PROGRESS IN SURGERY
MARKED BY OPERATION
EXCELLENT SUCCESS ATTENDS
DIFFICULT WORK
Doctor Says 1t Furnishes Example of
What May Be Done in the Future
in Examining the Vital Organs of
the Human Body
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 24-An operation
with an unusual feature was performed
yesterday at Roosevelt hospital. A
patient had been suffering for some
time with stone in the kidneys. The
exact loca ton of distractions of this
sort Is sometimes determined by the
X-ray before the etherization of the
patient.
The surgeon in charge of the case
decided to find the stone, which was
very small, by putting the organ to the
rays after taking it out of the body.
After being etherized the patient was
operated on and within a minute the
surgeon had the kidney out as far as
possible. He held it in his hand and
with the microscope found the small
stone. A moment later the stone was
removed and was inspected by the at
tending doctors. Within about seven
minutes after the first stroke of the
knife the kidney had been put back
in place and the lips or the slit in the
back sewn together. Fifteen minutes
later the patient was back in his room.
The same doctor said he did not see
why the liver. or some other vital or
gans, could not be examined in the
same thorough manner. The operation
seemed to MIN to presage splendid pos
sibilities in surgery.

From fellow workmen it was learned

Special to The Herald
RENO New. Jan. 24.-Prof. j. e.
Church has just returned from a per-
ilous trip to the summit of Mt. Rose
the highest mountain in this section OF
the country He made the ascent of
about 11,000 feet through storm and
blizzard, yet feels repaid for the ven
ture.
At an altitude of 5000 feet snowshoes
were necessary and the trip up was ex-
tremely dangerous, it being necessary
to dig caves for shelter during part OF
the storm.
From indications it would appear that
the water supply for this section will
be abundant. The exact amount of
precipitation cannot be determined, but
on the summit of the mountain, says
Prof. Church, enough snow sifted
through the aperture of the rain
gauge to produce a column of ice seven
and one-half inches high.
Prof. Church went alone and for a
time fears were expressed for his safe
ty, rs the heaviest storm of the season
broke over the mountain after he had
gone we'll UP it's slopes.

announcement made by the Carnegie
hero fund commission that no awards
will be made to persons claiming

that some of the Slocum heroes have

Gold medals were awarded only to
those who exhibited the highest de-
gree of heroism. Silver ones to those
less praiseworthy, and bronze ones
TO those of the third class.
The discovery that silver medals
had been plated with gold to make the
services of those who received them
more important in the eyes of the
trustees of the Carnegie fund, was
made by George A. Campsey, their spe-
cial investigating agent. He is now in
New York looking for heroes. Several
city employees, including policemen, are
said to have plated medals.

has been discovered. Amer has been
treasurer of the county ever since its
