EXTRACTED
FROM MANS HEART

BERLIN. Sept. 26.-The opening
tracing a bullet is reported by Prof.
-Freund and DIR. Casperson in the
current number of the Munich Med
ical Weekly. The patient was a sol
der who had recovered from a bui-
let wound through the liver. Upon
X ray examination preceding his dis
charge from the hospital a foreign
object was discerned in the heart.
1t moved spontaneously with the
hearts pulsations and the physi-
clans decided that it was a shrapnel
bullet.
To prevent possible dangerous
complications it was determined to
remove the bullet. The breast was
opened, the pericardium slit suffi-
GENTLY to permit the heart to he
brought forward. a quick incision
was made in the right ventricle ard
the bullet Immediately found and re-
moved. Much blood was lost, but
the bleeding stopped after prompt
stitching, and the patient made a
complete recovery.
The bullet, which weighed IL
grams. had taken a most erratlc
and extraordinary course. 1t struck
the soldier on the left shoulder from
above. as he was storming forward,
:rflicting but a flesh wound. 1t
passed down and diagonally across
the body, barely marking the skin,
was DETECTED by a cartridge box and
entered the liver, passing com
pletely through it into the vena a
one of the two trunk veins that emp
ty into the heart. The blood stream
conveyed it thence into the right
vehtricle of the heart.

PRINCE CON-. MINING
u 1900 TONS MONTH
COMPANY Is SHIPPING LARGER
OUTPUT AND ADDING TO
ORE RESERVES

The Prince Consolidated Mining
company, the property of which Is
located near Phoebe. New. has recent
ly increased it's shipments until at
present it is sending 10000 tons of
iron ore 10 the management. The
increased tonnage being produced
amounts to about rs tons per day.
The costs of mining and loading the
ore have been reduced until it is
now below 1925 per ton.
No attempt. is being made by the
company to mine more ore than is
being taken out by development work
at present outlined, and for each ton
of ore mined a considerable tonnage
is left standing, which is to be min
ed and shipped at some future date.
The ore occurs in bedding planes in
the limestone formation, and what
ore is shipped is being taken out by
drifting along these bedding planes
and blocking out large tOnnages of
ore. BY the method that is being
followed at present the company is
constantly adding to it's ore re-
serves.
1t is also planned to resume the
work of sinking the Wine from the
600 level and ultimately to connect
this Wine with the surface, after
which it will become the main work.
ing shaft. 1t is a triple cOmpart-
ment Wine and it's objective is to
reach the sulphfde zone, where the
values are higher. 1t will also make
rossible the mining of high grade
ore in one of the main assures on the
property. which has produced a con-
siderable tonnage.
In discussing the ore reserves
Yesterday the officials of the COM
pany said that the physical condi-
ton of the property IA excellent
and that there was more money in
the treasury at present than at any
time since the property had been
placed upon a dividend paying basis.
Plans are now under way to increase
the revenues.-Salt Lake Tribune.

ELECTED LORD MAYOR
OF ENGLISH CAPITAL

LONDON, Sept. 25. = Sir Charles
Cheers Wakefield, Kt., who has been
elected lord mayor of London, and
who will take oath of office on No
vember s, is the third native of Lam
cashire in succession to be lord
mayor, and he will be succeeded
next year by another Lancastrian in
the person of Sir Walter Dunn. Witt
are exceptions the post is never held
hut one year, and there has been
no exception for 80 years.
Sir Charles is a self-made man, as
the term is used in the United States,
has built up a large business in lub-
ricants and is known to have con-
siderable wealth. Indeed, thai is al
most a necessary adjunct, for al
though the salary of the lord mayor
is $4,000 a year, the term in the
mansion house calls for an outlay
said to be much larger than that.
He was born in Liverpool 81
years ago, and his whole business
life has beer devoted to the oil bust
mess. His company has recently
erected on Cheapside an imposing
building, Wakefield House, where
his office is located, a block above
cording to tradition, were said to
call Dick Wilmington to be thrice
lord mayor of London, and only a
few minutes walk from the mansion
house and the guildhall, the center
of the functions in which the lord
rides in his celebrated coach which
is still one of the sights of the city.
His home is at Hythe in Kent,
where he has collected a notable
gallery of famous paintings and
prints and where he spends all his
leisure time, with only Lady Wake
field and his adopted daughter of
sixteen. He has made several trips
to different parts of the United
States and has travelled all over
the world.
He was chosen sheriff in 1907, an
supporter of guildery, which plays
such an important part in the civic
life of the city. He is a member of
no less than nine of the wealthy
companies and on the court of four
of them. His parent guild is the
ter of the Cordwainers. a company
that v before gave a lord mayor
to the city.

SAYS HONOR SYSTEM IN
PRISONS is A FAILURE

OAKLAND, Calf. Oct. 13.-That
the honor system among convicts is
a failure, was the declaration of
judge Prick of the state supreme
court of Utah, before the American
prison association. Theorists
think that it is only necessary to
call a convict a nan of honor to
make hin one" he said. This is
a pernicious error and let's loose on
the community many a dangerous

make a citizen of a confirmed rogue

WORKING MEN OF GERMANY ARE
~ ENJOYING GREAT PROSPERITY

ing the week ending Aug. Il, 1ndi-
cate as sugestively as anything else
how unemployment has dwindled
with the advance of the war. The
following figures covering some nf
the more important trades serve as
coed examples:
Unemployed metal workers receiv
ed in the week of Nov. 6, $3.50
marks, in August 276 marks; build
ing trades workers, 1865 marks.
in August. 220 marks; Autograph
ers, 646.40 marks, in August $50
marks; painters, 279.S5; textile
workers, 744.10 marks' printers.
1.75S.SO marks; tobacco workers.
$3.50 marks; wood workers. 11.0S1
marks; transportation workers, 81
4S2.15 marks.
The economic reason for the de-
crease in, almost the disappearance
of. unemployment, lies naturally in
the increasing number OF men wfo
have been drawn into the army. IN
such trades in which wages have in"
creased, the places of some of the
absentees have been filled, but nev-
err all of the places.
Thus figures showing the number
employed OH July 1, 1915, and the
number drawn for military service
I'D to June 80. 1915, when tOtalled
together, in a majority of cases add
up to more than the total employ
ed on July 1 1914. In other words,
industrial recruits have been found,
but never enough to keep wages
from rising.

LEASE ON

SHEEPHERDER'S DREAM
PROPERTY

After a period of mental depres-
sion during which Willard mine own
ers have been able to adjust their
perspective the camp is now coming
lack into real development. The
surface showing which has been
pronounced by experts to be one OF
the best ever discovered in the Unit
ed States is again claiming atteh-
ton and will result in some imme-
diate operations on the Shepherd
er's Dream under the management
of l.. J. Kaiser.
Mr.. Kaiser has secured a lease on
500 feet of the the Sheepherder's
claim. This takes in the Fawcett,
Campbell, Bible lease and the Hun
ter, Reynolds Waldron lease adj
joining. The former lease produced
the most phenomenal rock of the en-
tire camp, running in the neighbor-
hood of SO a pound. 1t was this
showing practically on the surface,
which led several prominent mining
men to make the statement that
Willard was one of the coming gold
camps of the west.
In the present instance, WORK
will be started on the old Fawcett
lease. AShaft will be sunk and
drifts made either way along the
strike of the vein. Whether or not
this work will develop the uIldoubt-

A hosting plant has been ordered
