A LARGE SKIN GRAZING.
Three Men Give Up Healthy Cuticle to Saw
the Life of Another.

Anfee men 1.-Two Up beaithy CUtlcle TO save
the Life of Another.
Two heroes in humble life Friday even
ing barred their bodies to the surgeons
knife at the Samaritan hospital and al
lowed DR.. Little to take as much skin as
he needed 30 save the life of Henry Mill
man, "A years. The names Of the two
men are joseph Council, 2S years, and
William Fricke, as years. This was the
second skin grating on AIiIlman.
Eight weeks ago Henry Millman was
seriously burned BY falling on stove in
a shanty at Eighth street and Allegheny
avenue. For a time his life was despaired
of. He partially recovered, buta surface
of about 14e square inches on his body
was almost burned to crisp. AS the
ulcers did not heal, the doctors decided
to graft new skin over this large surface
of Millman's body.
The sufferers younger brother, John
Millman, 2S years, volunteered to have
as much skin taken from his thigh as was
needed to cover the sore on his brothers
side and breast. About 60 square inches
were required, and week ago the skin
from John Millman's thigh was grated
on his brothers side.
Speaking of the skin grating, DR.. Les
ter said that it was the biggest thing Of
the kind ever done in the hospital, and
as the injured mans side was healing
there was ground for believing that the
second grating would be success.
Friday evening 20 square inches of
skin were taken from the left thighs of
Connell and Fricke, IA inches being cut
from Fricke and 8 from Cornell. The
skin was transferred from the blade of a
carver by which it was removed direct to
Millman's body, ON which is an exposed
place Of about 70 square inches. Con-
nell and Fricke seemed quite cheerful
while their skin was being removed.
Both said that they were ready to sub
NIT to further skinning whenever DR..

BleeAR's DRESS SUIT.
The Thrifty Parnellite Who Walked Rather
Than Fay q Penny.

The Thrifty ParnelNte Who Walked Rather
Than Fay Penny.
Talking of Che speakers dinners to
members, at which, in compliment to
the official position of the host as repre-
sentative OF her majesty in the house Of
commons, levee dress or uniform is
worn by the guests, was once told a
funny story Of the late Joseph Biggar,
the thorny tempered deformed little ba-
con merchant who was the aristocratic,
refined Parnell's first ally and for some
time his only follower in parliament.
Blggar was not poor man, but he
was thrifty one, and he hated the idea
of spending money on O court dress.
Yet Mr.. Parnell liked his party to ap-
pear at the speakers dinners as assert
ing their privileges of parliament. So
Biggar undertook the irksome expense
Of hiring court suit in which to 90 to
dine with the speaker. The man who
told me the story, another member who
was not dining officially that night,
was in the habit of going homo with
Biggar on the top of the last tram
they lived near each other ont Lanbreth
way somewhere-and on this night the
quaint little form of Biggar appeared in
his smart, trim dress, sword, paste but
tons and all without even an overcoat
to go home, as usual
His companion demonstrated, but in
vain, nor would Biggar even consent to
ride as far as the tram would have taken
him, but got down, as was his custom,
at the extreme point to which penny
conveyed him and walked the street
thence to his rooms. His companion
went so far as to offer to pay the extra
penny out of his own pocket, but Biggar
refused sternly. He was savage at tho
foolish expense to which he had already
gone and would not have even penny
more made of it.
A man capable of such indifference to
costume has right to demonstrate
about feminine attention to dress, bat
few are those men Mrs. Fenwick- Mil

AT Julian and Escondido.

The Advocate reports mining craze
in the Eseondido region at present. The
location OF the Golden Eagle mine in
Crescent valley by Messrs. Frzell.
Rhodes & German, has excited several
others to take up mining lecstions in
the near neighberheod. S. P. Abel has
located a mining claim adjoining the
Golden Eagle, which he has christened
the Vulture, but insists that no insinua-
tions are intended by the name. The
assays of rock from tina Golden Eagle re-
ceived from Los Angeles are as good as
its prcprieters had expected, and force
OF men is new at work developing the
property and that rock showing consid-
cradle free gold is being taken out, adds
to the enthusiasm Of its preprietors.
There is more activity of late in min
ing properties around Julian. The Sem
tinel reports that Harry Malone and DAN
Mcpherson have taken lease on the
South Hubbard mine and are actively at
work, with very fair prospects for good
cleanup in the near future. The Gable
mine, owned by Cowles Bros. of San
Diego. has been leased to San Diego par
ties, and will be Etarted up in few
days. 1t is said that the Hubbard mine
also will be opened up in few days by
San Diego parties.

The lodges run from % inches to 20

one to four miles, where they run into
the Santa Margarita grant, the course
being from northeast to southwest, and

sight has been located.
There will be some developing wor K
done soon on the McCulloch claims, as
an arrsstre will be put in and practical
tests made before putting in extensive
machinery OF any kind.

ager Gabel. in an interview with the
editor OF the Mail. The company has
been incorporated under the laws Of
Arizona, plans and specifications have
been prepared, site selected near the
old bridge across the Colorado river, and
within few weeks, when another
meeting OF the directors will be held,
contracts will be ratified and steps taken

The plans contemplate the building of
two furnaces OF 100 tons capacity daily,
two roastera with brick stays 5x5 feet
and 80 feet in height, together with
sampling works, necessary elevators,
etc. The plant will cost $l0o,080 in

has already been subscribed. For
month past an agent has been at work
securing estimates as to the amount of
ore on which q smelter could rely, and
1t 10 found that at least 100 tons daily
could be counted on at the start, 70 OF
which will come from the Prescott
