'"The use of heat In the treat

Mustard plasters and similar

'The diathernic treatment used
by DIR. Stewart introduces heat

flows through the entire body APP

the sensation of heat, and it is

when the city's park department
was informed by certain persons
who sought concessions to establish
q gold mine in the park.
However, the reported fabulous
gold deposits cannot be disturbed
under 9 ruling handed down by
City Attorney Stephens, who held
that the park land was decided t.
the city for park purposes only and
that IL the reported gold deposits
were allowed to be exploited heirs
Of the Griffith estate would file
suit against the city and recover
the parks lands.
It was admitted by Park Commits.
siOner Van Griffith that repre-.
sentative Of certain mining interests
recently appeared before the park
commission with q proposal to de.
velop gold mine In one OF the
canyons Of the park. Van Griffith
said the mining expert offered to
turn over to the city half Of the
ore mined In the park, and that he
took the matter up with stephens
who ruled Immediately that the
proposed development would jeop.
ardize the city's title to the land
and for that reason ruled It would
be illegal to enter into any sort Of
an agreement for the exploitation
Of the gold-laden hills.
Van Griffith refused to discuss
the details Of the mining mans
proposition or Of the negotiations
which had been carried out be.
tween the park commission and the
mining company. However, It was
learned from reliable source that
numerous gold nuggets were diScov-
cred In one Of abe ravines Of the
park and that secret geological sur
veys and gold hunts followed, which
revealed conclusively that there are
rich deposits OF the valuable ore
In the park.
