THURsToN GOES TO Chicago.
An Affection of Throat Requires Diff
ficult Operation.

Hcut operation.
A. L. Thurston, the we'll known pio-
neer miner and prospector of Debor-
gia, Mont, came over some two weeks
ago to secure treatment for his throat
the ailment whatever it is, having
affected the vocal cords to an extent
that made it difficult for him TO
speak above a whisper Upon recon-
mendation of a local physician Mr.
Thurston went to Spokane to have an
examination by a specialist. He dis
covered a growth in the throat which
made an operation necessary but he
nor any other specialist in Spokane
desires to undertake to perform it.
Similar operations have been per-
formed and are said to be invariably
successful but it appears that they
are undertaken only by men who
have made them a speciality. The case
was therefore referred by the Spo-
kane specialist to a specialist i'm
Chicago who has performed many
such operations and who promptly
advised Mr. Thurston that he would
take care of him. Accordingly, Mr.
Thurston left for Chicago YESTERDAY
morning planning to stop a day or
two in Deborgia, and he expects to
be back in a few weeks in good form
to resume development at the Valen-
tine property near Deborgla, of which
he is manager.

METAL MINE ACCIDENTS.
Gratifying Decrease According to the
Latest Figures.

'J"S SS'Sase according TO the
Latest Figures.
That fewer men lost their lives in
metal mine accidents in this country
during 1919 than in any previous year
for which statistics of accidents have
been compiled is shown in a report
just issued by the United States bu-
reau of mines. The number of men
killed was 46S as compared with GAG
killed in 1918. The number of men
injured was S1.5O6 as compared with
1876 injured in 1918.
The fatality rate was the lowest on
record for the metal mining Industry
in the United States, and the injury
rate was lower than any year since
1914
The number Of men employed in the
metal mining industry in 1918 was
l45,262 a decrease of 1884, or about
20 per cent below 1918. The total
working time for all employees was
equivalent to 4O.SS4,656 man-davs of
abor or an average of 2s1 DAYS for
zach employe; these figures indicate |
decrease of PAT per cent and "a
'er cent, respectively, from the rec
nd for the previous year.
For every 1000 men EMPLOYED dur-
ng a full time year Of 300 working
avs S.43 men were killed and 2311S
lere injured.

The Miner has received a letter
from Peter Larson. one of the two
miners who left here some two
months ago for Costa Rica. Genital
America. Mr. Larson is veteran
prospector and miner and like all
other men of that type, he is ever
looking for new fields that give prom
Use of rich mineral discovery. During
the past winter and up to the time Of
his departure. Mr. Larson was en-
ployed at the Tamarack mine After
considerable delay caused by red
tape in securing a passport, this very
essential document finally arrived and
Mr.. Larson and his partner, Mr..
Kunz of Burke headed for the trop-
les about two months ago The let

ditiOns i'm Costa Rica is interesting
particularly to persons who may have
a similar trip under consideration
Not finding mining conditions favor

republic. Mr. Larson has now pro-
ceede dto Colombia. South America,
a country of wonderful mineral pos
slbilites but one i'm which the pros

tend with in pursuing his hazardous

taken from the Maggie Mcdonald To-
cation for the stated reason that only
soil and slide rock were disclosed.
There are willows along the creek
and some scattered trees along the
slope The president Of the company
testified that $SO.675 had been ex-
pended in the development of the
group The cost of the Blanche tun-
rel is given as not less than $4,000.
The claims lie Immediately south Of
those involved in the case of the Dom
Paul Consolidated Mining company
%. 22g55), decided by the department
July %, 1915. From the present rec
ord it appears that the main develop
ment tunnel projected for the Dom
Paul claims has it's portal on the
Echo Fraction location and runs
northward through that claim and be-
meath the Blanche location.
THE Dom Paul case was very sim
liar to that at bar and the discover
les there called in question were
deemed adequate. In the course OF
that decision rendered in the proceed
ll6 tlAH ADAApWlub dpptdAbs
In the discovery cuts
upon the claims in controversy it
is shown that rock in place, or
solid formation was penetrated.
In these workings. on each of the
three claims, is encountered an
altered iron stained quartzite"
This quartzite is stated to be
softer than the surrounding coun-
try rock, indicating that 1t has
been crushed and altered by some
geologic movement 1t is further
shown that iron pyrites a So
called white iron, or marcasite, al
so iron-stains or iron oxide were
disclosed in the altered quartzite.
This crushed and altered quartz
lite is the seat of naturalization in
this region; and it is stated that
the indications present upon
these claims are essentially sim
liar to those found upon the ad-
jacent claims in which workable
ore has been disclosed, and it is
the indication or lead" which the
prospector and miner looks for in
seeking ores.
Talking into consideration all the |
acts and circumstances disclosed in
with the Echo group of
laims, the department concludes that
n the workings upon each one of the
our locations protested there exists
n adequate disclosure of mineral
earring rock in place to constitute
discovery.
In this case the counsel for the
ompany has interposed a motion to
ismiss the appeal because no appeal
vas taken on behalf of the forest SER
ice from the adverse decision of the
zeal officers and the general rules of
ractice are cited in support of the
notion. Procedure involving lands in
atonal forests are controlled by the
)int regulations of September 4, 1915
a. l.. ID. $500, in paragraph of which
is provided that the department of
sriculture shall not be required to
IKE formal appeals from the deci-
ons of registers and receivers. The
lotion to dismiss is without merit
nd is denied.
The decision appealed from is
'und to be correct and is affirmed"
