GIVE SKIN TO PREVENT
THEIR BROTHERS. DEATH
Girls in Wales Prove HeroineS
to Save ChiId'S Life

CARDIFF, Wales, Oct. 1.-TWO
young girls named Madge and Dorothy
Brockington have willingly undergone
the ordeal of having portions of their
skin removed in order to save the arm
of their seven year-old brother Doug
las. The boy fell into a boiler, and was
terribly scalded before he was rescued
by his older sister Madge, who is sew
enteen years old. Eventually he began
to recover, but there was no renewal
of skin on his right arm, which had
been scalded from the shoulder to the
finger tips.
When Dr. Cumberlidge told the par
ents that the only chance of saving
the boys arm was by grating skin
on it, Madge at once exclaimed, He
shall have 1t from my body" She was
warned of the serious nature of the
self-sacrifice she contemplated, but she
replied HE is my dear little brother,
and it shall be DONE" She insisted on
being placed under chloroform without
delay, and large portions of skin were
taken from both her thighs and grated
on her brothers arm.
The operation was afterward re-
peated and proved successful, but it
was found that more skin. would be
needed Then Dorothy, who is thirteen
years old, and who knew the suffer-
ing her sister had undergone, gladly
volunteered to make a similar sacrifice,
and pieces of skin were taken from her
thighs on two occasions.
Even this did not suffice, but by this
time the boy had regained his strength,
and skin was removed from his own
thighs In order to complete the opera
ton. After being under treatment for
seventeen weeks he is now able to run
about and attend school. His sisters
were compelled to remain in bed for
fortnight, and will bear the scars of
the operation throughout their lives.
"I know very well what it meant"
said the elder girl, "but they are not
dishonorable scars, are they?"
Their fortitude was only equaled by
that of the little boy, who suffered in
tense pain. He fully realizes the extent
of his sisters self-sacrifice.

DISTRICT QUIET;
ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED
Operators Plan Erection of Mill
to Work Ore from Claims
in Large Area

The Altar district is rather quiet at
present according to letter received
yesterday from j. G. Westmorland of
the Southern Pacific at Nogales, but
there has been a large area 10 ated,
capital is going in gradually and it is
believed that the winter months viii
witness a period of wide activity.
Parts of Mr.. Westmorland's letter
follow:
Things in the Altar district are
rather quiet at the present time. A lot
of ground has been taken up and the
people are only waiting for their titlss
to begin breaking up the ground and
look for the precius stuff called gold.
AS soon as they do start to wolk it is
expected mere will be a big rush for
that part of Mexico. Mining all
through the state of Sonora is picking
up. Every once in a while you hear of
from one to three people locating some
good prperty."
Referring to claims he has located
Mr.. Westmorland writes:
1.-The beauty OF them is that they are
located only three miles from Calabas
from which place we can ship if neces-
sary and besides a 20-stamp mill is be-
ing put up just a mile and a half or
less from where we are located and the
fellow in charge of the mill guarantees
to put So a ton ore through his mill, at
a profit to the owners of the ore. We
are going to put four tons through as
soon as the mills start work, two tons
from each claim, and see what we get
from it. We are down about eight
feet in one of our claims, the one that
runs $28 and the vein still holds out and
is a little wider than from where we
started.
There is a little excitement here in
Nogales about mining since it has be-
come a we'll known fact that mill will
be put up

AND THE OIL FIELDS
FAIR To BOTH SIDES
SAYS .AGENCY'S HEAD
Agreement with Associated Will
Facilitate Handling of
Large Production

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 7.-When
seen in the city Immediately after the
signing of the new agreement between
the Independent Union agency and the
Associated Oil Company, L. p. st.
Clair, president of the producers body.
said that at last the agency had ar
rived at position wherein its mem
bers could partake of the full market
value of their oil.
"Our organization is entitled to the
average market price," said Mr.. st.
Clair, land from this time on we shall
obtain it. The arrangement entered
into between the agency and the Asso-
ciated is to my mind eminently fair to
both sides. We receive by the terms
of the contract all that we demanded,
and am led to believe that the man
agement of the Associated is entirely
satisfied with the contents of the COW
enant I consider the arrangement as
fair to that company as it Is to our
selves, which is the exact result sought
to be arrived at. Indeed, casual
reading of the contract might indicate
that the Associated has been favored,
but that is not the fact, as a close
examination will show. Much time
and labor have been bestowed upon
the details of the deal, and 1 feel
positively assured that we have
reached an understanding that Will
bring about the objects desired"
"What bearing will the new action
of the agency have upon outside pro-
ducers?" Mr.. st. Clair was asked.
THAT is a question which each must
decide FOR himself. One guess is as
good as another, but it should not be
forgotten that the Agency doors are
open for every producer who has yet
to bring in his first we'll"
Twill the doors ever be opened for
those who have production but who
have declined to join the agency"
II cannot speak for the agency on
that point" answered Mr.. st. Clair
because it has never been raised and
I have no means of ascertaining what
the probable action would be in the
event that the question should be put
to vote. The organization has con-
troll of all its own affairs, of course,
and can do as it likes about reopening
the doors. The agency has always
done what it conceived to be the right
and proper thing in It's own behalf and
in behalf of the whole industry. and
do not hesitate to assert that this line
of procedure will not be deviated

OIL STOCKS ADVANCE

The effect of the closing of the
Agency-Associated contract, assuring
a market for the oil which has been
stacking up in storage and clearing the
atmosphere in the oil industry gener-
ally, has been at once seen on stocks.
The Associated Oil stock and the S.
w B., a Spellacy stock, have shown
in a marked degree the effect of this
deal, the movement beginning befo e
the general public knew definitely of
the closing Of the contract or when
it was likely to be closed
1t is predicted that~the developments
of the last few days will soon be fol-
lowed by a phenomenal rise in values
of stocks, though to what extent this
will go, is now only guesswork.

MINERAL POINT MINE
ENCOUNTERS SULPHIDE
Strike Near Jerome Junction Is
Pronounced Most important
in the District

PRESCOTT Oct. 7.-What is gen
erallv regarded as a strike on the
rroperty of the Mineral Point Mining
company has been announced by ar
rivals from that camp, near Jerome
Junction, a two-foot body of sulphide
ore carrying good values in copper,
gold and silver being uncovered few
days ago in a crosscut on the 225-1oot
level.
This is considered the most impor-
tant determination ever made in the
mine, and coming since work was re-
sumed recently after a long suspen-
sion, is creating much interest. The
adjoining locations are also imbued
with the spirit to reach depth, and the
feeling prevails that the old district is
entering its most prosperous career
The additional statement was also
made that the new find is practically
on the roof of the zone where this
sulphide condition was in evidence,
and the plan of General Manager Max
Wenzel is to start Shaft at that
point to reach a depth Of at least 500
feet BY this exploitation he will be
permitted to gain AN exact idea Of
the extent of the ore body, and from
which definite calculations may be
made in the development of the
ground.
The Mineral Point property is To-
Gated in a district which has the char
aCteristics in formation of the Black
Hills and along the United Verde
ground. The company was the first to
start copper mining, and significant as
ii may seem, was also the first to
make successful exploitation.
At other points in that field some
very good showings in gold and silver
mines have been recorded in recent
wears. The district is favored with
railroad communication on the main
line of the S. F., p. & p, distant less
than eight miles, and with excellent
wagon roads leading to It,

NEWS OF THE MINES
STANDARD Is ANXIOUS
TO CLOSE CONTRACTS
WITH OIL OPERATORS

from whom the Standard OIL company
has been buying oil on daily runs are
reported to have received notices from
the company to the effect that they
will "have to hurry" II they wish to
contract their output. So far as could
be learned, no price has been mentioned.
This is the first public intimation the
Standard has given that 1t will make
quantity or time contracts since the an
nouncement was made several months
ago that oil would be taken on daily
runs only. The price offered on the
west side of late has been as low as so
cents and the company Is believed to
have been getting a great deal at that
price.

IN WHITTIER FIELD

WHITTIER, Oct. THE Murphy is
down 5000 feet on its No. 25 and 2S00
In No. 26, both of which it is drilling
quite a distance to the east of its
other work.
Further due north of this work on
the two small tracts belonging to Hon.
r. N. Bulla some shallow wells were
sunk two years ago by former owners
in which was obtained a first sand ca
pable of yielding a satisfactory oil, but
they were never pumped, owing to in
dustrial conditions at that time. There
is a sharp pitch in the formation here
which accounts for the depth to which
the Murphy has to drill. One of its
wells, however, is reported to be in the
oil sand.
It's No. 27 is just starting.

cHAPARRAL ACTIVE

PRESCOTT, Oct. John S. Jon-s,
the Chaparral mining operator, says
activity at various camps is continuing
with good results. He says the special
rate given by the Humboldt smelter on
ores of that district is well received
and through it production is en-
couraged materially.
He brought to the Bank of Arizona
a bar of gold bullion that weighed
$7S9 from a recent mill run of ores from
the Union mine, which was pro-
nounced the finest grade of gold re-
ceive1 in recent months by that bank
ing house.
Mr. Jones at the present time is OPP
Grating the property, ore of many he
owns in that favorable gold region.

STANDARD FEARS PEOPLE

SAN FRANCISCO, oct. THE Stan
dard is sending out letters to the pro-
ducers with whom 1t has contracts re-
questing them to notify the company
at once whether or not the land from
which the oil is being pumped is pat
ented.
This leads to the conclusion that the
company has fears that the govern
ment may one of these days step in
and demand reimbursement for the oil
that is being pumped from the lands
when the equity of possession is doubt
full In doing this the big company is
hurrying to fortify itself against such
POSSIBLE trouble.

SAYS GERMANS AND IRISH
PLAN TO STOP ALLIANCE

BERLIN, Oct. Herr Wilhelm Won
Massow, writing in the Kreuzzeitung,
asserts that Germans and Irish res1d-
ing in the United States are combin-
ing to prevent an Anglo-American al
lance. The writer takes no trouble
to conceal his pleasure at the various
indications of the growing success or
this anti-British transatlantic agita-
tion.
He refers to the recent combined
demonstrations Of Germans and Irish
at Cleveland, o., when 10000 persons
pledged themselves with the greatest
enthusiasm to oppose any Anglo
American alliance. Herr Massow eX-
presses the opinion that the Germans
and Irish together may exercise a far
reaching influence on the foreign pol
icy of the United States.

IDAHO DEPOSITS YIELD
5 PER CENT MONAZITE.
North and South Carolina Pro-
duCe Most of Thorium Used
in United States

Minerals containing thorium are in
constant demand for use in making
incandescent mantles for gas lamps,
but only one mineral that carries much
thorium-monazite-h thus far been
found in quantities large enough to
make it commercially valuable. Some
specimens of monazite contain as much
as 20 per cent of thorium, but the
thorium content of commercial mon
azite, which has been washed and
otherwise cleaned, ranges from to 8
per cent.
Practically all the monazite of com
merce is derived from placer or gravel
deposits, all attempts to extract it
from it's original rock matrix having
failed. The deposits are worked like
placers-by sluicing and hydraulickinG
and the crude monaZite sand OBJ
tanned is further cleaned on concen-
trating tables and by electromagnetic
machinery, which removes its iron con-
tent.
Brazil and the United States supply
the worlds demand for monazite, al
though the greater part of the output
of the United States is used in this
country. For many years North Caro-
lima and South Carolina have furnished
this supply, but important deposits
have been lately discovered at several
places in Idaho.
MONAZITE IN IDAHO
At one of these deposits, near Cen
terVille, Idaho, some trial mining has
been done. The gravels worked con-
tain both gold and monazite, and the
purpose of the experiments has been
to devise a method of recovering both.
Samples of the cleaned sand contain
nearly per cent of monazite.
The production of monazite concen-
trates in the United States in 1909 was
541 ,931 pounds valued at $65,032, an
increase of 119,2S5 pounds in quantity
and of Saba in value over 1908, when
the production was 422,646 pounds,
valued at $50,71S. The output was all
obtained from North Carolina and
South Carolina.
A report on the production of
monazite and zircon in 1909, prepared
by D. B. Sterrett, geologist, has just
been published by the United States
geological survey as an adpance chap
ter of the volume Mineral resources
of the United States, calendar year
1909"
The report gives statistics of produc-
tion, imports and exports, and con-
tains a paragraph on the production of
-zircon. A few notes by DR.. r. c. Wells,
chemist, of the survey, on the methods
employed by him in making chemical
analysis of monazite sands from Idaho
will be of technical interest.
The report may be obtained with
out charge by applying to the director
of the survey at Washington.
