THE BULLFROG IS JUMPING
IN FINE FORM AT PRESENT
WEST EXTENSION

Development at the West Extension
is proving this property to be one OF
the biggest milling propositions IN the
country. The main erosscut from the
15O-foot level is in 100 feet and ITO
feet of this distance is in milling ore
which will run, Superintendent L. +.
McGarry says, from $12 to s25 to the
ton. At the 190-foot point. laterals
we're started east and west. These are
now in Is and 80 feet respectively.
MILL FOR BEATTY
Charles r. Campbell and associates
will start to break ground tomorrow
morning for a 10-stamp custom mill at
Beatty. The first car of machinery was
shipped from Denver April %.
FLUoRINE Is A LIVE ONE
That the Bullfrog mining district is
big enough for another substantial
camp is fast being demonstrated In the
growth and popularity of the new town
of F1uorine, which is a creation OF
few weeks only. And in the develop
ment of this section another important
fact is being brought out, and that is
that the ore in the Bullfrog district Is
not all found in the rhyolite and por
phvry formation, and further that the
lime of the Bare mountains, which un
til a short time ago had been eonsid
cred in an ~unfavorable light, may pro
duce some of the best paying ore de
posts in the district.
wART-McvICKER-LYTLE
The pay streak at the Stewart-Mc
yicker-Lytle lease on Bullfrog Mining
is six inches in width, all of which Il
being sacked. Screenings from the en-
tire streak, sixteen inches, assayet
$500 to the ton. An assay of secon'
grade stuff went $50 a ton. Thirt,
sacks have been filed, two of the sack
containing specimen ore.
MADE SHIPMENT
A shipment of 1874 sacks of good or
was made Friday from the Lemle an'
Lockhart leases. 1t is expected tina
the ore will run high. The shipmen
has been saved from the working
within the past few weeks.

"sKULLCAP's" USE IN RABIES.

This Herb Is Said to Have Effected
Cures a Century Ago.
In view of the public interest In ny
drOphobia, certain physicians have sug-
gested that the attention of research
laboratories be called to an herb used
about century ago in the treatment
of this disease says the New York Post.
The herb is the scutellaria lateriaoria
whose common name is skullcap or
maddog herb.
In 1912, DIR. James Thatcher, a Massa-
chusetts physician. issued a book enu-
tied Observations on Hydrophobia,
produced by the bite Of a mad dog or
other rabid animal, with an examina-
ton Of the various theories and meth
DDS Of cure existing at the present day,
and an inquiry into the merit Of Spe-
cific Remedies Also Method of Treat
ment best adapted to the Brute Crea-
ton"
The book mentions many hydrophobia
nostrum cures such as 1.-The liver of the
mad dog broiled," Cray fish burnt
with twigs of bryony," the East India
Remedy" Sir George Cobb's Powder"
the "Pulvis Antilyssus" Of DR.. Mead,
the renowned "Omskirk Medicine" and
others that passed into disrepute.
Among them was "Crous' Remedy"
nostrum so celebrated as to have in
duced the New York Legislature, 1905,
to purchase the formula, for which it
paid $1,000; "Webb's Medicine; and
the Snake Stone" now known as the
Mad Stone"
Having the record of many cases in
which scutellaria was used with ap-
parent success, DR.. Thacher concluded
that the drug should be exhaustiyely
tested, and for several years afterward
it received much attention from the
medical profession. According to the
treatise issued recently by the Lloyd
brothers of Cincinnati, DIR. Lyman
Spalding read a paper in September,
1919. before the New York Historical
Society, in which he gave DR.. Van Der
veer. a New Jersey physician, credit for
being the first person, SO far as we
have been able to learn, who used Sou
tellaria as preventive of hydrophobia
from the bite of rahid animals"
It is said that DR.. Van Derveer treat
ed more than 400 persons, losing only
two cases. and says DR.. Spalding: DIR.
Van Derveer made more than 100 eX-
| periments on the antidotal powers Of
the skullcap, in each of which the rem
edy was given to a part of the bitten
animals, none Of which were afflicted
with hydrophobia but in every in
stance some of the animals which did
not take the skullcap died rabid."
DR.. Spalding summed up his testi-
mony by saying that the scutellaria had
been used by more than $50 persons,
bitten by animals believed to be rabid,
and in only three instances did symp-
| toms supposed to be hydrophobfa super
vene. lin two of them the symptoms
| disappeared on taking more freely OF
the medicine

FINISH TWINE PLANT
Legislature VIII Be Asked to Appro-
pirate Funds for Prison Factory.

An appropriation will be asked at the
next session OF the Legislature for OPP
Grating the Irvine factory in connection
with the State prison at Waupun, which
is rapidly nearing completion. This APP
preparation will be necessary to purchase
raw material for starting the plant as
soon as the machinery is installed. The
concrete and brick work for the new
building, which will be two stories in
height, 80 feet wide and 240 feet long,
will cost about $4,000. The factory will
employ from eighty to ninety prisoners,
of the $50 population. and will have a
capacity to turn out 100000 pounds of
product annually. The machinery will
be installed by the Watson Machine Com
pany of Patterson, \. j. 1t is planned
to interest the farmers of Wisconsin in
the growing of hemp. so that the entire
product manufactured will not have to
be purchased in Central America The
operation of the plant will be under the
direction of the State board of control.
At the regular March meeting each year
the price of the manufactured product
will be fixed and prior to the first of June
each year Irvine will be sold only to
farmers or actual consumers. The price
of the Irvine, it is figured, will be lower
than that sold by the Irvine trust.

Milk InspectiOn,

In speaking of milk inspection, Chief
Webster of the United States Dairy
Department, said 'Its purpose is to
protect the public against impure milk.
Such may come from several sources
First, In the case Of animals, we need
better inspection, for they may be
badly infected with tuberculosis and
still the disease would not be apparent
to the eye. Second the handlers of milk
need a closer inspection, and when
such persons have a contagious disease
they should not be allowed to handle
the milk or any of its products. Third,
there should be more sanitary inspec-
ton of buildings and equipment
Fourth, the laboratory inspection Is i'm
portant and should be placed in COM
petent hands. It is Of the utmost i'm
portance that the inspection work be
done by experienced and educated men.
Politics should not adulferate the milk
and is most detrimental to the accom-
plishing of the most good. The police
authority alone Is the least effective In
this work, for you can't make man
clean with club; he must be educated
However. it is best that the inspector
be clothed with police power. for there
are in some communities those who
will heed nothing but pure force The
police power makes the work more eff
fective In all cases, but is not always
necessary. The larger per cent Of the
milk sold in the smaller towns and
cities is not. perhaps. entirely objection
able. but is not quite right
Mr.. Webster would recommend that
all milk be pasteurized under official
control until some better means could
be found. High class milk or certified
milk is more or less costly TO produce,
and the price is much above what the
ma iority Of people can afford to pay.
and pasteurized milk can be sold at
reasonable price.
