had been spread. At the point selected

no doubt help the camp second to no other
mine in the Neihart district.
The Dakota mine is generally regarded
by expert mining men as one OF the nnest
properties in the state, and indeed 1t may
be said that there are few other mines in
the Rocky Mountains that have the show
ing of ore for the amount of development
done. 1t il estimated by conservative hR-
urers that there are 100000 tons OF ore
exposed in the workings, which consist OF
three tunnels and a shaft, all of which will
not amount to more than 1880 feet OF de-
%velopment.
The ore being produced on Carpenter
creek shows a fine per centage In lead and
carbonates-iust such ore as is needed in
treating the baser ores of the camp. Spec
linens taken from Carpenter creek run as
high as II per cent lead and the veins are
from two to six feet in width.
Frank Marion and G. D. Laid let a con-
tract this week to W. S. Jennings to sink a
shaft on the Eighty Eight lode. The
Eighty-Eight, like all the veins in It's local
ity, shows ore from three to five feet OF fine
quality.
Florence is working three eight-hour
shifts. Some trouble is being experienced
with water. The shaft is being sunk as
rapidly as possible.
They are pumping the water out of the
Haphazard shaft. preparatory to putting on

to be allowed the free exercise Of his
own sweet will in the matter Of choice.
Each OF the three medical associations
shall submit to the chief executive OF
exceed twice the number OF appoint
ments to be made from the respective
bodies, and from these three lists the
governor shall select his members OF the
boards Of examiners. The names OF
such nominees, again, may be selected
only at the annual meeting OF the so
ciety to which they are affiliated, and
they must have Il majority Of the meet
ing in their favor, A period OF three
months is allowed to the governor to
make a suitable selection from the lists
presented to him every year. Too
much care, it is evidently felt, can
not be exercised in the choice
of the members of the boards. Ii they
are men above the faintest suspicion OF
professional jealousy or personal advance
ment, their power will need only to be
exercised to be supported. For this
reason, we presume, it is further provid-
ed that no one connected in any official
way with a medical college shall be eli
gible for nomination. Acceptance Of any
such connection shall also vacate a seat
already held. For continued neglect OF
duties, or on the recommendation OF a
members special society alleging unpro-
fessional or dishonorable conduct, the
governor shall have power OF removal.
In the regulations for the examina-
tion OF candidates, care and thorough
ness are again conspicuous. Each board
shall hold for the purpose n or more
special meetings each year, and public
notice must be given. 10 each member
of each board shall each year be as
signed by the president of his society
one special branch Of the examination.
1t shall be the duty of each to prepare
the necessary questions and conduct the
examination in the branch to which he
has been assigned. But there is to be
no conflict of rival schools. In all cases,
the board that represents the Illinois
institute of homeopathy shall examine
homeopathic applicants; the eclectic
board shall treat eclectics; and all others
shall be handed over to the tender mer-
cies of the state medical board. Per
sons who pass a satisfactory examina-
ton shall be granted a certificate to that
effect, and there and wisely the func-
ton of the examining bodies ends.
The physician who has passed the ex-
animation and become entitled to the
certificate of his examining board, must
present himself with his credentials be-
fore the secretary of the state board of
health. That body can hold no exam
nations whatever. 1t is simply the
duty of its secretary to examine the Gre
dentials laid before him, to demand evil
dence of good moral character and, if
that is Forthcoming, to grant a license
to practice. Certificates shall be re-
fused only to dishonorable and unpro-
fessional individuals, and once granted
they may be revoked on these grounds,
after an opportunity for defense has
been permitted. In no case, we call
special attention to this, in no case shall
a license to practie be granted, unless
tie applicant has received certificate OF
satisfactory examination.

ILLINOIS MEDICAL BILL

The general public of Illinois and the
regular practitioners Of medicine are in
tho field demanding protection against
medical quacks and quackery. With
that object, a bill has been introduced
simultaneously in both house and sen,
ate, and there seems every probability
Of it's o becoming law. Such a meas
ure the experience of most of the states
OF the union proves to be not only legiti-
mate aud commendable; the insolence
OF %pretenders has made it absolutely
necessary. Neither class feeling nor
professional jealousy should be allowed
to influence a feathers weight in the
construction and operation OF any medi-
cal bill. Its genesis is the protection of
the public who are not in a position to
form an expert judgment of the profess
sional men who proffer their services.
In a secondary degree, it ought to in
sure protection for the large class of
medical men who, at great cost oil time.

oughly equipped themselves for the du-
ties OF their honorable profession. Our
W medical bill has proved such a
fiasco that, in the interests of the men
who drew the bill and the doctors who
failed to work it, it may be we'll to sum.
Marie the provisions of the Illinois

First and foremost, there shall be. no,

A Former Bonanza Reopened.

Recent developments on the Dispatch
have been of a most encouraging nature,
and all interested in it are feeling highly
gratiied, says the Inter Mountain. 1t was
first opened up years ago, and proved a
veritable bonanza, $4,000 being taken out
of one stope. Only the surface ore was
worked out, and that. was SO rich that it
paid $500 per ton after being shipped to
Glendale. The mine was found to be very
wet, however, and required heavy machinery
for working. and as the rock grew bar. en-
near the water line it was abandoned for
the time. Recently G. G. Frost and others
secured a lease upon it and began to sink at
once. To their surprise they found no water
whatever in the shaft, although the works
showed where it had risen at one time with
in twenty five feet of the surface. When
they had gone down three feet pay rock be-
gan to show up. and now they have two feet
of as fine ore as can be found in the camp.
Some specimens of it sre now on exhibition
in the office of X. M. Cobban d Co., and are
being greatly admired. some Of it has
gone as high as 81, 900 to the ton, and the
greater portion taken out to date runs all
the way from 500 to $500 per ton. The in
dications are so encouraging that "a con-
tract was let Friday to Shoemaker d Mel
klejohn to sink the shaft $50 feet additional,
when the property will be thoroughly de-
yeloped.
