FLEAS MAY AID WAR ON
DISEASES OF THE BODY
CONTINUED STUDY OF ROTH
SCHILD COLLECTION HOPED TO
YIELD MEDICAL KNOWLEDGE.

LONDON. - Important medical
knowledge regarding the spread of
plague and perhaps, other blood dis
ease as we'll, is expected to result
from the continued study Of the col
lection of feas left to the Natural
History Museum in London by the
late Hon. ~ C. Rothchild.
Rothchid himself was the worlds
leading authority on feas, according
to officials Of the insect department
of the museum here, his collection is
the greatest and most important in
the world.
Size of Collection.
II contains. at a rough estimate,
fully 100, 900 individual specimens of
heas, representing between 500 and
700 different species. Dozens of these
species were unknown to insect scien-
lists until Rothchild obtained, identi-
fed and named them.
For some tirle the rat flea has been
known to medical research men as a
spreader of plague, hut they are now
hoping to discover whether or not
feas carry other diseases with them
and infect healthy persons by their
bite.
For instance, there are a variety Of
tropical heas, and some students of
tropical diseases are how working
on the theory that these complaints
may be carried from the sick to the
we'll by flea bite.
RothchiId's Interest.
Rothchild's interest in feas was Of
curious origin. When very young
boy he was shown a flea through a
microscope by his governess and the
sight apparently fascinated him.
From that time onward be came de-
t6rmined to develop a knowledge of
what was then the least known Of any
of the order of insects.
What to the average person was
but a subject of jest or, in certain
circumstances profound profanity,
became for him a matter of intense
scientific study. He became a pro-
lifiic writer on the subject, his first
paper thereon, dealing with two new
species of British fleas appearing
when he was only 20.
Cost of Collection.
Thousand of pounds were spent by
Rothchild in the pursuit of knowl-
edge about f1eas. Whenever any ex-
petition set out to explore distant
or Iittle-known countries, some scien-
fist was commissioned by him to bring
home specimens of the fleas found
on the animals in those territories.
In the course of his researches he
discovered that practically every ami
NAL was the host of some particular
species Of flea.
The Rothchild collection is remain
ing for the present in the museum
at Tring, where DR.. X. Jordan, cura-
tor, is preparing complete cata-
Iogue of it, a task which may take
two years. When that work is fin
ished it will be transferred to the
Museum of Natural History In Lon
don.

INDEPENDENT COMPANY
EXTENDING CROSSCUT
EXPLORE VEIN AT GREAT DEPTH
FROM WORKINGS OF THE
NATIONAL.

The Independent Copper Mining &
Milling company started prosecuting
today from the National workings
according to information received
from John II. NOrdquist, manager
This is one of the most interesting en-
terprises taken up in the district in
recent times and has the advantage Of
quick action both in the matter Of
getting results underground, and if
these are satisfactory, placing the pro-
perty on a productive basis. Briefly
stated, a crosscut driven north by the
National company at a point nearly
mile underground. is being extended to
cut the Independent vein, which may
possibly be reached within 100 feet,
depending upon the dip of the vein.
This will attain a depth of 400 feet
from the surface 1000 feet below the
Independent tunnel and 500 feet below
the drift from the bottom of the shaft
sunk from the tunnel. In both the
tunnel and shaft level considerable
lead-silver ore and some copper has
been found in a vein of great strength
and promise and much confidence is
felt that the work now undertaken
will find a body of commercial ore.
Facilities for Production.
All necessary rights have been Sc
cured from the National company for
the use of it's tunnel. tracks, air pipe
and other facilities A compressor
has been secured from the Alma Min
ing company and Mr. Nordquist says
this has been placed in position and
will be in service today. If the indie
pendent company is successful in find
ing an ore body, there will be no long
delay in beginning production. The
National mill will be available for
lease, and the old tramway grade from
the portal of the tunnel to the mill can
be transformed into a wagon road
with comparatively small expense,
which will provide means for deliver
ing the ore to the mill until more
modern method can be provided. AL
together the plans now being carried
out by the Independent company pos
sess great possibilities and will be-
followed with unusual interest.

chiefly through the large operations of

more recently been made and which
are now attracting much attention.
The district is in that stage, Mr.. An
