kAfIN OLD veteran of the Union army,
}AS living in this City, who has been
ISNS suffering for forty years from in
juries received in the Civil War, was re-
Gently struck with the happy thought
that The X ray might be made more
effectually influential friend to him than
any heretofore induced to work in his be-
half. He is so much elated with the sue
cess of his appeal to this new agency that
he wishes the news to reach wide circu-
lation, so that haply many other old vet
Grams with similar cases to his own may
learn of the use to which he put the radio
graph and profit by his example.
The veteran is A. A. Mclean, who was
mem Der of the California Cavalry Battal-
ion, attached to the Second Massachusetts,
Cavalry. This body of 500 men was the
only organized troop that went East from
California to serve in the Union army.
Mr.. Mclean was in fifty-two engage
ments, and among number of other
wounds received severe one in his right
foot, which has been greater pain and i'm
pedim ent to him than all the others. On
the occasion of this painful injury his
horse was shot under him, and falling
violently upon the bard ground caught
the riders foot beneath the crushing
weight. Mr.. Mclean was borne from the
field insensible. His foot had been in
iured, and the popularity was that it gave
no external evidence of the extent and
permanence OF the detriment, so as to en-
able a physician TO give positive testi-
mony to the fact. and thus enable the vet
eran TO draw pension, to which he was
clearly entitled ii the proof of his disable
ment could be put before the Pension
Office in proper shape.
The problem of how to prove to the off,
GERS of the Government that the damaged
foot was permanent impeachment 10 his
activity has at last been solved by the X
ray. Mr.. Mclean had his foot photo
graphed by a powerful instrument In the
Office OF DR.. E. s. de Puy. with the result
that the internal condition of tie foot is
shown so clearly that any competent
physician can now positively certify that
the injury to the foot is so great as to be
reason sufficient to demand for the vet.
eran pension.
This radiograph of McLean's foot has
been admitted as evidence by the Pension
Office and his claim filed for a hearing.
1t is the first case of the kind from this
coast and the second on record at the Pen
sion Office. Mclean supposed that he
was the first to think of introducing such
evidence. but in reply to his application
his lawyer sent him a letter saying he was
the second on record and inclosing the
following clipping from a Washington
paper:
The X ray has made its appearance at the
Pension Office. Abraham Silverstein of New
York filed photograph as proof in his claim,
showing how all the bones of his wrist were
shattered by bullet wound. The external
appearance failed to convince the surgeons of
the fact. but the X radiograph is conclusive.
This is the first instance when the X ray has
been used in proving pension claim.
Up to very recent date the courts,

played splendid surface indications OF
riches hidden beneath the ground.
The way we finally decided upon this
locality made deep impression upon my
mind, especially when the future came
with its after developments.
Ten days before we arrived upon the
spot, my partner, Eames. suddenly threw
his pack from his shoulders and shouted
franticaIIy:
at Is here! 1t is here!''
What is here?" 1 replied rather
ungraciously, the sudden change of my
partner from depression to frantic Joy had
SO startled me.
"Our mine" my partner answered. at is
around here. We will find it if we search u
How do you known" was my next in
quiry.
Because l have seen this place before.
1t is all clear to me now. They have
guided me here and are pointing their
fingers toward the hill. They have prom
ised to lead me to wealth. Come on.
They are going before US. Let US follow"
In every other respect but this halIucin-
alton about the unseen guide Eames was
quite himself. He shared the Iabors of
each day and in all OF our conversation 8
no evidence of mental incapacity was OBJ
seryable. Pity and sorrow for his strange
delusions quite overpower ed me at, times.
He, however, confidently asserted that
n stead of his being the mad one it
was ] who was deluded. He would
prove, he said, that the guide which
was leading him would not betray. We
would both be convinced of the truth be-
fore long.
For week after this conversation we
dragged our way over the pathless ranges,
myself the victim of the most violent de-
preston, but bob" as hopeful and deter
mined as possible. Utterly tagged with
both mental and physical fatigue one day
threw mysef upon the ground and swore
that would no longer follow this silent
guide. Bob, prayed, begged and appealed
to our loyal friendship that we should
stay together just little longer, and then
we agreed that if in two more days the OBJ
iect of our search was not attained he
would consent to its abandonment. The
next morning a ray from the rising sun
shone upon a rock standing up from the
mountains side about half mile distant
from our camp.
"There is our mine, George. That is the
rock they have been pointing to for week
past" said Eames.
The hope that the mirage that
my friend had been following for so long
was at last at its vanishing point nerved
me to follow his hurried footsteps with
my pick aud hammer. only anxious to
know how cruelty he had been deceived
into following intangible guides and
hoping that this sad experience would
cure my faithful friend of his unhappy
malady. 1 saw him from distance strike
the rock with his pick and eagerly grasp
the fragments. Then 1 saw him spring
into the air with glad shout and fall to
the ground as if dead.
The San Francisco call., 1897-02-14

With trem bling limbs 1 approached the
spot, prey TO the most dreadful antici-
pations. but l found my friend not dead,
but alive and laughing for Joy.
They are true guides. Look ct that
rock" said he.
My friend had good grounds for his ex
traVagant and hysterical elation. The
powlder from VIII! !ch he had broken great
piecs was solid quartz, with veins of pure
gold extending in every direction. Night
saw that rock broken into a thousand
pieces, and for days afterward we were
busy crushing the fragments and extract
ing the free gold. In all, our treasure
yielded US over 100 ounces, even with our
imperfect method of extraction. Our sea-
sons work had been successful and I
urged a return to the bay.
My friend assented, and that night we
packed our belongings and prepared for
an early start. The visions that haunted
the mind of my partner see med to have
been driven away in the tumultuous ex-
element which accompanied our find of
the bowlder and subsequent labors, and
l had hoped they would trouble US
no more. The night passed in the pro-
foundest slumber but in the morning Bob
asserted that his guide had again ap-
peared and had told him to search. Moth.
ing could persuade him to disobey the
unseen messenger, and / consented to
wait.
We did search the locality far and wide.
Nothing escaped our watchful observation
and we were rewarded. We found where
the bowlder had become detache d, and
only short distance from the surface dis.
covered the vein exposed-the source of
our present wealth.
Until winter came with its fierce blasts
we remained with our mine. Not soli-
tary prospector had disturbed US during
all that summer. Our share of gold with
which we had commenced the summers S
work had doubled.
We brought the first news of the great
discovery of ours, and early in the sue
ceeding summer we again started for the
camp. But we were not alone. Thou

find in Calaveres County came after us.
and thus was Angel Camp founded. We
called our mine the Utica. after our home
in New York. and sold it afterward at a
sum which realized our greatest anticipa.
tions. At this day it is the most produc-
tive gold mine in the State and distributes
to its already rich stockholders over
100000 every month.
1t is possible that we should have re-
tained possession of the Utica but for
sad affiiction whici befell my friend, Bob.
A disorder manifested itself in his ewes
and gradually he became totally blind.
He vehemently asserted the reality of the
guides, and derided the possibility of de-
lusion on hi, part. They were visible to
him even when the sight of his eyes be-
came obstructed. To him they were tan
gible creatures. Without them, he as
serted, we should never have discovered
our way to riches. The subject was dis
tressing to me, and finally was dropped
between us. took him to San Francisco
and visited an eminent oculist, who cured
him. He said that Bob had what is
known as senile cataract, and that strange
visions were an accompaniment of the
disease. Twenty years afterward Bob
told me he had seen no spirits since the
cataract was cut away from his eyes.

SCIENCE 4IDS THE VETERHN

cedent, had refused to admit as evidence
the testimony OF this wonderful X ray,
which can see through barriers impene-
traole 10 human eyes; but Judge LIE Fever
of the Colorado Superior Court has deliv-

as evidence. This breaks the ice of
hindrance from lack of precedent and
the X ray will hereafter penetrate into
sacred precincts of the courts to enlighten
them ON points which, without its aid,
would remain enshrouded in darkness.
1t is probable that this decision by the
court influenced the Pension Office in the
resolution to accept such evidence from
the old soldiers, and in this connection it
will be of interest to read Judge LIE
Fever's delivery on the subject. 1t is as

The radiograph of Mr.. McLean's foot
shows depression of the tarsai bones and
impairment of the plantar arch. This de-
The San Francisco call., 1897-02-14

preston OF the bones causes an unusual
and unequal pressure upon the terminal
nerve filaments contained in the inter
articular cartilages, and the result is great
pain and interference with motion. When
an experienced surgeon sees this picture
he knows at once that the applicant for
the pension does not exaggerate in stat

him to the pension for disabled veterans.
Without this picture the pension officers
might have firmly believed the :,sJiicant's

of many battles would have had to bear
his lifetime pain without even the small
mitigation of the moderate pension al
