WAR HERO FOUND DEAD.

BOSTON, May 10.-Capt. Patton Nc
Gilvary, hero of several notable bomb
ing raids as an American flyer with
Italian forces in the world war. was
found dead in the rear of a garage in
the Back Bay district today. He had
been shot over the left eye.
An automatic pistol lay nearby.
Medical Examiner Lea-y said the cir
cumstances indicated suicide. but that
investigation would be thorough.
Capt McGilvary. who had been deco
rated with the Italian war cross for
bravery, entered the commercial avia-
tion field in New England after the
war. His venture was said to have re-
suited in financial losses. His health
was impaired and he went to the
woods for a rest.
The body bore only the forehead
wound. although at least two shots
were fired This fact. together with
the disturbed condition of the ground
nearby, led to a more thorough in
yestigation than usual.
McGilvary also wore the golden
crown and wing. an Italian decora-
tion conferred on the members of
the first group of American aviators
to reach the Italian front He was
born in Berkeley, Calf, thirty-four
wears ago, and was graduated from
University Of Wisconsin in 1906. He
was a member of a flying circus that
gave exhibitions at Cleveland and
other cities after the war.

PROSPECTORS IN HUNT FOR GOLD
CAST ASIDE METAL 8 TIMES VALUE

LONDON. May 10.-All that gilt
ters is not gold, but lack of glitter
is not a certain test for worthless
ness, it was found by gold diggers
along a river in Papua recently.
While engaged in their search for
the yellow metal the men en-
countered a bluish-gray, f1akish
substance, which they cast aside as
worthless. Two weeks ago two and
one-half pounds of this substance
was bought in this city by an
American firm for approximately
Sd. 900, or eight times the value Of
the Same amount of gold.
It was osmiridium, a member OF
the platinum group Of metals, one
of the hardest metals known, and
used for the tipping of fountain
pens and for delicate bearings OF

fine machinery that the prospectors
cast aside.
The men were digging in a river
bed at Paqua, British New Guinea.
and in their eagerness to discover
gold disregarded the osmiridium,
which is worth f40 an ounce.
When the prospectors returned to
their settlement at night they re-
marked about the strange sub
stance turned up. A mining en-
gineer told them of their error and
they hurried back to discover that
the arrival Of tropical rains had
washed away most of the precious
stun.
By careful work they raked to-
gether what was left, had ii re-
fined and sent to London. The
metal was eagerly bought by the
American company.
