Elmer L. Dale, eighteen years old, whose
nome Is at Williamsburg, Pa, was given
treatment at the Emergency Hospital to-
day for a severe injury received while
working on an oyster boat near Colonial
Beach. He reached here yesterday and
found his way to the Good Samaritan
Home conducted by William f. Downey
Last night he remained there and this
morning he called on Sanitary Officer Frank
for assistance.
His story was that he was i'll treated and
kicked while working on an oyster boat,
and he was sent to the Emergency Hos
ptal where the doctors found his injury
was of serious nature. An abcess had
formed as the result of the kick, and as he
will probably have to remain under treat
ment for several days he was sent to Provi-
dence Hospital.

When about to leave the place-which
might have been q town Of five or six
thousand people-we noticed fresh blood
upon the clay walks and spattered against
the walls Of the buildings. A little further
on was found the cap of Russian soldier
and a few rods away. close by the entrance
of an alley, were the beheaded remains Of a
white man. The clothes had been stripped
from the body and II was impossible to
Judge whether the victim had been q soldier
or civilian, but the finding Of the cap led
us to believe that one of the czar's troopers
had met his fate there. Almost simultane-
ously with the finding Of the body one of
our party noticed large number Of China

gave the alarm. AS we hurried from the

deserts of the south and southwest there
are vast expanses of rich sands that might
be made to give up millions Of dollars
worth of gold il the necessary water
could be obtained. a friend of EdisOn's,
a scientist of no mean repute, says:
"To mining men this has been one Of
the greatest problems and the fact that
man like Edison was engaged in trying
to solve II has been a matter of the great
est interest to them. In fact, they have
unbounded faith in the ability Of the
wizard Of electricity to make good his
promises, and there are few people now
who will dare to assert that the secret
process will not prove success.
"While ore concentrators are not new

every respect. The only man, however,
who knows the secret of its construction
Is the inventor himself, and even when Il
Is put In operation no other person will
share the secret, with the exception Of a
trusted employe who will be taken from
his New Jersey laboratory to assist Mr..
Edison In its operation. The only thing
which the outsiders, or even the workers
at the mines, will see Of its workings will
be tie gravel being dumped into the hop

end, separated from its precious burden Of
gold, which will be delivered at another
part Of the machine ready for the work Of
the reiincr. Those who construct the
machine will have no idea of how II Is
operated. They will be given certain
parts OF the machine to make according to
designs furnished them, and they will
have no knowledge as to the purposes for
which the parts are intended. Some idea
OF the secrecy with which the eoncentra. /

persuaded to mount horse and take a
gallop with the boys. AS they pre-
pared for the. start, Roosevelt remarked
TO Captain Troupe, "Now, boys, when
