YELLOW FEVER AND MOSQUITO
Relation Recognized by French West
Indian in 1853.

From the New York Sun.
At the time of the discovery of the
mosquitoes agency in breeding disease it
was not dreamed that far more than the
germ of the truth had been revealed
many years before. The truth was told
in 1883 in the obscure columns of the
Gaceta Official, published at the port OF
Camana. Venezuela, and a little later
In brief note or two that the discOverer
wrote to the Academy of Sciences in
Paris. 1t was buried in those pages and
forgotten. and has now been resurrected
by the Havana Cronica Medico and the
British Medical Journal. In May. 1853.
Louis Daniel Reauperthuy. a native of
Guadeloupe and health officer at Ca
mana wrote to the Gaceta Official that
for fourteen years he had made mi
croscopic study of the blood and secre-
tons in every type of fever and had dis
covered that yellow fever resulted from
the stings of several species Of mosqui-
toes. 1.-The mosquito plunges its pro-
boscis into the skin and Introduces a
poison which has properties akin to that
If snake venom. 1t softens the red
blood corpuscles. causes their rupture
and facilitates the mixing of the coloring
matter with the serum"
Beauperthpuy said a good word for the
much ma!igned swamp. whose reputa-
ton as a breeder of malaria and other
fevers was widespread. marshes do
not communicate to the air anything
more than humidity, and the small
amount OF hydrogen they give off does
not cause in man the slightest indispos!-
ton in equatorial and intertropical re-
gions renowned for their unhealthiness.
Nor is it the putrescence of the water
that makes 1t unhealthy. but the pres
| ence of mosquitoes" In one of his short
communications to the Paris Academy
| of Sciences, dated from Camana January
| 10, 1885, he wrote that as early as 1889 his
investigations in unhealthy locations in
South America had convinced him that
the so-called marsh fevers were due to
vegeto-animal virus "inoculated into man
| by mosquitoes"
Beauperthuy's facts and deductions
were SO remote from all the medical
teachings Of that day that they were
doubtless laughed at and promptly for
gotten. Probably the priority of his dis
| covery will now be acknowledged but il
might have been a pronounced blessing
% the world if scientific research had
been able in the middle of the last cen
fury to proceed along the lines suggested
by Beauperthuy's announcement

Horace Greeley's Home Life.
From the Philadelphia Telegraph.


Amos Cummings used to tell this story
about Horace Greeley: He always called
me .Asa'-never could remember Amos.
One day l went out to see Greeley at
Chappaqua about some newspaper bust
ness. The old gentleman saw me coming
as he stood looking out of the window
and opened the door himself. Come in

parlor. followed him into the room. and.
as I was only going to remain moment.
I laid my hat. gloves and cane upon a
center table.
Greeley and I had just immersed our
selves in talk when Mrs. Greeley swept
into the room. The moment she entered
the door her eyes fell Indignantly upon
my hat, gloves and stick on the table.
Without word she swooped on the out
fit like a f1shhawk and threw them out
of the window. Then she left the room
without pausing for speech, as one who
had taught somebody that the hall was
the place for hats and canes and similar
things.
II was inclined to get a trif1e warm.
but Greeley stretched out his hand in a
deprecatory way and cheered me with
the remark: Never mind her. Asa: she

Mohave County miner., 1908-08-22

The Golden Gem mill at Cerbat, was started up few days ago on a seventy-fve ton sample of ore from the Red Seal mine, acquired by the company two years ago. Should this sample lot give good milling results it is the intention of the company to make arrangements to work the ores from the property at this mill. At the Gem mine the company is un- watering below the 300 and expect to be ready to commence sinking by Monday next. Everything above the 300 level has been put in first class shape.
 Capt. I. c. Conkey came in from Mineral Park Thursday last to look after business matters, remaining over until today. He reports mining in the turquoise camp as very active, there being four companies operating there. MT. Wilson, who recently took bond on the mines of County Recorder Me Nicely, is shipping some fine gem stones to the lapidists

Artesian Water and Rich Ore.

T. J. Purdy, superintendent of the Yucca Cyanide M. & M. company, was in Kingman few days this week shaping up matters preparatory to leaving for his home in Sudbury, Pennsylvania.
 In speaking of the outlook at the San Francisco mine, owned by the above company, he stated that the mine never looked so well nor were the prospects of successful future for the property so bright as at present. r A contract has just been let to c. w. Miller to sink two hundred feet below the present level, which is now six hundred feet below the apex of the vein. It is thought that this lift will take the workings into proximity with the Colorado Grande dyke, which is the great ore maker of that region. In the bottom of the present workings and showing long distance in the floor of the drift, is streak of ore eight inches wide, running S00$ gold to the ton. In another part of the mine the vein is from four to six feet wide and carries values of 1908 to the ton in gold. This ore was recently struck and in the bottom of the drifts it looks more promising than in the stopes.
 But the most peculiar phenomenon encountered in this mine is the strike of artesian water made over year ago. At the time crosscut was be- ing driven on the 600 and a diamond drill was kept ahead of the drift as a precautionary measure. Some dis tance from the old vein the drill struck body of water that gushed from the drill hole with amazing velo- city. With difficulty the hole was plugged and later on pipe was driv- en into the hole and the water carried to the surface, perpendicular lift of more than 600 feet. This water has sustained pressure at the drill hole of ll5 pounds to the square inch all this time, although vast quantity of water has passed through to the surface during the year. Water for all milling purposes is obtained from this source and little garden has been also irrigated in the camp. Mr. Purdy believes that enough water can be obtained from this source to supply much greater plant than the one in use.
