This is the story of how the wife of

standing in the doorway of a hotel,
lift his hat and smile. Being a trifle
nearslghted, and thinking it was an

ExTERMINATING MOSQUITOES.

lady of this city sends the Adyer-
tiser this clipping and letter IN polll'
WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-The United
States Government has formally recog-
nized the responsibility of the mosquito
for the transmission of yellow fever ano
maIarial diseases. This fact Is lnolcateo
by the Issuance of general oroer oy
Mai Cen Wood, at Havana, directed e
his post commanders, reciring that the
chief surgeon of the Department OF
Cuba has reported that it is now wei
established that malaria ana yellow 1e-
yer and ma!ariai Infection aie transmit
ted by the bites Of mosquitoes.
The troops are enjoined to observe
carefully two precautions. First, they
are to use mosquito bars in all barracks
hospitals and field service, whenever
practicable Second, they are to destroy
the "wigglers," or young mosquitoes, Dy
the use of petroleum on the waters where
they breed. Permanent pools or puddles
are to be filed up. To the others are &c
be applied one ounce of kerosene TO each
fifteen square feet of water twice a
month, which will destroy not only the
young but the old mosquitoes. This does
not injure the drinking water if drawn
from below and not dipped out Protec-
ton is thus secured, according to the Or
der, because the mosquito does not fly
far: seeks shelter when the wind blows
and thus each community breeds its own
mosquitoes.
The letter is las follows:
Editor Advertiser: Two weeks ago
tried the experiment of putting kerosene
into the cesspooE on our premises, to see
if at least few of the millions of mos
quitoes infest:ng& it might not be killed.
My success has been so great that I
want you to tell others of it. 1 only
ah0 a the first dose (ollt
have not repeated it since), and by the
next day not "a mosquito was to be scent
nor have they returned SO far, and If
an occasional sduart-say. once per
mcnth-will bring such peace, shall
consider it a small price to pay.
If people in Honolulu will only, do this
either of their own will or by order of
the Health Board, I feel sure a great
good will be accomplished and at such
small outlay.
The enclosed will show what is being
done by the Government in Cuba.
Yours respectfully,
MRS BLANCHE WATKINS.
The mosquito question in Honolulu
would be easy to solve if it were not
for the rice and taro patches and duck
ponds about the city. These breed mil
lions of the mosquitoes and there is no
easy way of applying the kerosene cure
over so large an area or to do so adj
vantageously upon rice fields and taro
patches of any size. Cesspools and
small open ponds may be treated with
the results stated by Mrs. Watkyns.
For approximate relief Honolulu will
probably have to await the time when
its suburban lands become too valuable
for rice and taro patches and are
drained and built upon.

other professions should be thrown
open to women, because at present too

only thirty-three became physicians,
the others being incapacitated by the
horrors of the dissecting room an

THE CASH NINE

The biggest pile of ore on any dump
in northern Arizona is that on the
dumps of the Cash mine. Hassayampa
district. twelve miles south of Prescott.
The property has been in course of de-
velopment for more than year past
with a large force, and the ore on the
dumps represents only what has been
extracted in sinking and drifting.
though ii amounts to several thousand
tons of fine concentrating ore. The big
stamp mill is very nearly completed.
and as soon as it is put in opera ton
miners viii be put into the slopes. 1t
is said there is enough ore blocked out
In the Cash mines to keep the mill sup
piled for several years. Although it is
about the oldest patented mine in Ari-
iona, nothing of any consequence was
ever done in the way of development
until the present company, composed
of a few eastern capitalists. forming
close corporation, took hold of them
little more than a year ago.
