Dr.. D, P. Allen Practically

The LorenZ method OF surgery was

on exhibition the Wiliett child, who has
been operated upon so successfully by
the Austrian suIseon- The boy was
placed on a table thirty feet long. and

the other, demonstrating that his feet
are now almost perfect.
Commendation Almost Unanimous.

were also exhibJed for comparative
purposes. The case was explained in
full by DR.. Thompson. who is an ardent
champion Of the Lorenz method. An
informal discussion followed. which was
almost unanimously commendatory.
AS far as the WiIlett case was con-
c~rned there was no criticism what
ever, but an undercurrent of adverse
comment made itself apparent in the
speeches OF a small minority of the
members as to the Lorenz method gen.
orally.
II the expressed opinion of the greater
number be taken as the opinion of the
association, DIR. Lorenz's methods were
indorsed.

CRIPPLE CREEK ORES.
No Telling What the Earth There
Has Tucked Away.


The more the Cripple Creek district
is prospected and developed the more
the miners have reason to be surprised
at its wonderful wealth. Not only is
there an enormous amount of gold to
be found, but every now and then
some mineral supposed to be a stran-
ger to the district is disclosed.
Il is not often, yet occasionally sill
YER is discovered, and the same is
true of copper. Just the other day on
Copper Mountain, which is in the ex.
treme northern part Of the district
lead was encountered in the lower
workings OF a mine. What the pres.
ence Of this lead means is as yet a
matter Of conjecture, but 1t is some
thing novel in Cripple Creek.
From discoveries of this kind, al
though they may be but rarely made
the conclusion seems to be justified
that the district may change its char
acter at least in some localities and
ultimately, produce silver, copper and
lead under conditions not yet known
in that part of the State. It would
not follow that the value of the gold
output would decrease. for it is alto
gether possible that gold may be found
associated with silver or copper in
large quantities. The ore of the Com
stock, for instance, carried both gold
and silver, and its value was in part
due to each metal.-Denver Republi
