THE FRIEDMAN CURE

From the New York Heral,

From the New York Herald.
When every one was go anxious Tor
definite information this spring as to the
value Of the Friedman cure for tuber-
culosis the Herald insisted that only
careful observation of many patients over
q long period would furnish material for
a serious conclusion. We pointed out
that the disfavor in which the remedy
was held in Germany must be sufficient
grounds for the authorities to prevent any
such public exploitation of it in this coun-
try as might do harm.
Reports ave now been filed from near
~ every place where any large number
OF patients were treated and from official
observers of various kinds. All are agreed
in pronouncing unfavorably on the ''cure.'
The United States government inspectors,
the Canadian committee, the Rhode Is
land SanatCrium, as well as New York
physicians, saw no good effects. Most of
the observers think it even did harm in
many cases.
The impudent assurance that gave the
cure such notofiety cannot be properly

of being taken seriously enough now Tor

NORWAY ICE CROP.
Primitive Methods of Cutting and
Storing the Frozen Harvest,

From the Wide World Magazine.
The methods used to secure the ice har-
vest In Norway are very primitive. To
begin with, the Ice lake is cut I'D by
means of small plow drawn by a pony
Two long cuts, with a space of twenty six
inches between them, are made along
the lake. and then men armed with huge
saws cut the strip of ice thus separated
into blocks, each twenty-six inches
square.
The next step is to take the blocks Of
ice to the storehouses, at which the ice
ships can call. The first stage of the
journey is simple enough. The ice har-
vesters have already cut channel in the
lake. Could anything be easier than
pushing the blocks of ice along the chan
mel SO made? This argues, of course that
some of the blocks are first removed from
one end of the channel They are taken
to the head of slipway, from which
point they are in position for the final
journey overland.
These slipways remind one irresistibly
of the modern switchback railways. The
ice blocks are allowed to slide along a
set of very rough and ready wooden lines
hemmed in with wooden ratings so that
the ice blocks shall not slip away and be
lost. Some Of these slipways have to be
carried round corners and in order to
minimize the risk of blocks running off
the line a series of very primitive brakes
has been devised. At one point long
plank will be suspended over the track
in such way that It's center. bending by
its own weight nearly touches the rail-
The ice block passes under the plank and
its speed Is checked considerably when 1t
reaches the center Of the plank. but 1t is
not stopped entirely, and it goes on it's
journey at Il much slower speed. In spite
of the use Of these brakes. however, the
end of the journey is generally reached
very quickly, and means have to be de-
vised for stopping the blocks at conven-
lent places. One plan is to put some in
clined planks at the end Of the slipway
and a rough and ready kind of buffer"
made of & trunk of a tree, at the top OF
the planks. The ice blocks come rushing
down the slipway and up the planks. A
man standing at this point prevents the
blocks from slipping back onto The line
and. thus getting IN the way OF The on
coming train He then guides the ice
blocks 10 a Place Of safety from which
they are passed on to the storehouse by
the mere act of pushing them there

SKAGWAY MAY BENEFIT
 BY NEW TARIFF LAWS

That Skagway, and perhaps other cities of Alaska are to be benefited by the removal of the tariff on coal, is the prophecy of the Dawson News, which says:
 "The placing of coal on the free list may open a market in the lower Yu- kon country or at Skagway, the Cop per river country or the prospective White river copper region for the pro- ducts of Yukon's fine coal mines. One shipment of Yukon coal was made to Fairbanks this summer. Coal from this territory has been sent to White horse. and more may go that way un- der the incentive of the new laws.
 "In time wood pulp from the Yukon will be wanted on the Coast, and with the item now on the free list a larger market is afforded.
 "The placing of many food articles on the free list will be an encourage lilGHl lulo W lllNCl anu NOANAhuOuSAJ v thereafter for the miners in the Amer ican Shushanna and White river fields, and at American points be low Dawson, to buy Canadian prod ucts.
 "If a customs man be placed on the White river boundary by Uncle Sam this winter, he will find most Cana dian goods can cross duty free Tariff duties may fall off in the Alaska GUS toms receipts, but the miners will re- ceive the benefit, and the whole North land will be aided. When the pros pector is enabled to live at reduced cost more territory will be opened The development of frontier regions means prosperity and greater wealth for both countries"

SYNDICATE HAS OPTIONS
ON PLACER GROUND

A hint Of something big in a min
ing way in store for this district is
given by A. H. Gunnell, who for
some time past has been in cores
pondence with a group of eastern
capitalists regarding the acquisition
of a huge tract Of hitherto unworked
dredging ground on Fry's Gulch, ad-
joining the Osgood and Deep Gravel
mines This tract comprises about
$50 acres of agricultural and timber
land, and aside from its mineral
wealth is considered a good invest
ment. II is understood that either
by purchase or option this entire
basin has been negotiated by the
eastern people through Mr.. Gunnell,
who will personally supervise the
prospecting of the ground either by
drill or by shafts This ground has
been specifically prospected in past
years, but owing to the fact that the
best values lie next to the bedrock,
deep below the surface, it could not
be worked by the miner of small
means. That the values are there
was demonstrated back in the early
days when Chinese miners sunk a
shaft to bedrock and took out some
very rich dirt. As might be expect
ed from the Chinese style of mining,
the shaft soon caved in and no fur
ther effort was made to work the
ground.
Like the Deep Gravel and other
adjoining properties, this tract calls
for extensive and expensive develop
ment, either by dredge or shaft
