Dogs Take Another Setback Alaska
 For Planes

Charles E. Ammilon, veteran prospector of the Fairbanks dis trict, has solved his winter freigh ting problem with motor-sled.
 MT. Ammilon formerly used dogs. but a couple of years ago he figured out a way to put a motorcycle and a freight sled to- gether, and the result, if not streamlined efficiency, is some thing that gets the job done eco- nomically, the New Miner says.
 Describes Motor Sled
 As he describes his 17foot ire ighter, it has a single steering runner forward, 20-horsepower Henderson high speed motorcy- cle engine 'midships, and cleated drive wheels aft.
 The motor-sled will haul 1,500 pounds of freight besides the dri- yer, and at the same time tow a trailer. Without the trailer and loaded light, it will make 25 miles per hour on a winter trail. In summer, MT. Ammilon drives the sled with wheels fore and aft.
 Cleats On Wheels
 In winter he puts cleats of birch on the dnive wheels, making a dnum-like traction.
 "The motor-sled has plenty of power, and I use it for such heavy jobs as moving my prospect boil CT and for hauling big loads of Wood," said MT. Ammilon, who prospects and mines in the Man. ley Hot Springs district. Unlike dogs, the motor-sled costs me no money when I'm not using it. The motor-sled is powerful, faster than dog team, and much more economical"
 On Business Trip
 MT. Ammilon will soon return to Manley Hot Springs for the

THAWINC
 OUT
(By Dr. Iago Galdston) Edited for the New York Academy of Medicine.

The proper treatment of freez- ing is thawing. The thawing out, however, must be done with care and skill, otherwise damage may be aggravated rather than mini mixed.
 To understand the principles be hind the correct thawing out, we must appreciate that the human tissues can adjust themselves to marked chemical and physical changes, provided that the alter ation is affected gradually. Sud den changes threaten to disrupt the animal organism.
 For example. the body can tol- crate comparatively large doses of toxic substances after a grad ual build up of the dosage.
 While the freezing may repre- sent sudden and precipitous han'ge, the thaWing out should be gradual. In other words, the tenn perature of the frozen part must be raised slowly. For this reason common usage employs snow. To the unaffected person, snow is chilling, but in relation to the frozen part, snow is comparative ly warm. Were we to use warm or hot water, violent changes would be simulated in the tissue cells of the frozen parts, with dis ruptive results.
 However, snow is not the best agent to employ in thaWng out a frozen part. Immersion of the part in water of about 50 degrees Fahrenheit temperature is prefer able and where this is not feasi- ble, the use of wet congresses is indicated. Gentle rubbing of the frozen part is beneficial. The suf- ferer should also be encouraged to move gently or exercise the affected part.
 The rest of the patients body should be kept warm. Hot drinks and hot foods are beneficial No alcohol should be given.
 When circulation has been re- established and-the thawing out of the part has progressed will, 1t is wise to put the patient to bed and keep him there for a day or more, for in addition to his local freezing, the patient may be men, aced by constitutional infection and complications, suh as pneu- monia and kidney disease.
 Second and third degrees freez- ing require expert medical care. This should be obtained as early as possible. In the more serious forms of freezing, sever tissue damage up to the loss of the af- fected parts by dry gangrene, may be experienced. In addition, there is great risk of skin and blood infections

winter. During the mining sea- son just past, he worked with his partners-Harry P Sheppard, Jim Finnegan and Harry Palo-on Omega and Chicago creeks.
 Using a tractor with 'dozer and a dragline, they stripped consid- erable ground on Omega Creek, and they are ready to start re- covery of pay dirt next spring. The four partners have five miles of ground on Omega and Chiiago Creeks.
 Mir Shepard and Mir Palo, drag line operator, have gone to the states for the winter. MT. Finne- gan is now at work on Omega Creek, building a hoose for Mir. Sheppard. He will go proepert- ing on Rhode Island Creek, trib- utary of Baker Creek. MT. Shep- pard and Mir. Finnegan are part ners in the Rhode Island Creek prospecting, according to MT. Am milon.
 As soon as there's snow for ire ighting MT. Ammjlon will resume prospecting on Woodchopper Ok. a tributary of Sullivan Creek, where he has two claims. He started a shaft there last winter, sinking a hole 50 feet, and timber ing it. Depth to bedrock is 1855 feet, so he has a full winters work ahead. He has a cabin on Woodchopper Creek and a good supply of timber available for his timbering and for firing his boiler
 Oldtime ProspectOr
 Mir. Ammilon has spent 34 of his 60 years in Alaska. He came from San Francisco 10 the Fair banks district in 1903, and pros pscted on Dome, oGldstream, and Gilmore Greeks in the early days. Besides prospecting and mining in this district and in the Manley Hot Springs district, he prospect ed for a score of years in the uskokwim.

team left here early this week to
Join the major league clubs with
which they have signed contracts.
Harold Wagner, Blue Devil
catcher. Joined the Athletics IN

probably be farmed out to a Pied

Wayne Amber, captain Of the
team during the past 2eaSon, also
joined the Athletics at Washington
on Monday.
George Barley. the Blue Devils
"Fireball" pitcher, left for CleVe-
land, where he will meet the New
York Yankees. Whether they will
keep Barley or farm him out
could not be learned as the Duke
star left.
Amber is one of the greatest
second-sackerS a college ball club
has sent to the majors. He tlelds
the position in nothing short OF
sensational style and his hitting
during the past season ended at
the phenomenal average OF .472-
an average of almost two hits per
game.
Coach Jack Coombs of the Blue
Devils, is of the opinion that Am
bier will see action as soon as he
can get acclimated-probably on
the western jaunt the AS are now
on.
Barley ended his college career
with 10 straight victories his final
seacon, pushing his college record
to "a victories in 26 starts. Bar
ley's nickname 'Fireball' came
from that "high hard one" which
he has and knows how to pitch.
He also has all the curves in the
bag and can pull the string" He
comes under the heading OF a
hitting pitcher" with mark OF
.429 during the past season.
Wagner is a promising youngs-
ter who may develop into quite a
PLAYER. He hit .451 last year and
