was able to salt the samples so that
they represented a value of 81 per
ton. The second party was met by
another Of the owners and the same
scheme successfully worked. The
samples checked nicely.
Wishing to make assurance dOubly
sure, the purchasers sent out third
party, but the engineer in charge of
that one would have nothing to do
with the owners and required them to
turn the mine over to him and leave
the island. He took two or three
tons of samples and the lot, in large
sacks, was brought to juneau and re-
manned on the wharf for several
days while awaiting for a San Fran
cisco boat, in charge of a Waterman
night and day.
wharf three fellows dressed as tray
elers or tourists, with their little
dude canes, Strolling around would
come to these sacks, ask the watch
man a lot of foolish questions about
them, and all the time thew would be
stabbing and punching the sack with
their dude canes, which were loaded
with chloride of gold. This was re-
peated several times, each time
changing the disguise. 1t was so well
done that the third engineers report
was satisfactory and the schemers
received their first payment, all that
they expected.
About fifteen years ago a property
on Signal hill, Cripple Creek, within
less than a mile from the town, was
sailed by using Chloride of gold in a
shotgun, shooting it into the breasts
of the drifts and bottoms of the shaft
1t was so we'll done that the swind-
lers received the first payment
amounting to 100000.

ATHLETIC HEART
THEORY WRONG
German Professor Says All Sports
Affect the Body Alike

Prof. Albert Albu, Germany's great
est authority on nutrition and on the
hygiene OF sport, has published
pamphlet which upsets many current
notions as to the physiological effects
OF games, training and overexertion.
He laughs at most accept ideas and
sets up new sport theory OF his own,
the main point OF which is that a man
is either tit or unfit for sport, and that
in the first case it is immaterial what
sport he chooses.
All sports which require strained
bodily exertion affect the body, says
Prof. Albu, in the same way. The sup
posed physiological difference between
quick, brief and violent games and
slow games with sustained bodily
strain, does not exist The effect upon
heart and kidneys is identical; and 1t
is a mistake to think that the heart
is affected by the first and not by the
second. The organ which is affected
is the brain. Violent sports which in
volve overheating have dangers for
no more dangers than has slow, heavy
exertion. The hearts of long-dis-
lance walker and of a football player
undergo the same strains and risks.
Laymen's View Exaggerated.
Laymen, says Albu, exaggerate the
heart There is no such thing as an
athletes heart. BY athletes heart"
is meant heart hypertrophied or
otherwise typically affected by over
exertiou. All exertion affects the
hearts functioning in a particular
way. Whether a man plays game
violently for five minutes or eXerts
himself heavily for five hours, his
heart functions in the same way. AS
long as the exerton lasts, the heart
has to pump into the arteries from
three to five times the normal guam
tity of blood. This means an increase
OF pressure in the blood vessels until
the hearts muscles through overexer-
ton suffer a kind OF temporary par
alysis.
But frequent repettions OF this ov-
ertion do not produce any chronic
heart abnormality which doctor can
recognize as an athletes heart. DR..
Albu has proved this by examination.
In some cases he found that the heart
had decreased in SIZE in some, it had
increased and in others there was no
change in it's size. Hence games and
athletics II they affect the heart at all
affect 1t in different ways. but there
can be no question OF "A particular di-
agnozable kind of athletes heart"
This conclusion is packed by the South
German doctor, Maltzahn, who says he
has examined the hearts OF 20 foot
ballers, hockey players and long-dis-
lance walkers and runners, and found
nothing that can be traced distinctly
to sport eIertion."
Albu says that from the hygienic
standpoint the choice OF games and
sports is immaterial. A game affects
q mans health not because Of it's
nature. but because OF his nature
The vital questions are the players
age, his bodily constitution and power
of resistance. finally the question Of
his training. II man is all right in
these respects he can choose what
sport he likes.

JAKE M0AKLEY
May Be COACH
Looked Upon as Best Man to Train
the U. S. Olympic Team

New York Aug. 19.-Who will he
the coach OF Americas Olympic team
at Berlin in 1915 to succeed the late
Mike Murphy? II is still nearly two
years before the American Olympic
committee will make selection yet.
signs point to Jack Moakley Of Cornell
as that man.
Murphy himself always was a wizard
in the development OF athletics and he
unconsciously recognized in Moakley a
man who had much OF his own intui-
ton in judging and developing men.
Shortly before he died, Murphy, in
commenting upon the success OF
Moakley, his keenest rival, remarked,
with characteristic generosity:
You have to give him credit for de-
Veloping men. When he loses one
champion he brings out another to
take his place"
With Murphy gone, Moakley looms
up as one of the biggest figures i'm the
world OF track and field coaches. He
has many rivals, but few have achiev-
ed his success. There are some prom
Using men among the younger coaches
like Harry Hillman OF Dartmouth,
Geo. Orton of Pennsylvania and Steve
Farrell OF Michigan, who will improve
steadily and who might be able to
handle this job, but none of them has
had the experience OF Moakley.
There are several points OF resent
blance between Moakley and Murphy
Like Murphy, Moakley IL a slight man
physically, now SO years Of age. Also
both come from the vicinity of Boston,
where they made their athletic careers.
