SHOWS A BIG GAIN
Kenosha Harbor is Beginning to
Assume It's Old Time
Supremacy.
REPORTS ARE ENCOURAGING

The deputy collector of customs has
prepared his government report for
the months of August and September
and it is exceedingly gratifying to
the men who have been taking an
interest in the Kenosha harbor. The
report shows that Kenosha is again
being placed on the map as lake
port. For years the amount of lake
shipping business has shown a steady
decrease, and on account of this fact
the expenditure of government money
on the harbor has been cut down to
the smallest possible amount. How
ever, 1904 will bring the Kenosha
harbor before the government again,
and the business done will be many
times as great IS that of the preced-
ing year.
During the month of August
of this year the number of vessels
entering and clearing from this port
was 40 and the tonnage amounted to
10, 238 tons. In the same month of
the preceding year the tonnage
of the port amounted to but 4, 100 tons.
While the increase has in a way been
attributed to the fact that the steamer
runs into the harbor daily, the tom
mage from other boats is more than
twice that of last year.
The tonnage for September this
year was 1874, and last year it was
but 2,237, showing that the traffic for
the present year was nearly six times
as large.
The Kenosha season will not close.
with the first Of October, as In other
years, but it is expected that the
tonnage for October will be nearly as
great as the total tonnage for 1908.
Many boats are now leaving other
ports for Kenosha. Most of them are
laden with coal, but it is expected
that several boats laden with tanbark
and lumber will touch this port before
the season ends.

Skin From Six Frogs Is Grated
Onto the Foot of Mat Berries,
Who Fell Under Train.
FOOT WILL NOW BE SAVED
DIR. William Farr Performs a Unique
Foot for the Injured Boy.

DR.. William M. Farr has just per-
formed unique operation in skin
grating and as a result of it Mat
Berries, who was terribly injured by
having his foot caught under the
wheels of railway train, will not
have to submit to an operation for the
amputation of the foot. Six bull frogs
ca ptured in the lakes about the county
furnished the skin which was grated
onto the foot of Berries and he is now
on the high way to recovery.
Berries was injured several weeks
ago by falling under the wheels of a
Northwestern passenger train. One
of his feet was terribly mang1ed and
it was so terribly bruised that for a
time it was thought that it would
have to be amputated. The flesh was
laid bare over one entire side of the
foot and thirty or forty inches of skin
was needed to cover the flesh. The
boy was in danger of dying from
blood poisoning. DR.. Farr had been
treating the case and he decided that
| in order to save the life of the boy it
would be necessary for new skin to be
grated on the foot. The proposition
of having the friends of the boy give
up so large an amount of their skin
seemed to be an impossible one and
the doctor began to consider other
means of securing the cutic1e needed
to heal the great wound. It has been
known to physicians for some time
that the skin of the frog can be
grated successfully on a human be-
! ing and as last resort DR.. Farr de-
cided to give this theory trial. He
secured six of the largest bull frogs
that could be found in the county and
removed the skin from their bellies
and placed it upon the wound on the
foot of the boy. Other physicians in
the city were notified of the unique
experiment and they watched the
progress of the case with a great deal
of interest. The skin from the frogs
took immediate hold on the foot of the
boy and within a short time after the
operation had been performed the
wound began to heal. 1t is now
declared that the boy is out of dan
ger. The skin of the frogs seems
to have taken the nourishment prop
er1y and the foot now is almost we'll.
The skin of the frogs still maintains
it's color but it seems to be in a per-
fect1y hea1thfu1 condition.
Berries will probably bear through
life the skin of the frogs which we're
sacrificed to save his life, although
the physicians believe that after
years the skin of the human will sup
plant that of the frogs and Berres will
bear no mark of the strange expert
ment by which his life and foot were
saved.

]. A. Walton, Claiming Kenosha
as His Home, Is in the Tolls
in Chicago for Burglary.
MAY ALSO BE WANTED HERE
When Arrested Man Had Two Watches
and Police Believe That they Were
Stolen at Silver Lake.

Chief Reino1d has received letter
from the chief of police in Chicago
stating that J. A. Walton, claiming
Kenosha as his home, has been ar
rested in Chicago on charge of burg
larry, and he is now being held at the
central police station there, pending
an investigation of his record. It is
supposed that the name 'Wa1ton'' is
an assumed one and that the Kenosha
officials are now seeking to identify
the man. At the time of his arrest he
had in his possession two watches
which it is alleged had been stolen in
this county. Some time ago it was
reported that two watches had been
stolen at the village of Silver Lake
and it is thought possible that Walton
was the man that had been working
in that neighborhood. For three
weeks during the month of August a
number of petty burg1aries were COM
n1itted in the town of Salem, and it
was impossible for the sheriff's depu-
ties to find any trace of the men who
did the work.
Houses were entered during the
absence of the owners and many
small articles of jewelry and small
sums of money taken, but the thieves
always managed to get away with
their booty.
When arrested in Chicago, the man
who gave his name as Walton stated
that he had been working on farms in
Kenosha county during the past few
weeks, and that he had planned to
return to Silver Lake as soon as he
could get out of jail.
Chief Reinold is of the opinion that
it is possible that Walton is man
badly wanted in Kenosha, and the
Chicago officers will be asked to hold
him until his record can be fully in
vestigated.
Walton was not guilty of any crime
but disorderly conduct in Chicago,
but the finding of the watches in his
pockets led the Chicago officials to
suspect that he might be wanted in
some other city and they notified the
Kenosha officials of his arrest.

How About This.

A political prophet at Raymond
has put forth a very weird predic-
ton, says the Atlanta Constitution.
The Raymond see says that the
Parker aud Davis ticket will be
elected, but Vice-President Davis
will die of exhaustion during the
Inauguration ceremonies, and that
OH the morning of June II, 1906, at
8:s2 O'Clock, President Parker will
be at his home at Esopus, and will
dive into the Hudson river and
never come up again. John Sharp
Williams, who is slated for Secre-
tary of State, will then succeed to
the presidency.

G0lcOnda Will Boom.

Without the employ ment of a
drop of water and with one-eighth
of one horse power in the applica-
ton of static electricity, Otto Stall
man, general manager of the Glas-
cow and Western works at Golcon-
Ia, is saving ga per cent OF the
metal contained in the copper bear
ing sulphides Of which the COM
pany's lodges are productive, says
the Salt Lake Tribune. For some
time the management has been try
ing out what is known as the Blake
electric separator, and when he
withdrew on Saturday last the test
ings had been reduced to two tenths
Of one per cent copper, with result
that a battery Of sixteen machines,
each capable of reducing fifteen
tons daily, will be Immediately in
stalled. Commenting On the method
Mr.. Stallman, than whom there are
none more eminent as a lmetallur-
gist, said it is without exception
he most efficient with which he
has ever dealt. Immediately after
the entire battery of separators, with
perfect concentration, shall have
been installed, the company's smell
ter at Golconda will be put i'll COM
mission again, with the production
of pig copper soon to follow. While
it has incurred much patient effort
Manager Stallman feels that the
metallurgy of the company's under
taking i'll Nevada has been mas
tered and that the days of its reim-
bursement are rapidly approaching.
This is good news for Goiconda.
1t will mean the employment of
many men in that vicinity. There
has been a large body of copper ore
developed in that vicinity, but SO
far they have moi been able to save
it. If this new method is success
full and they produce and treat 200
to roo tons a day Golconda will
again become a busy place.

Caught a Flood.

Tonopah was completely isolated
from the outside world for a few
days the past week, Provisions ran
low and a famine of horse feed ex-
perienced. Since last Sunday morn
ing rain i'll torrents was pouring
down. The hills were veritable
waterfalls, and Tonopah has suf-
fered the brunt of it all. Stores
have been flooded, water poured
through the streets to a depth of
two feet and great damage will re-
suit.
The railroad in four different
places and for a distance of over
1000 feet has been washed out, the
public roads are gone and try as
they may it will be impossible to
restore the damage for four days al
least. This is the greatest storm
that has ever visited Southern Ne
vada.

Producing Iron Gre.

A dispatch from Washington
states that the report of John Biz
kinbine to the Geological survey on
the production of iron ores in 1903
shows that the United States has
surpassed all competitors in the
yearly output of iron ores. 1t says
that the quantity of iron ore pro-
duced in the United States in 1908
was 55,o11, 2o8 long tons, decrease
$40, o9S long tons from 1902. The
quantity mined in 1908, however,
was the second largest recorded,
and is greater than the combined
totals for the year of 1902 Of Ger
many, Luxembourg and the British
Empire, which are the nearest COM
petitors of the United States.
Nevada was added this year to
the list of producing states, while
Vermont and Montana reported no
ore mined in 1903.
