for now she comes before the House
in the shape of bill from the Com
mittee on Private Land Claims, pray
ing for relief. The vitality of the
lady is remarkable and only equalled
by her perslstency in urging her
claims for redress. If death don't
give Myra relief Congress should.

A Beautiful Medal.

We were shown yesterday a beau
tiful medal, sent to Mr.. J. X. Waite,
Of the Olympic, by Richard X. Fox,
ofthe Police Gazette, New York, to
be awarded to the best middle weight
boxer of the ROCKY Mountain Terri
tory. Upon the medal in ebony re-
lief were the following words: "Po-
lice Gazette champion medal, middle
weight boxer Of the Rocky Mountain
Territory. Presented by Richard K.
Fox, Proprietor, New York" The
value Of the medal is 800. Mr.. Fox
gives 1t in order to promote athletic
sports in the Rocky Mountain region,
and those in the se.:tion named are
invited to contest for it. The party
who proves victor in three separate
contests, with Queensberry gloves,
Police Gazette rules, will be entitled
to wear it unchallenged. The medal
is a beauty. Mr.. Fox has placed
every lover of athletic sports in the
Rocky Noun tains under obligation
to him for this substan ntial manifesta-
ton of his interest in the ''manly
art' in this Western country.

A Strange story.

The San Francisco Examiner of
the 14th inst. publishes an exceeding
ingly strange story, which, if true,
makes the circums -ances perhaps the
most tragicalIy romantic that ever oc-
Cured in California. 1t is to the ef-
feet that young and accomplished
woman of the town, knowp as Molly
Din~more, recently died in that city,
among whose possessions there were
some valuable diamonds. A plot
was concocted to rob her body after
burial, aud among those engaged in
it was one George Morris, q former
slower" of hers. One Dight the grave
was opened, and Morris took from
the girls neck a locket. in
which was slip of paper r,
which he read by the light
of a match. It was a newspaper no
tice of the girls birth, and gave him
the information she was his own sis
ter. Morris went mad ON the spot,
and is now an inmate Of the Napa
Asylum. Here Is = plot enough for .
first class drama.

"ANOTHER LIE NAILED

By a recent decision of theSecretary,
an applicant ns0y designate the pa
per In which his application for
patent be published; but only where
there are two or more papers pub
lished equi-distant from the claim
sought to be patented.-C1pp's Lend
Ovner.
Itappears the above excerpt has
been going the rounds of Western
papers, credited as shown. In regard
to it Copp's Fand O,oner for January
makes the following reply under the
above caption:
The above item is In course of pub
lication by the newspapers in mining
communities. Copp's Land Ownes:
| never published such a DECISION.
Secretary Teller never made such q
! decision. There is no law allowing
an applicant f,r mining patent to
choose his newspaper for publication
of notice.
Certainly not. OF course it Is a
lie. There IS no law "allowing all
applicant TOR mining patent to choose
his newspaper for publication Of no.
tice." Neither Is there any law
compelling applicants to publish their
notices In any certain paper. Yet
only certain papers can publish.
Wnere there is Republi IAN paper
printed no Democratic paper need
apply for the publishing of such no
tices, and if they did they couldn't
get it, even if they gave bonds to do
it at half the rates charged by the
favored papers.
Miners are at the mercy of just such
Jim Crow newspapers as the Inter
Mountain. 1t has the printing OF
their notices of applications for pat.
ents, not by virtue Of its agreeing to
print them for less sum than the
MINER or the Union, but because 1t
is Republican paper. For the same
reason it gets the county printing.
not because 1t will do it cheaper, but
because 1t is Republican paper.
This is the policy Of the Republican
party. 1t builds up its nose rags at
the expense OF the people. In this
county miners must pay 80! per cent.
more for the publication of applica-
tions for mining patents because y
little Insignificant, one-horse Repub-
lican newspaper must have pap" or
starve. Taxpayers must also pay As
per cent. more foc the county print
ing in order that the Commissioners
nose rag may continue its existence.
Copp's Land Owner Is right.
Miners have no redress. They must
publish their n ,tices in just such pa
pers as the powers that be may desig-
nate. 1t is the outgrowth of Repub-
lican methods to keep the Republican
party in power. Miners aud tax
payers money is stolen to keep alive
Republican sheets and for the bene-
fit of the Republican party.

II, as Is stated. General Logan will
not oppose the passage Of the Fitz
John Porter bill when it goes to the
Senate. he has taken counsel from
wisdom. Logan sees the drift Of
popular sentiment, and being can
didate for the Presidency he finds it
the better policy to haul In his horns
and foat along with the tide. By
continuing his opposition to the
measure he would arouse the enmity
of thousands of Porter's old army
friends, who might stand in his way
to the White House.
