college Is said TO have reioined the squad.
The poison squad" at the Hahnemann
college was formed very quietly. II
came into existence on March l and Is
under the direct supervision OF DR.. Ed
mund T. Nesbit. director OF the Herring
laboratory OF the college.
DR.. Nesblt called for volunteers from

unteered or these fourteen OF the most
perfect physically were chosen, eleven as
regular members of the squad and three
as alternates.
For thirty days the members OF the
SQUAD were given doses OF caffeine while
DR. Nesbit and his assistants made per-
sonal observations, taking the pulses and
temperature OF the members OF the squad
and making notes on their general ply
steal condition. was not until WITHIN

The caffeine was administered In so

squad drank The students did not know
when they were getting the caffeine.
There were no stated times for giving
IL in order TO keep the mind OF the
student free from worry in order that
the physical condition might not be
changed materially through the action OF
the brain.
Before joining the poison squad" each
student had TO sign "A release against any
action for damages against the college.
The laboratory was organized about
fifteen months ago with DR.. Nesbit as
director, and almost Immediately an eN-
haustive study was started To assertion
the destructive qualities OF caffeine as

The students continued to live at the
dormitories or at boarding houses, but
they were required TO take their meals

pital near the diet kitchen. Before each
meal the temperature was recorded, the
pulse and respiration were taken and The

 THE NEXT CAMP
Pay Streak on Fox GuIch Causes a Stampede to That
 Section

\ stampede was started from the lditarOd and other camps tu FOX gulch, in the InnokO district, where, il is reported, rich strike was made late in March. Fox gulch is about 7g miles down the lnnoko from Ophir, and 25 miles east of Smcl City. Fox cmplics into Cripple creek, which is a tributary of Graham creek; Gra- ham flows into Colorado and Col Orado into the Innoko.
 According to report brought in by Fred Anderson, who visited the scene of the new strike, pay averaging S2 to the foot was found on discovery claim, and on the claim below, the prospecting showed even better values. On the latter claim, the owners are re- ported to have cleaned up S52 from the bottoms of the two holes sunk.
 Good prospects also have been found on Graham, Cripple and FL dorado creeks, and the surface indications on Colorado lead in the belief that that stream also carries pay.
 Anderson, who is known as a reliable man, says thai he was on the ground and made a person. al examination of the pay streak. He says thatw hen the news of the strike leaked out, every man ir the lnnOkO diggings who could get away stampcdcd to Fox. He plans to return immediately, and many people arc preparing to s:arl out as soon as their inform ant hits the trail.-Fairbanks Times.

MUCH WORK 0N
 THE NENSBoY
Five Hundred Foot Drift Started to Give Air and Safety
 to Miners

Tunncling has been started on Inc l5-fOOL level of the Newsboy toward the head of Cleary creek The plan of the manager is to connect the NcwsbOy shaft with Inc McGillviray-FIsher shaft on i the NrwSbny extension, thus se- curing an air outlet, as well as adding to the safety of the un- dcrground workers of both mines. In the Newsboy, three crews arc being worked in the mine to sup ply ore for the stamps, as well as to hasten the uncuvcring of the orc body. One crew is stop ing from the 1i5-foOt level, an- other is tunneling toward the Clcary slope, while the third is busy sIoping from the 2I5-foot level.
 IL is believed that the distance between the two shafts is about 500 feet, so that at the present rate of driving, il will take some time before the shafts are con- necled. However, it is the plan of McGillviray & Fisher, as soon as they get their shaft on the ex- tension down to the i15-fOOt lev cl, to start a tunnel from their side as well.
 At present the lcssces on the extension are devOting all of their lime to tunneling at the 65-fooL level, in order to get as much orc as possible opened up before llc mill starts Co pound.

 NEXT SUNDAY
The Fats Aro Eating Plenty and the Loans Are Starving
 Themselves

The weather permitting the Leans and the Fats will play their game of ball on Sunday. Owing to the delay caused by the incle- ment weather of last Sunday and the week intervening since, a number of the Fats have fallen down ill weight to the Lean class, while a number of the Leans by being careless and attending we'd dingS and such have fattened in to the rUtund bunch, with the re- suit that the managers are eX- periencing considerable difficulty in sorting out their players. IL has also been decided that those who are too fat for any use will be impressed as umpireS, and those who have become too lean will be used as bats.
