SAW BULLETS TAKEN
FROM OWN HEART
Saw bullet taken from own heart
The removal of a bullet from
one of the chambers of the heart,
under the influence of only a local
anaesthetic, and with the patient
watching the operation, is des
cribed by an army surgeon in
the British Medical Journal' The
point of chief interest established
by the surgeon was the insensi
tiveness of the heart to direct
stimulation. The organ was
handled freely, opened by a knife,
probed with heavy forceps and
closed with a row of stitche
without effecting its contractions
or causing the patient the slight
est pain or discomfort.
“The operation was performed
under a local anaesthetic,” writes
the surgeon, “eucain with adre
nalin being used. The heart was
exposed. No wound could be
seen but on examination by the
surgeon’s finger the bullet was
felt at the back of the heart,
in the muscles or in the chamber
of the right ventricle. It was
noticed that manipulation of the
heart caused the patient no pain
or discomfort of any kind, though
the organ occasionally missed a
beat, and this in spite of the fact
that the anaesthetic had been in
jected only into the skin and
muscles of the chest wall. The
patient, of course, was conscious
th roughout.
The bullet was grasped and wa?
then felt to be inside the cham
ber, so an incision half an inch
long was made in the heart wall
and the bullet removed by for
ALASKA TRADE INCREASES
TEN MILLIONS; 1915
Alaska’s growing importance
and its large influence upon Seat
tle's business is evidenced by the
figures of the business of the year
just closed. For the year 1915
the gross value of Alaska ship
ments in an out of Seattle, and
inclusive of the Tacoma smelter
shipments, will reach $77,000,000
and possibly $80,000,000, com
pared with $66,500,000 in 1914,
says the Seatle P.-I. In machin
ery, lumber, building material,
clothing and food, Alaska took
$23,000,000 worth during this
year compared to $21,000,000
worth last year. The copper pro-]
duction reached $11,000,000 thi3
year, compared with $3,365,000
last year. The territory produc
ed $15,000,000 in gold during the
year; fisheries produced $21,000,
000. In gold, copper and fish
alone the gross product was val
ued at $47,000,000. Practically
all of the trade of Alaska is ac
complished through Seattle. The
Tacoma smelter cares for the cop
per production, and the Selby
smelter, of San Francisco, and the
San Francisco mint takes a por
tion of the gold product- Aside
from these items, Seattle cares
for the whole territorial traffic,
and it is the only American port
having regular steamship con
nections with Alaska. 1 he rec
ord of the territory is one to just
ify the title of the ‘‘nation’s treas
ure house,” but the development
now going on will be evidenced
next year and succeeding years
in increasing bulk Only a be
ginning has been rnad^, and the
gross business of $77,000,000 to
$80,000,000 of this year is but an
earnest of what is to follow.
ALASKA NOTES

tion Co. has leased the Grand
Trunk dock at Seattle.
Charles Ya cook, a Wrangell
native, and George Kelly, an 18
year old white boy were drown
ed near Wrangell by the wreck
ing of a gas boat.
Dr. Walter M. Lindley, of Los
Angeles, Cal., thinks that Alas
kans lack a sense of humor and
quotes a lot of Service's poems to
prove the assertion.
—
William H. Lear, who died at
{
Cordova last month of acute
pneumonia, was forty-five years;
of age and was born at Wrangell.
He leaves a wife and a daughter.;
The government mail carrier'
from Tanana to Ruby lost five!
dogs by drowning on a recent
trip, the team falling into a pot
hole in the river and being swept
away by the strong current.
Postmaster T. H. Deal, of
Fairbanks, has been notified
that he will be placed on the ad
visory board of postmasters.

Advices received from Anchor
age state that Mrs. Dunlap, who
was arrested on the charge of
having sold liquor without a li
cense had entered a plea of guilty
and had destroyed her stock of
liquors. This is the second of
fense charged against the woman.
When she was convicted of the
nrst offense her husband dropped
lead from appolexy. She has now
promised the authorities that she
will obey the law in future.
In accordance with the require
ments of the seaman’s law, ships
coming to Alaska will be required
to reduce the number of their
passengers in accordance with
the number of life boats carried.
The Northwestern, for instance,
is cut from 383 to 269.
That necessity is the mother of
mvention is instanced in the ca9e
jf Iditarod miners who are using
a new method to thaw frozen
ground. The old method of us
ing a heavy prospecting boiler,
weighting about 450 pounds, has
been superseded by a hot water
method which is reported very
ronvtmenUn^ai^Mransport
ed anywhere, as it weights only
about 30 pounds. A large Hat
pan of water is placed on an open
fire and the hot water is pumped
into pipes and forced into the
frozen ground. The method ha ;,
been found to be more effiacacious
than the old steam way.
The Seward Gateway, speak
ing of the statement made by
Senator Sulzer that Wickersham
is proposing statehood for the
territory merely to obtain a cam
paign cry that will last him for a
decade, says: “Somehow that
looks rather too far-fetched.”
Put then, Sulzer has politcal am
bition.
