mines about the camp they would
read too much like romance to be
believed by the capitalist or min
ing man Of the coast. and to the
tsnderfoot OK tho cast they would
smack strongly Of u prospectus of
district company. who offered
thousands for as many dollars.
Second There are a number of
mine owners and companies in this
district who Tor good reasons desire

surfaces were applied strip of
the muscle from the thigh of dog.
The transportation was made 60
quickly that no contraction Of the
dogs muscle was possible, and then
the woman's arm was sewed up.
She recovered the use of her arms
and fingers, while the dog seems to

the woman. The operation will
make revolution in the treatment
OF many cases OF distorted and
crippled limbs which have defed
surgical skill.
