HE LET THE BULLET STAY.
How 6aribaIdfs Leg Was Saved and
 His Health Restored.


 Half a century ago 1t was the belief of most surgeons that bullets lodged in any part of the body should be probed for and "extracted at all hazards. The modern surgeon. who is able to 10. cate bullets with mathematical accu- racy with the X-ray, often allows the bullet to remain where it has lodged unless there is some very special req son for digging. it out. And results prove the wisdom of the modern sur geon's attitude.
 It is an interesting bit of history that famous Russian surgeon advocated and practiced the conservative method of letting impacted bullets alone more than fifty years ago and by this method undoubtedly saved the life of the Ital- ian patriot Garibaldi. The great sol dier, wounded in the right leg and cap. tured at the battle of Aspramonte, was placed under the care of several Euro lean surgeons, who tried unsuccessful. ly to remove the bullet.
 At that time the Russian surgeon Pi. rogoff was stopping in Heidelberg. and the Russian students at that university raised the sum of 1000 francs to in duce the surgeon to examine Garibaldi Pirogoff refused the fee, but he visited the patriot, examined his wound and. contrary to the opinions of all the other surgeons, advised letting the bullet alone. He suggested removal to dry climate with plenty of fresh air and sunshine. The soldier took his advice, moved into dry climate and recov- ered.-Exchange.

Discussion of Millmen's Mistakes

Editor Prospector: w. H. Wasa- burns report in the Mining and Sci entific Press a year ago, issued Feb ruary 26, 1916, page 297, treats of the mistakes of millmen and superin- tendents. If you are interested in golt quartz mining get that magazine and read this interesting article. AccOrd- ing to this article neither millman CT superintendent knew their busi- ness. The superintendent thought the millman used stickingplaster OH his fingers and the trouble was igno- rance in both cases. Later they find out the trouble. This is part of MT. Williams report
 Now I will tell you some things in regard to the University where I got my education. Of how to amalgam- ate silver and copper plates. I did not learn from books, as the Univer- sity did not require one to have text books; only I had the knowledge to have these things with me. A dor which I built myself, camping outfit, pick and shovel, acide, nitric acid, lye, cyanide, sodium metal and mer- cury, several Oz., copper plate 20 by 30 inches, etc., and l was admitted to take my course. When I began, worked early and late, and made very small days pay. The other men were making $10, SIP and $15 per day. and the best I could make, despite strenuous efforts, was but $3. But stuck to my lessons. The second year proved as discouraging as the first; but the third year I got 50 ounces of amalgam and sent to the Seattle U. s. assay office. And I got my first di- ploma from Prof. Neptune with d bundle of greenbacks with it.
 From that time l only began to re- alize how to amalgamate my plates. Not to use cyanide, nitric acid or lye on my plates. Yes, used all those things outside my works, but not on my plates. And discovered two more things that can be applied for dressing up plates where the gravel sand was oily; but this l am going to keep to myself as it is a secret.
 Now throughout the whole of Alas ka and Southern California these quartz mills are working on the same system. They know of but one way to run a mill,-out of some professors book; and amalgamate in hand nor tar, cricible or gold pan, and they know all about how to amalgan ate mill plates, right at once. Some mines want that kind of men; even to 2 shoemaker He is an amalgamater too.
 A professor of metallurgy may pro- duce good assayers in gold assays or in other minerals in your books.-but you cannot produce millmen. There is a great difference in amalgamat:ng in hand mortars and amalgamating on plates as this is trade by itself.
 The writer will be pleased to give further information to those interest ed in the subject.
