It Is Proving to Be Of Value In Caring
Consumption.

New York, Jan. 27.-Experiments are
being made en- a most elaborate scale
in London with a modification OF Tes-
las high frequency electrical currents
IN the treatment Of consumption. II
Is stated that some remarkable results
have been achieved, says the London
correspondent of tbs Herald.
These experiments for the most part,
have been conducted by DIR. r. j.. Box
enham, an eminent West End urgeon,
In the curse Of his private practice,
but with the knowledge and approval
of leading consumption specialists. For
various reasons, but principally be
cause of evil results which might en-
sue II the system were used by any but
the most experienced medical men,
with a perfect knowledge Of the forces
they were dealing with, the expert
ments have been quietly conducted.
Applications for details of the meth
DDS used have not been encouraged. DR..
Bohemian has had fitted up a most
elaborate apparatus for the production
of electricity in the particular form in
(which 1t is used, the net result Of which
D that a current of $4,000 volts is pro
duced, of such high frequency and adj
mlnistered In such small quantities
that the consumptive patient may re-
ceive it without the slightest injury.
The awe-inspiring force of this volt
age may be best appreciated when 1t is
remembered that only 500 volts are
employed for driving trains on a rail
way. Yet the patient Is not conscious
of the enormous electrical pressure.
DR.. BOkenham's experience is that in
very bad cases of consumption the
cough has been greatly reduced, the
night sweats have disappeared, the APP
petite has improved and there has been
a gain in weight and general health. SO
that even If the consumption baccill
have not been destroyed, it is certain
that their virulence has been much de
creased that they have been brought
under control and that the patient has
felt cured. A doubt entertained by
phthisis specialists, who do not ques-
ton this temporary improvement, is
whether it is anything but a mere ex-
hiliaratiOn. DR.. Bohemian, however,
has great faith in the future Of the VS.

The Washington Times says: 1.-THE
Postofice Department receives tele
grams almost daily reporting the rob
berry Of pOstofiices in various sections
Of the country, but a dispatch received
from n postmaster in New Mexico b
unique in that 1t reports the theft OF
IN entire postofice. 1t Is as follows:
The Postmaster General: l notify you
on the 23d day. of December 4 gang Of
four humanitdry men assaulted me
and my deputy on that day Of noon"
A demented Italian leaped from the
westbound Santa Fe passenger train at
Riordan station and took to the woods.
Sheriff James Johnson of Flagstaff
was notified and captured the man. At
the Jail he was examined and a self
inflicted wound was found on his head.
DR.. Miller dressed the wound, and as
he turned around the man seized the
doctor, and with n pair Of surgical scis-
sors, which he had grabbed from the
doctors case, stabbed him several
times in the neck. The man was final
ly overpowered and locked in a cell.
He says the officers are after him for
some crime he committed, but refuses
to tell for what or where he is wanted,
what is his name.

LEAD ADVANCES.
Smelling Combine Adds So to the
Price-Copper Also Rises.

Smelling Combine Adds So to the
Price-copper Also Rises.
New York, Jan. 27.-Prices of pig
lead were advanced 50 a ton Saturday
by the American Smelling and Rein
ing Company and notices to this effect
were sent all over the United States.
In December last, as a result Of con-
f%erences between the leading lead pro-
ducers of Idaho and Utah and officials
of the American Smelling and Refining
Company, 1t was decided to reduce
prices and at the same time curtail
production. A harmonious working
arrangement was entered into by all
parties, the price of lead was cut and
the. surplus stock which had accumu-
lated was greatly lessened.
The demand among consumers con-
tinued strong, so much so, in fact, that
last week it was decided to advance
prices 50 a ton. The new list prices
will go into effect at ono
In Europe better trade conditions
also prevail. Higher prices went into
effect in England, France and Ger
many last week, the advance being So
a ton.
Monday Chairman Guggenheim Of
the smelling company will start IN n
trip of inspection over the various
plants of the company located in Colo
RADIO, Utah and Old Mexico.
The new price of lead will be on the
basis of Al cents a pounds, or an adj
vance of 10 cents per 100 pounds.
Producers of copper also report a bet
ter demand at present prices. Quota
tions, according to some authorities,
have been marked up Is cent a pound
during the last few days, to 11A cents,
the quotation established by the Unit
ed Metals Selling Company three
weeks ago. This price has been under
cut several times for lake copper, so
that II cents was the price generally
quoted.
A meeting of brass manufacturers
has been called for next week to take
action on the new price list. Since
copper has sold at IL cents brass goods
have not been marked down to a cor
responding level.

scHLEY AT CHICAGO.
Says That He Wants No More of Poll
ties-Warmly Welcomed.

Chicago, Jan. 26.-Rear Admiral w.
S. Schley yesterday thrice declared
that he had no intention Of entering pol
itics. His remarks were calculated to
set at rest for all time the political am
billions which some Of his admirers
have entertained for him. He said that
no office, however high, would tempt
him to jeopardize the love which the
people of this country have expressed
for him.
The day for the admiral was a round
Of receptions, at each of which he e1~
pressed his gratitude for tokens Of es-
TEEN and APPRECIATION.
The demonstrations reached their eli
max in the banquet given in his honor
by the Hamilton Club l%ast-night. APP
p~roximately $50 guests were present.
Admiral Schley arrived at $3.50 a. m,
and was greeted with a tumultuOus ac-
claim from thousands of people WAC
crowded the Baltimore & Ohio depyt
and thronged nearby streets for blocks.
His reception here was the elimination
Of the demonstrations IN his honor
which have occurred all along the route
from Washington.
"The trip has been ~uneVentful," said
the hero Of Santiago. ''But l have been
deeply moved by the demonstrations OF
the people along the route. You know
It 10 me so I can scarcely speak to
see the little hands waving at me from
the small depot platforms. / love the
little ones"
Mrs. Schley seemed to enjoy the DEM
onstratiOn even more than her dustin
guished husband.

Judge Benjamin S. Baker, the new
presiding judge of the Second Judicial
district, has appointed Captain w. sc.

clerk of the court of that district. Cap

b. f. Spencer has found rich copper
deposits in the Burro Hill district,
and has interested the Mccartney
Teaching Company of Denver in the
development of the proposition. Sew
enteen tons of ore from near the sur
face of ground was recently tested
in Denver by the teaching process,
and the first 400 pounds yielded five
pounds - copper, and gold and silver
in small quantities. The McCaffreys
have made a proposition to put up a
mill capable of handling twenty tons
every seventy minutes.
E. w. Brown, a wealthy stockman 4
Socorro county, is preparing to provide
against drouth, and will soon let the
contract to construct a mammoth reser-
voir near the San Andreas mountains,
about thirty-five miles from San Mar
cial. The proposed dam or reservoir
site encloses 600 acres, and water will
cover the ground to an average depth
of twenty-five feet, allowing for loss
from evaporation, seepage, etc. The
reservoir will supply sufficient water to
irrigate at least 10000 acres of fine ag-
ricultural land each year with twelve
inches Of water, besides furnishing
drinking water in abundance for the
cattle and sheep of the San Andreas
ranges. All the water from Grapevine
canon and the SHOWS of the mountain
, would drain into the reservoir, aud Of
ten during the rainy season the rainfall
is sufficient to fill the proposed dam in
fOrty-eight hours. w. w. Jones of San
Marcial has just completed a prelim-
mary survey of the big irrigation
scheme.
