PREDICTS INFLUX OF GOLD.
Dredging. Shaler Says. Will Bring
Enormous Quantities to Light

Cambridge. Mass.-Prof. n. S. Sha-
Ter. Harvard's famous geologist. pre-
diets that there will be an influx of
gold within the next forty years which
is likely to produce serious economic
complications. He bases his statement
on dredgeS. which make it possible to
work thousands of square miles of
gold bearing territory which cannot
now be profitably mined.
Prof. Shaler lectured for an hour on
the subject in Sanders theater yester-
day morning. He said that, according
to his estimates. there are from 1000
to 5000 square miles of alluvial plains
in America which will bear vast guam
titles of gold under the new dredg-
ing system, and ne stated that il was
practically certain that the quantity of
gold in the world will be quadrupled in
the next forty years. The quantity
would. he said. be increased ten-fold
We're it not for the fact that the price
of labor will advance with the increase
of gold and make the working of the
rock beds and more expensive mines
impossible.
Prof. Shaler believed that there is
$50. 900 900. 0C0 worth of gold to be TAX

Having proceeded to execute the

or to report their completion. and re-
specially furnish the following report
of my reconnaissance, together with
rhe accompanying map:
Upon leaving San Antonio my es-
cort consisted of fourteen men-all CT
villains. l decided upon taking wagons
along. as far as possible. as they would
afford the best test of the practicability
of the road. The nearest post to the
point at which my examination was to
commence is Fort Washita. in the In
dian Territory. Apart from the fact of
its being a good starting-pOint from
which to commence the survey, it poss-
essed the advantages of enabling me to

reftting out my expedition with ami
mails, or whatever might be needed. be-
ore finally getting beyond the reach of
settlements. In consideration of these
circumstances. proceeded first to Fort
Washita-the distance being about $50
miles. The road travelled was upon the
extreme line of settlements. although
within the present line of military
posts. For the first hundred miles. the
country has become pretty well settled:
for the rest of the way. farms were on
Iy met with at intervals of ten and fif-
teen miles. With but few exceptions.
the road was an excellent one through
out: the country was generally a fine
grazing one. and well watered. fine bold
streams crossed at short distances.
With the exception of post oak and one
or two other varieties of oak. no timber
was to be met with. except Immediately
uopn the banks of streams. The prin-
cipal, and / might say the only. produce
of the farms is corn; the demand being
limited. there is but a small supply.
each farmer raising corn merely suf-
ficient for his own use and for the few
passing travellers. Upon approaching
Red river. some few fields of cotton
were seen. The villages along the road
are mostly small. containing perhaps.
some half dozen dwellings-the latter
but poor and Indifferent. Even the
most trivial comforts are unknown to a
greater portion of them. Within few
miles of Red river. more signs of in
dustry and ease are visible. and you

Yellow Fever Se-
rumSODecIared.
Commission Which In
vestigated.
DR.. CaIdas Wouldn't Show
Isolated Germ.

Havana, Sept. 10.-A special vel
low-fever commission appointed to
investigate the efficiency of DR.. Cal.
das' serum has submitted report.
The. commission consisted of the yel.
low-fever board and Surgeon Major
Havard. The report states that DR..
Caldas refused to show the yellow
fever germ which he claimed to have
isolated. The reason for his refusal
was that he had given pledges to the
company that had been formed to
exploit his discovery.
DR.. Caldas asked the commission to
test his serum by having a man pre-
viously inoculated with it bitten by
a mosquito which had previously bit
ten yellow fever patient. Never
theless he subsequently gave as one
of his reasons for not believing that
the man Alfonso, who had been inocu-
lated with his serum, had yellow
fever, was that mosquitoes prepared
by the board could not give yellow
fever, but only putrid fever. The re.
port also says that the commission
came to the conclusion that DR.. Cal
das had made up his mind that the
case should not be one Of yellow
fever so far as he was concerned,and
he would not study it with scien-
tifc spirit. This refers to the time
when Alouso's disease was diagnos-
ed as yellow fever and DR.. Caldas
was shown the case and asked to ex-
anime it for himself.
The conclusions of the board Were:
First, that Dr. Caldas kept his al
legged discovery from the study of
scientists; second, that the claim
made by DR.. Caldas that the yellow
fever agent was found only in the
intestinal tract was in direct opposi-
ton to the evidence furnished by
mosquito inoculations and direct
blood inoculations made by the board
presided over by Major Reed, U. s.
A., and, third, that the attempt made
by DR.. Caldas to immunize individuals
against yellow fever by means of the
serum prepared by him had failed
The commission therefore recon-
mends that all further experiments
with the serum cease. The report
was signed by Surgeon Major Hav'
ard. DR.. Gorgas, the chief medical
officer, and Drs. Guiteras, FinlaJ
and Alhertin. DR.. Hazard has WIT
ten an account of the experiment fol
