Remarkable Surgical Operation.

setting Of the right shoulder joint of
Harry West. of Gearing. Nebraska. The
operation Is remarkable in this, that the
shoulder WAS dislucated three years ago,
and that 1t had been treated by a nnRl.

examined the case very carefully, after
which he told the patient to give him

very few moments put his arm in such
condition as TO make il as usefu, to him

Some time ago the CnRoSIcLE re.
ported the sad fact that, there were
reasons, strong and sufficient, to warrant
the belief that our town board were
shopelessly ASLEEP. We now rise to re-

rusty winter garb, take a thorough bath
and don clean and appropriate apparel,
the somnolent situation Of our town
board becomes most alarming, and the
necessity for its resuscitation becomes
most glaringly apparent The peculiar
go as you please method Of managing
our town affairs, which has prevailed
for the past six months, is open to a
multitude OF serious objections which
are not far to seek. A stroll through the
business centre Of the town cannot fail
to impress any one with the fact that
this 90 as You please method is most de-
plorable IN its results. Under this sys-
tenn o. management, or rather the total
absence of management the water
courses its way at will through our
streets, the clogged condition Of the
culverts preventing its passage. Under
this careless method the most public and
prominent thoroughfare, and the alleys
of the place, have become the common
dumping ground for all manner of
debris and trash. to the manifest disgust
of large majority Of our citizens. Un
der this pernicious policy, animals are
openly slaughtered in the very heart OF
the town for TIE market, and pig pens,
reeking with filth, whose vile ascending
exhalations cause the man in the moon
to close his nose with thumb and finger,
in self defense, are permitted to exist, q
standing menace to the public health.
IL the name Of all the gods at once,
let there be some plan suggested, where
by the sleeping board may be awakened
before the bilmy breath of spring shall
have become contaminated with the
present prevailing odors, which the ad-
vent Of warm weather will but serve to
intensity and render still more intoler
able.

Don't Rush to Alaska.

The situation in Alaska at this writ
ing is evidently not such as to warrant
a large influx of miners into that region
the present year. Warnings from resi-
dents of that region against too great Z
rush OF migration are numerous, among
which the situation is fairly described
in a recent letter from a man who re-
Gently went there, to his partner in
Montana. in which he SAYS: IL am
sorry to hear Of such large immigra-
tion coming to Alaska in the spring. for
it will make times hard for some oi
them, for there are lots Of idle men here
now, unless they come prepared to gee

men will get employment in this dis

were able. Men who are coming to
Alaska and depending on getting work
here should not come before the first OF
May. Capita is what is needed here at
present, for there is no doubt rs to the
riches Of this country in quartz, but it
takes experienced and moneyed men to
start the ball rolling. There is a time
in the near future when there will be
thousands of men employed here, but it
will not be this summer, i am afraid !;
this summer is too early for laboring

cupies. A perusal of the varied and
innumerable comments upon his official
course and personal characteristics, fails
to disclose a single redeeming quality IN

glaringly regardless of the pressing le-

PATIENT WAITING NO Loss"

Our well knosn and highly respected
townsman, G. W. Robbins. popularly
known as Cy Robbins, as would appear
from the following mention taken from
the Deadwood Times Of recent date, has
demonstrated the wisdom of the policy
Of persistent perseverance in the pursuit
Of an object, however unfavorable the
chances for success may appear to the
minds of others. After eighteen years
of patient waiting and protracted effort
the long expected and much desired
climax has been reached and his num-
erous friends will be greatly pleased to
hear of his good fortune in striking a
pay streak which We all most earnestly
hope may never deteriorate, but grow
constantl' richer in its future develop
ment. The Times says: "On the 9th
inst, $500 pounds of ore from the Sur
vivor lode, situated on the above gulch,
was hauled by wagon to the ID. <. ID.
smelter, to demonstrate its actual com
mercial value. Yesterday the returns
were received, showing that it carries
ounces silver and and 49-10O ounces
gold per ton. The smelter allowed 30
per cent of the gold and silver, and
charged SS per ton for treatment, de-
ducting for moisture l3 per cent There
was bat 2.34O pounds. which netted the
owners *45.55 for the shipment. 1t is
the first practical test made, and the re-
suit mas been 80 satisfactory that, with
out doubt, arrangements will soon be
made for regular shipments. The Sur
vivor lode is the property Of A. Dunn.
Jas. w. Allen and Cy Robbins, who
have prospected and worked the prop
erty for many years. The ore body is
very extensive and is exposed for many
hundred feet in length and depth. In
adjoining locations as we'll as the Sur
vivor. the ledge varies from 2 to l6 feet
in thickness. resting on porphyry at an
angle of about 45 degrees.
