Jas. Ford, manager of the West
Fisher Gold Mining Co., was on Black
tail mountain the first of the week,
looking over their property and ac-
cepting a cabin recently completed
on the Treasure Vault claim. A con-

numerous on their property he has

Supt. Geo. Berrien of the Brick &
Branagan, was in town the first of the
week. He tells us that his company
has purchased the machinery for ten
additional stamps Of the E. P. Allis
Co.. Milwaukee, but are in receipt Of
letter from the firm stating that the
strike of the machinists may delay it's
delivery for time. The new i'm
provements at the company's grounds,
however, will be carried out as soon
as possible. AS soon as the lumber
can be sawed the flume will be built,
and also the addition to the mill to
provide for the new machinery. A
sawyer arrived from Kalispell this
week and the work will be soon mov-
ing along to an early completion.
H. Hilderbrandt was in town the
first of the week from the Alabama
group. where he is doing considerable
development work. He is sinking on
the lead at number of points on the
surface, and makes a showing which
would indicate the group to be one of
the best gold propositions in the camp.
There are two veins, one Immediate
ly above the other, the two showing
up thickness of about feet. Ere.
quent pan tests have given entirely
satisfactory results. Mr.. Hildebrandt
expects company to take the group
at an early day, when the property
will be thoroughly exploited, and if
there is any value in surface showings
it is matter of short time only
when it is equipped with machinery.
Scott N. Sanford, president and
manager of the Blacktail Mining Co.,
arrived in the camp this week and put
on force of men building roads for
the immediate development of the
property. The first is a road up Bran.
lett creek from the Fisher Creek Co.'S
Office to the lower part of the new ten
stamp mill to be installed at once.
The next is road to the upper part
of the mill from the same aoint, and
the third a road from the upper part
of the mill over Blacktail mountain
to the main workings of the company's
grounds. On the former ones he Sc
cured grade as good as that from
Foundation to the Brick & Branagan
mill, while on the one over the noun
tain, by running easterly as far as the
Tip Top. he reached the mine on a
grade of less than 10 per cent, with no
upgrade from the mine out. This last
road will be used to haul lumber and
supplies to working camp to be es-
tablished at the mine, and could be
utilized to good advantage in hauling
ore to the mill until a tramway is
completed, or in an emergency.

TESTING New Silver Dollars,


Whenever fresh batch of silver
dollars is turned out at the mint,
samples are forwarded to the treas
ury at Washington, where they are
put through very curious process,
which the Philadelphia Post describes
Each dollar is first weighed on ex-
quisitely delicate scales, to make sure
that it is heavy enough, and yet not
too heavy. Then it is passed through
two steel rollers again and again, un.
til it is flattened out and transformed
into thin sheet of silver-a sort of
ribbon-a foot and a half in length.
Then it is put beneath a little ma
chine provided with several punches,
by which hundreds Of tiny discs are
punched out of the metal strip. Now,
the object of this performance is to
obtain samples of metal from all
parts of the dollar, inasmuch as it is
conceivable that one portion might
be richer in silver than another. The
little discs are shuffled together. and
a few of them, taken at random from
the lot. are subjected to assay. Thus
the fineness of the material of the
dollar is ascertained with absolute
accuracy. and the weight having been
already determined. the value and
correctness of tho coin are nerfectlY
known. The sample pieces having
been found correct. it is inferred that
the entire batch of dollars is all
right.

"A WONDERFUL SERUM
Argentine Army Surgeon Claims He
Has Cure for Consumption.
Experiments ON Fifty Patients, Near
Iy All of Whom Recover-Opin-
ion of a New York Doctor
Regarding Discovery.

DIR. Carlos l.. Nillar, an Argentine
army surgeon, has just published a re-
port of the treatment of so cases of
tuberculosis with his serum at the
military hospital in Buenos Ayres.
The treatment extended from Decem-
Der 2, 1900, to April 20, 1901.
Tuberculosis in the early stage, says
DR.. Villar, was cured within 40 days.
Patients whose cases were more adj
vanced, but without complications, he
reports, were all cured within 90 days.
OF those patients whose cases were
far advanced, all were cured except
those who could offer very little resist
ance to the diaease.
DR.. Nillar did not divulge the char
acter of his serum, but it is known to
be yellow fluid. Hypodermic injec-
tions are made, varying in quantity,
every second, third, fourth or fifth
day, according to the individual cases.
Argentine physicians have been in
vited to investigate the alleged cures
and the serum treatment. The expert
ments with the serum have created II
favorable impression.
DIR. George +. Shrady, of New York
city said that the medical profession
did not place much confidence in the
serum treatment of tuberculosis.
"There have been many experiments
of this nature" said he, "since the an
nouncement of the discovery of Prof.
Koch, in 1876 The so-called tubercu-
lin of Koch is now seldom used, eX-
cept for diagnosing tuberculosis in
cattle. The serum treatment has not
been of any real value in consumption.
"The medical profession now holds,
after centuries of experiment, that
the proper treatment for tuberculosis
is change to dry, pure air. The inn
preston that men are not cured of
consumption is "A prevalent and an er-
roneous one. There have been thou
sands of cures. The disease may be
cured if nature is able to throw off the
solid matter from the lungs. Pure air,
good food and exercise build mp the
natural powers of resistance.
"The fact that DR.. Villar does not
give the formula of his remedy would
prejudice the medical profession
against it. A remedy designed to ben
eft the human race should be as free
