Talked While Doctors
Operated on Skull

LYNN, Mass, Dec. 4.-Steven
Svaritisch. who was struck by steam
fan in the factory Of the Benz Kid Com
pany. astounded the physician at the
Lynn Hospital by regaining conscious
ness this morning, and conversing sane
ly with them while his brain lay ex-
posed under an extremely delicate
operation.
The blade Of the fan so injured his
skull that when he arrived at the hos
pital he was considered in a dying con-
dition, and his one chance lay in re-
moving a piece Of the skull two inches
wide and three inches long. Anes-
thetics were not administered. The sur
geons began the removal OF the bone
and had succeeded in exposing the brain
when the young man suddenly opened
his eyes and began to converse in a
perfectly coherent manner. He explain
ed that ne was struck by the fan, and
must have lain unconscious for two
hours before he was discovered.

COPPER MOUNTAIN ROAD
HOUSE MAN VISITS US

]. NJ. Peterson, of the Copper
Mountain roadhouse, paid us a Wis
1t on Thursday of this week, return
ing yesterday after looking after
some freight and supplies he had
to take out. The Copper Mountain
roadhouse is situated about three
miles from the famous Copper Noun
tain mines of E. F. Gray, or about
thirteen miles from mile LAG on the
railroad, and has already gained con-
siderable fame for its splendid &C
commodations. The house has been
built about a year and is run by
Peterson and Vaughn, the latter
owning the we'll known roadhouse at
Tiekhel on the Valdez-Fairbanks
trail. Those who have visited the
house at Copper Mountain claim nc
better service is found at any road
house in Alaska. They have first
class bar in connection and as d
Davis, the mail contractor and
freighter visits there regularly, there
is always everything at the place
needed for the entertainment OF
travellers.

John Hirst, better known as the

lunch counter in McCutcheon & Grit
fith's new place this week as soon
as the place is ready for business.
The nxtures and dishes, formerly
owned by the well known Lindig's
Kitchen, will be used at their coun-
ter, the chairs already being INSTALL
ed there. Mr.. McCutcheon left yes
terday to secure the rest of the fix
lures, as well as to attend to some
business connected with his own
firm. That these two caterers will
do well, goes without saying, and if
they are ready to open by the next
issue of the Leader, look for their
ad. They will have something to
say to you.

like he had enjoyed himself, and we
hope ne did, for Tom has been pretty
steady and deserved vacation.
Tom Parker and Billy Slimpert
pulled out this morning from mile
1913 with big outfit to go prospect
ing in and around Beaver Dam. Both
parties are we'll known and liked in
this section of Alaska and the best
OF luck is wished them by their

Roy Wilson, who went down Thurs
day to have a look at the quartz

OLD RUSSIAN COINS
FOUND ON G. r. & N. w.

The Russians were the first whites
that traded in and around the Cop
Fer River region. Once in while
one picks up evidences of their occu-
patton of Alaska. The latest find
bearing on the Russian occupation
was made at mile 81 on the c. r. 4
N. w. railway and again at Long
Lake. At mile 81 five kopeck cop
per coin was found, coined in the
reign of Peter the Great and bear
ing the date 1904. At Long Lake a
three kopeck piece was also picked
up near a small creek bed, dated
1878. Both coins were in fair state
of preservation and the lucky finder
refused an offer of $40 each.
