Medicine in China.

From the North China Herald.
Much is heard in these days Of the
awakening of China, and undoubtedly
progress is being made In various direc-
tions. But medical science. as it is known
to the native practitioner. remains pretty
much. in the condition described In the
memoirs Of LIE Comte published in the
seventeenth century. For centuries medi-
cal knowledge has been at a standstil,
and the population has been at the mercy
of the ignorant charlatans who pass
themselves off as doctors. In spite of over
half a century of close contact with Eu-
ropeans the Chinese doctor of today re-
mains ignorant of the rudiments Of anat-
omy and physiology. and has the most
ludicrOus notion of the functions OF the
internal organs and the causes Of disease.

The aftermath of the Thanksgiving day
celebration was unusually light in the
Police Court this morning, and compare
lively few cases were disposed or by
either branch of the court.
In the United States branch Judge Kim

ducts a barber shop and shoe shop on

Jail for assault upon George w. Bell OF
No. 1113 Potomac avenue southeast. Ma
rino paid the fine and was released. 1t
appears that Marine threw Bell from a
chair in the shoe shop to the floor and
then threatened him with a revolver the
afternoon of November II. Judge KIM
ball recalled the fact that Marino had
been up before him some time ago on
the charge of chasing man out of his
shop with a razor.
The testimony in the case was conflict
ing. Bell and Frank kuhnert who en-
tered Marines shop together to get their
shoes shined, testified that they had
asked quietly for service; that Mrs. Ma

Claimed Self-Defense.
The colored boys employed in Marino' S
shop declared that Bell and his COM
panion had used profane language. which
caused Mrs. Marine and her husband to
interfere. MarinO took the stand in his
own defense and testified that he had
acted in self-defense, and that Bell and
his friend had created disturbance in
the shop.
Minnie Buttons an East Indian with

Later Judge Aukum freed Minnie, with

married at s o'clock last night at the
home of the brides parents on Coronado
sland.
The ceremony was performed by the
Rev. Willard B. Thorpe of the First Con-
gregatonal Church in this city. The bride
wore a travelling suit of gray, particularly
attractive in combination with her gor-
seous mass OF hair. The knot was tied in
a great bay window which was Shut off
from public view by a thick curtain of
green, sprinkled with roses and carna-
tons. Only few guests attended.
Among those present We're Miss Helene

law.
After the wedding supper Mr. and Mrs
Gage left for the east with the intention
of going by way of Denver and Chicago
to New York and Washington. They went
from the house to the midnight train in
an automobile.

MAYFLOWER CONSOLIDATED
ONE OF STATES BEST MINES

The Oldest working and furtherest de-
veloped property in the Pioneer section
i, that of the Mayfower Bullfrog Con
solidated Mining company. This estate
comprises the Maylower and the Star
light groups, at and along the south
westerly rim of the Pioneer crater
basin. the entire estate traversed by
parallel systems of massive outcropping
auartzite and brecciated rhyolite lodges,
with numerous cross assures. Part OF
this outcrop is through p%orphyry, part
through unaltered rhyolite. The May
flower mine workings proper are at the
lower, or southeasterly, end OF the
giant hill on which the major part of
the estate is located. The machinery
plant at the shaft is most complete,
comprising gasoline driven ten-driil
compressor and a 25-h. p. hoist which
so far has given ample service. The
present plans comprise Strengthening
out the incline shaft and a much larger
and faster hosting equipment. From
the collar of the shaft a car track runs
over a scaffolding to the rock crusher
in the top of the new mill, the ore
dumped in the bins there and crushed
and delivered to the five Hendy stamps
below as needed, the crushing being
done to about 40 mesh. From the
stamps the rock goes direct to the
amalgamation tanks, where a saving of
some IS per cent is being made, the
tailings then being pumped into the
six Bottom cyanide tanks for final treat
ment. The ore dumps hold enough rock
which will average $50 per ton to keep
the mill running for three months or
more, and in the mine itself enough ore
is blocked out on the 200, 900 and 400
foot levels to keep the mill running for
more than six months, this ore averag
ing better than $50 per ton. There is
much more ore in sight which will run

of all the world. 1t is in the outskirts
of the old Bullfrog mining district, a
district which, despite the really great
Montgomery Shoshone, the erratic but
rich Homestake, and the steady old
Keane Wonder, has fallen into disre-
pute in a way with the investing pub
lie. This fall from public favor on the
part of the Bullfrog district was due to
ii multiplicity of reasons. First, the
news flashed from the hillsides of Tono-
pah some eight years ago that the
southern part of Nevada contained gold
as well as silver, and in enormous
quantity in formations which the min
ing world had hitherto stumbled over
and pronounced worthless, created not
only men who were playing for the
people whom the late p. I. Barnum
played for, but it developed an enor-
nous class so dazzled by the prospect
of quick riches that they fairly threw
money into whatsoever scheme was
dropped in their path relating to mines
in Nevada. No wonder the existence
and the lu%xuriance Of the wildcatter
during those exciting years OF the open
ing of Tonopah, Goldfeld, Manhattan,
Round Mountain, Rhyolite, and a score
OF lesser camps. Second, this gold lust
put many men into the mining field who
were utterly ignorant Of the formations
with which they were now put IN con-
tact, and who in the aggregate spent
millions of dollars digging for metal,
honestly, but unintelligently and with
out results. Third, along with the pub
lie realization that a shamefully large
number of Nevada promotions were
fakes; that gold could not be had for
the blind digging therefor, came the
financial crash Of nearly two years
agone, and from enthusing over Nevada

PIONEER PROPERTIES WHICH

Gold Reef Estate Cut

lining and to the west of the Bullfrog
Mining Syndicate group, and bounded
on the west by the property of the
Mayfower Consolidated company. Vim
A. Otis is president of this company,
{. f. Titus, secretary and treasurer,
and the well known firm of II. A.
Reidel 4 Co. of Denver is also heavily
interested here and acting as the fiscal
agent for the company. There has been
.iriven into one of the low hills which
is on this property a 30O-foot
tunnel, with a view to gaining a
knowledge of the ledge systems. Sever
al ore channels, carrying low grade ore,
were cut.
Following the opening of the pheno-
menally rich ore shoot in the southerly
end of the workings of the Mayfower
Consolidated property a few weeks ago,
extensive and deep surface trenching
has been done, a trench which is IN

at right angles with the trend of the
Mayfower ledge. This trench is some
500 feet in length, and f. S. Giles, who
is experimenting the work on the prop
erty, is confident that he has found the
ore channel which at 800 feet in depth
in the Mayfower is giving ore worth
a dollar a pound. As the Mayfower
working shaft is near the extreme
southern end of the Mayfower estate,
the work which is being done on the

offerings of the queen of mining states
coldly and with suspicion.
Two years more have shown the public
that Nevada has some great and rich
mines. Goldfeld, Tonopah, Manhattan,
Round Mountain, Ely, Chafey, and a
score more camps have proved that, in
diligently and honestly mined, Nevada
still holds forth to the investor the
greatest opportunities of any mining
district in the world. Yet, remember
ing its bitter lesson, the public is slow
to act.
