 While full details of the mechan- ism Of the steam shovel have not been given out, it is stated, upon reliable authority that it will be so constructed that it will work within a drift not more than four feet from floor b ceiling. II will, of course, be able to work in larger drifts a'so. According to present plans, the sllo- vel will be so constructed that II will swing on a pivot in such a way has she maximum radius will be four feet.

Should the tryout Of the shovel prove success t would mean a great deal to the Fairbanks district, as it would enable mining men to work low grade ground that cannot be touched at the present time, owing to the cost Of operation. It would also mean much in the Tolavana district, where 1t is expected that great deposits Of low grade dirt will be found.
 Frederick Powel, one of the min ing engineers at the dredges and F. c. Aarons, the manager of inc dredge are said to be favorably im- pressed with the model made by the inventor.

Washington, Aug. l6-The Pan-American appeal to Mexico,

ers. takes on the form Of an announcement to the Mexican people

Copies to Carranza and Villa.

SEES IMMUNITY FROM CANCER
covery by Two Investigators
White Lymph Cells of Blood.

New York, Aug. 1G.-The Rockefel-

the Academy of Science at Washing
ton a discovery by two of its investi-
gators whereby immunity from cancer,
1t is hoped, may be obtained.
The investigation was conducted by
Doctors James B. Murphy and John J.
Morton over a period of two years.
They discovered that in the white
lymph cells of the blood there are
the necessary factors in making ami
mails immune from cancer.
A decided increase in the white
lymph cells gives absolute immunity,
