they pursne their operations with a
methodical lack of sentiment that even
the mice themselves could not fail to
admire if they knew what it was
about
The first operation connected with
cancer work is to implant in a healthy
mouse the living cells of cancer. This
is usually done by hypodermic
needle. The mouse TO be treated is
seized by the back of the neck, and,
with swift movement, the expert

From time to time mice with cancer
are treated with certain fluids, taken
from the bodies of other inoculated
mice, and occasionally mice with can

certain nice are injected beforehand
with these fluids, and then. when they
are given the cancer injection, IL has

DR.. Bashford, while showing me over

experimental cancer is common
Growth stops and tumors disappear.
BY following up Investigations indi-
Gated last year 1t has been possible to
protect mice from all the consequences
of inoculating them with cancer. This
has been done In four different ways
Protection may be conferred in 80 high
degree that whereas out of 100 ordi-

inoculation, in the protected mice no

diphtheria has rendered that once
dreadful plague practically harmless.
When we consider that the material
for cancer research is supplied entire
ly by mice, the human race owes the
mouse debt of the deepest gratitude.
If science is able to isolate cancer and
finally cure it through the agency of
the mouse, humanity should combine
to erect a statue to the genus Mouse.
We have statues to dogs and lions
why not to mice?
Mouse Alone Is Useful.
Strange to say, the mouse has proved
the only animal capable of serving in
the search for the cause and cure of
cancer Guinea pigs, rabbits, dogs,
kittens and all other animals so often
used in Investigations to discover a
remedy for deadly diseases have utter

which to day affects humanity.

THE new HALL RAILROAD.
Promoter Feels Confident That il is Now
a Sure 60 and will Be Constructed.

r. A. Hall came up from Denver Mon
day evening in the interest Of the Gilpin
4 Clear Creek District railway, which
he is promoting. The object OF the
gentleman's visit was to look up the
records Of ground through which the
proposed right of way will pass and to
attend to other business connected with
the project. In speaking to a gentle
man regarding the success he is meeting
with in placing bonds and interesting
capital, Mr.. Hall expressed himself as
being well satisfied. The most welcome
information he has given out since he
first started the work Of promoting the
railway proposition was during his stay
OF Tuesday when he told party that
unless some obstacle was thrown in his
way he hoped to have dirt flying in the
spring, as soon as the snow melted on
the hills. Mr.. Hall has not been east
since his visit here couple of weeks
ago with eastern parties whom he was
interesting in the new road.

The Pagan claim, owned by the Gun
nell company, and being operated under
lease by Wettstein, Fontaine & Co., is
holding out well and making a good
record. There are two shifts Of miners
at work day and night, and the output
is from ten to fifeen tons per day. When
this property is opened up sufficiently
the output will be largely increased and
several more miners will be employed.
1t is stated that another shaft will be
started from. the surface and that things
will be lively on this part OF Gunnell

Our young men nave energy,
they will eagerly take training
and they will bend themselves
vigorously to the various forms
of work They will acquire skill
and will put intelligence and
even art into their products. But
they have social pride.
A young Englishman told the
writer some of his experiences in
America. He was educated, but
reduced in finances. On reach
ing Denver he had to look Up a
| joblof work. So he graded down
rough places and laid brick. All
the laborers were white men, and
he felt that his social status was
not impaired. On r. a ching New
Orleans he found a different
state of affairs. The city was
busy putting in sewerage and
laying gas and water mains. but
the labor was done solely by ne
groes and dagoes; the English
man saw that he cou'd not labor
here and still be regarded as a
respectable white man.
A few years ago Gu national
legislature enacted a law re strict
ing and almost prohibiting Chi
nese immigration to the United
States. This was done in re-
sponse to the clamors of the peo-
pie of the Pacific states''where the
Chinese had become so numerous
as to seriously impede social and
industrial progress by reason of
the fact that they could compete
with the American laborer much
to the disadvantage of the latter.
Those people who are akin to
us in blood and language, in man
ners and customs, who are COM
pretending American institutions
and of approaching our true ma
tional spirit, should be given
generous welcome e whenever tl' y
choose to become citizens among
us. An absurdly selfish policy
on the part of those who sought
immediate gain, without even
ray of thought for their posterity,
brought the negro from Africa
to America. The same short
sighted policy nourished him and
cherished the institutionlof slav-
cry in our southern states which
ARE yet suffering under the bur-
| den imposed, and this condition
|of affairs has kept us at least one
century behind the northern and
eastern states. Are we of the
twentieth century going to repeat
that folly? Sh; IL we import la
borers from southern Europe
alien in blood, in manner, in Gus
toms, in langua re and inca a lie
of even remotely appreciatlng
our national idea?
The young lady says she will
marry the young man to reform
him. She feels so sure she can
mold his plastic nature to her
will. Have you dared converse
with her on this same topic ten
years later?
The writer believes in right
and justice, in the common sense
and Judgment of the truly Amer
lean people and their kindred, he
believes in'training our youth to
perform all kinds of labor, TO
perform it with the highest de-
gree of skill and with a just pride
in excellence, and then he be-
lieves in engaging that same
trainedAmerican to do our Amer
lean work.
The writer believes we haze
enough of European scum in
America already. He does not
believe in the importation of for
eign labor, but in training our
own people to do our own work,
putting intelligence and art into
their products, and then in pay
ing them with American dollars.
