Mr.. Bennett's Illness.

Nugget has been panied to learn that
the health Of j. j. Bennett, superin-
tendent at the DeLamar mines, is so
bad that Dr.. Farrer advised his being
taken to Boise for treatment. His
trouble is reported t. be with his heart
We hope for his own sake, as we'll as
that of his hosts of friends aud the com
pany employing him, that his trouble
may yield to good care and proper
treatment. Mr.. Bennett has been in
the employ of the company the greater
portion Of the time for the past sixteen
years. For nearly three years he has
been in charge of the company's mines,
taking charge when their production
was at its lowest ebb, and, by good
Judgment and knowledge of the proper
ty, increasing it lntil now good many
years more of increased production is
confidently expected. He has kept the
good will uf the men he has had under
bis employ and the confidence of the
management AID men over him. We
hope he will soon be able to return
But, while away, the oldest and one of
the most reliable men in the mines, Mr..
Alfred sotheren, will occupy his posi-
ton. Mr.. Sotheren ought to know, and
probably does know, every stope, vein
and intricacy of that very extensive
property.

Considerable work has been done on
the grading for the tramway between
the mine and mill. A new blacksmith
shop and timber framing shed has been
built at the mine dump, near the mouth
of the tunnel. Holes have been dug to
set the power line poles between the
Blaine mill and the transformer house,
set 100 feet west of the mill, the ground
graded for the transformer house and
the building partially completed. About
40 men are now employed in the mine
and on mill construction.
No. drift south in the mine is now
in over so feet in high grade ore similar
in character to that in No. l.
No. A diff north, where the ledge
measures 2I feet in width, is beiug con
tinued north, with several stringers Of
good ore showing in it. This drift is
now in Forth from the tunnel over $50
feet An upraise will be made to CON
meet it with No drift north, in about
five hundred feet and in good shoot
of ore.
No work is being done on No. north,
there being no track or car on that drift,
the ore when taken out will be dropped
down to No. 4.

THE BANNER.

The fine weather has enabled the
Banner people to make excellent pro-
gress on the work at the mill. The
high retaining wall between the lower
floor and the pan floor has been COM
pleted and the grading for the upper
portion is done. The concrete pillars
on the lower floor are all in place. The
concrete foundation for the batteries
has been begun. A road has been grad
ed to the Black Bart basalt dump on
Coffee gulch where material for the
concrete will be hauled from, and road
is being built to the upper side of the
millsite for the delivery OF the heavy
machinery soon expected to arrive. A
four-inch pipe is being laid from the
water tank on the hillside and water
will be turned into it from the ditch
for mixing concrete. Lumber for the

Twentieth Century Surgeons Merely
Treading in the Wake Of
the Ancients.


DR.. L. Manouvrier, the most famous
anthropologist in France, having OBJ
served and studied unmistakablt
marks on prehistoric skulls found il
the region of Paris, boldly declares
that the great twentieth century sur.
geon is merely treading in the wake
Of skilled practitioners who, withoui
anaesthetics or antiseptics, with blades
of flint instead of tempered steel, per.
formed 5000 or 1000 years ago opera,
tions requiring thorough knowledge
and consummate ability
''It is established beyond question:
said DR.. Manouvrier, that trepanning
even to-day delicate operation, was
not only known in prehistoric times
but was practiced far more extensively
than nowadays Before trepannine
surgeons must have known of Other
operations, the traces of which have
disappeared, like the wooden tools anc
arms which preceded stone. Amputa'
tions and bone setting required less
Imagination and certainly no more
skill than certain openings In skulls
whose perfection is simply amazing
Men able to do such work could not be
disconnected by small operations. AS
for dressing wounds, they must have
understood the art perfectly, for tire.
panning requires complicated dress
lugs.
