SAYS IT IS A GOLD BRICK

The Mining and Scientific Press seemingly does not think much of the Bonanza copper mines of the Guggen- helms That journal says:
 The Guggenheims control copper mine in the interior of Alaska, that s wonder in its way, yet which cannot be rated as more than third class property. This mine, the Bonanza, is a soft of copper plated gold brick, in that an interior core of limestone is sur rounded by phenomenally high grade bornite and copper glance. No com potent mining man who has visited this property ever has estimated the amount of ore developed, and safely inferred, as capable of yielding more than 1O0,000,O0O ID. of finished copper; total production equivalent to only one year s maximum output by any one of the six leading copper mines of the wrld. In order to get this ore out of wilderness, the Guggenheim interests have built the Copper River & North western railway, line of 195 miles length, variously estimated to have cost from $13,OOO,0O0 to $25,0OO,0O0 The gross value of all the copper con- tained in the Bonanza mine, taking the outside estimate of tonnage, is consid- erably less than the lowest estimate of cost of this railway, and the net profits derivable from the Bonanza mine, can not, by the most liberal figuring, be estimated at more than $4,000,000 To $5,000,000. Instead of being commend ed for their enterprise and courage in building this railway through an arctic wilderness, the Guggenheims are held up to public scorn as thieves and rob- bers. This railway cuts through work able beds of coal, but is prohibited by the Federal authorities, from develop ing or using this coal, and is compelled to import inferior coal from British Columbia, at a cost more than double that of domestic coal if it's mining were permitted. Not only does the railway suffer from this arbitrary ac- tion by the Federal government, but the 50,00O unfortunate American citi- zens who live in Alaska are compelled to pay double or triple the price they should pay for fuel, through the efforts to tsayet the coal for soma futura use, at an indefinite date.

ciple that he has more or less correct At Rake I visited "Old Susie, ,'' who was suffering from growth on her hip. Her husband seemed to have realized the necessity of surgical operation, and with an old jacknife had attempt ed to lance the swelling, making an int cision several inches in depth. In this particular case an incision may not have been necessary, but, having made it. the native "surgeon'' seemed to know that his work, to be successful, must include the principle of drainage. I found that with silver from the skunk cabbage he was keeping the wound open.
 Also at Rake 1 found an Indian woman suffering from a cak ed or sup purating breast. The native husband wished me to lance the breast, but this I was unwilling to do, and l left the woman after doing all that could be done, and after having been assured by her people that they would not at tempt lancing it themselves. On my return I found that the husband, later on the same night of my departure, with an old jacknife had made hor- izontal slash, permanently severing and rendering useless the lacteal glands. Can one seek long for an explanation of why this woman was the mother of nine children, of whom only two were ivingf
 A further instance of the need of medical instruction which came to my attention is that of native who was shot through the foot. Utter lack of knowledge how to dress the wound or care for it; in fact an utter failure to care for the wound, resulted in the death of the native.

FERING FROM RABIES.

Pierre, S. D.-The question OF
"rabies" is becoming one of more
or less concern in this section. Two
people, a small boy and a girl from
this city have ben in the past three
weeks taken to eastern institutes
for treatment from bites of suppos-
eddy rabid dogs, and yesterday Miss
Mintz of Fort Pierre was bitten and
left for Chicago for treatment. On
account of the situation a number of
dogs are being killed, and general
muzzling orders are out in regard to
dogs which are allowed. to run at
large. Owners of dogs along the
Missouri say that 1t is not uncommon
for a coyote to go rabid, and when in
that condition will attack any dog
which it may meet, and whatever the
record of the dog as a wolf killer un-
der ordinary conditions, he will not
ever attempt to defend himself in
such cases, but will do everything
possible to get out of the way of the
coyote, and the presumption is that
in the cases of rabid dogs which have
been noted, the trouble started from
some Of these wolves.

THREE GIRLS BADLY
BURNED WITH OIL
POUR KEROSENE ON FIRE AND
EXPLOSION INJURIES THEM
AND SETS THE HOUSE ON
FIRE.

Springfield, S. D.-The injury to
four little girls, 8 burned SO badly
that their recovery is doubtful and
"a financial loss of about $500 to the
home of George Dawes of this city is
the result of pouring kerosene on a
fire into the cook stove about which
the children were enjoying a taffy-
pull. .
The accident occurred about 4
O'Clock in the afternoon. Two of the
little girls are daughters of Mr.. and
Mrs. Dawes, aged four and fourteen
respectively. Playing with them was
the 6-year-old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Ross Crowley and the 4-year-
old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Will
lam Brown.
Attending physicians state that it
is not thought possible that the two
Dawes children and the little Brown
girl can recover, but the little Crow
ley girl is not seriously burned.
The children were having a merry
time in the kitchen of the home pre-
pairing for the making of molasses
candy. The fire was not burning
we'll, and in an effort to get more
heat under the kettle coal oil was
turned onto the hot Goals. A terrific
explosion followed.
The children hurried from the
house, thus saving their lives for the
time. Fire followed the explosion
and the damage to the house will be
in the neighborhood of $500.
