Free Doctors IN Germany.

Under an insurance law enacted in
Germany several years ago, 3o,0oo,0oo
people receive in return for ominal
sum free medical attendance. The the
ory was that suffering humanity would
receive cheap and effective relief from
its bodily ills, but in practice there are
many drawbacks. The doctors hired
by the state hold that they are expect
ed to do too much for the pay they get.
In Munich they get only about SIS per
annum. In order to keep down ex-
penses the doctors are inclined to i'm
press upon the patients that nothing
is the trouble with them.

why Girls Can't Throw.

"A London physician, having made a
ong and careful scientific investigation
of a girls inability to throw stone
as boy does, says that it is due to the
physical conformation ef her shoulder.
A boy throws with a free movement of
the arm that is not possible with a
girl, because her collarbone is larger
and sets lower than the boys. The
girl may excel in sports where this ac-
ton is not required, but she can never
learn to throw like boy.

HEALTH CONDITIONS.
Executive Committee Receives
Report on Sanitation.

The executive committee of the
Citizens Association held a meeting
on last Wednesday evening. The
ques ton of the riot against the Chi
nese again came up for discussion,
and the disposition seemed to be to
have the offenders severely dealt
with in order to secure the future
peace of the town. The committee
sought to retain Key Pittman to
assist in the prosecution of the riot
ers, but Mr.. Pittman declined, de-
claring that as the county commits
sioners had already engaged Patsy
Bowler for this purpose, the case, in
his estimation, did not warrant the
employment of three attorneys. The
committee also received the report
of the health officers, Henry Manou
and James Sullivan, appointed at a
previous meeting Of the general com
mittee. The health officers con
demned, as menace to public safety,
the condition of a number of yards.
and further stated that every press.
ure to correct these evils would be
brought to bear. They recommend
the substitution of metal garbage
cans for the wooden waste recepta.
Giles now in use.

TON0PAH BONANZA.
ALASKAN AWARD.
United States Wins out On Al
most Every Point.

An Associated Press dispatch Of
the 10Th from Washington says Sec
rotary Hay has received cablegram
from John w. Foster, of American
counsel before the Alaskan boundary
commission, fixing the details OF the
award. The cablegram states that
the contention of the United States
has been granted on almost every
point.
One of the most important acquisi-
tions is the confirmation of the Amer
lean title to the White and ChilkOot
Passes, the only practical available
entrance to the Klondike country
from the head of the inland waterway,
the former of which stands the
Canadian custom house, which must
now give way to American control.
The northern boundary stands eX-
actly as it was claimed by the Amer
leans thirty years ago.
What Mr.. Foster cables touching
the Portland canal, goes to diminish
the Importance of even that slight
Canadian victory, for he confirms the
London report to the effect that free
navigation of that waterway on the
western side with full control of the
west shore is retained by the United
States, while the loss of Pearse and
Wales island from the extreme Amer
ican claim is partially met by con
tirmation to the title of two other
islands at the mouth of the canal
which from a military point of view
dominate the proposed terminus of
the canal

MINERS OF GRANDPA
FORM NEW DISTRICT
Work on The Combination Group Will
Start Up Next Week.

Last Tuesday evenings meeting of
the miners in what has commonly
known as the Grandpa district, about
thirty miles south of here, resulted
in the organizatio of the Goldtield
district and the location of new
townsite. which has also been named
GoldGeld.
About forty miners participated
in the proceedings, Judge r. L. Johns
presiding. A. d. Myers was elected
president of the district and M.
Smith was given the Office of record
err. Messrs. Myers, Murphy and
Crook were appointed committee
on rules and were instructed to re-
port at the next meeting, which will
assemble at the presidents call.
The Goldfeld district is ten miles
square and the boundaries, calculated
from Rabbit springs, run five miles
north, five miles south, two miles
east and eight miles west.
The townsite has also been care
fully surveyed and the work of sub
shutting houses for the tents now
used in the district will shortly begin.
1t is the unothcially declared intention
Of several Tonopah firms to open
branches at Goldfeld, and a regular
line of stages between that point and
Tonopah is regarded as an early pos
sibiIity.
Among the various measures adopt
ed by the miners meeting at Goldfeld
was a resolution to the effect that
each mine worker should receive 81 for
every eight hours work. The ques-
ton of the recorders fees was also
discussed and finally fixed at 81
FIRST PAYMENT TO BE MADE.
On Monday next the owners of the
Combination group OF claims at Grand
pa will receive the first payment of
the SO, 900 which L. L. Patrick and
his eastern associates pay for the
property. The balance will be paid
at stated periods during the next
twelve months. The sellers of the
property, as sta ted before, are James
H. Forman, Harry Ramsay, A. D.
Myers, 7. D. Murphy, W. S. Elliott
and Uri B. Curtis. The group con
sists of ten claims, the principal ones
being the Combination Nos. !, and
3. These three are extensions of each
other and through them two parallel
Lodges, about twenty feet apart, out
crops at intervals nearly the entire
distance. Wherever the outcrops oc-
cur gold is found, but the best pros
poets have been obtained in forty
five foot tunnel which cuts the two
veins at depth OF about twenty five
feet AT this point No. ledge shows
a width of twelve feet, and sample
assays give average returns of $40
to the ton No, 2 ledge is eight feet
wide, four feet of which give returns
of from $3.50 to $44, and the balance
gives average values of $45.
Mr.. Patrick expects to begin work
on the property next week, and will
start in with a force of six men, as
many as can be conveniently employed
at present. 1t is bis purpose to ship
the ore to Reno for treatment and
the first carload will be made up of
the one already taken out and now
lying on the dump Regular ship
ments will thereafter be made till
such time as the property is suffi-
GENTLY opened up to justify the cree
ton of mill.

marching down the hill to the sunset

of the grim reaper, and SOON the "old

"old time southern darkey' will have
become things of the past and she
places they knew will know them no
more forever, and the world will
never see their like again. And wide
