On the third page of the pres- ,
ent issue of the Nugget will be .
found under the capt.on, “A Flea ,
for the Helpless, ’ the report of a
the Chamber of Commerce com
mittee delegated to investigate
and report on the Morningside
Sanitonum of Mt. Tabor, Ore.,
the institution to which are con- a
signed the mentally afflicted from ..
all parts of Alaska. Contained in e
the report are the sworn state- „
ir.ents of three more of the un- i<
fortunates who have been confin- ti
ed in that institution and who p
know through experience the re- y
pulsive conditions prevailing n
within its sordid walls. Often y
before has the press revealed
through the medium of similar
statements the truth concerning S
the condition under which the Al- n
aska insane are compelled to ex- w
ist when overtaken by an unfor- t
tunate fate. Time and again it p
has been impressed upon the pub- u
lie that carelessness and brutali- e
tv are the predominating features a
of this abode of human misery; 1
that there the human dere- a
licts are given neither help nor
kindness nor any treatment that c
will tend to improve their condi- e
tion- Indeed, it has been repeat- 1
ely shown that conditions are t
such that it is nothing short of t
marvelous that any who have \
been confined there have regained
their reason sufficiently to emerge
and tell the shocking tale of their <
experience. Stories of the shame- ;
ful things endured by those sick .s
and helpless ones have been told 1
so often that all should know and
realize that here is something de- :
manding public attention. And 1
yet we do nothing. Is it that I
we are lacking in all human feel- <
ing; are cold and callous to the '
call of human suffering and dis- l
tress? Is it that we are unutter
ably selfish, cruel, and that in our
breasts the milk of human kind
ness is, indeed, rigidly con
gealed? Have we neither com
passion nor humane feeling that
we do not at least raise our voices
in angry protest against the bar
barity and cruelty to which our
unfortunate insane are subjected?
Why do we permit the repetition
of the tales of horror that come
to us at times, unless we are in
deed guilty of the charge of
■. -- .. T ....!f _
shameless neglect of humanity
and decency' If we are nut; n
tnere is in our hearts one s, ; .
ot human compassion, why do \v.
not rise in ngnteous wiath ami
demand that our unfortunates b
given decent treatment and such
u'eip as can be bestowed on those
in such condition ? \V hy do we
sit luie \vhne compassiCKT is mock
ed and pity outraged ? in the re
port ot tue Chamoer "vi «_oni
merce committee we have spread
befoie us another chapter of hor
ror in the tale of our guifty ne
gleet of fellow beings whom an
unfortunate fate lias inrown upon
the public mercy. Read them an
let the full horror of their mean
ing reach your heart, and stir
your sympathy, then rise in
righteus indignation and demand
that the Alaska insane shill bi
accorded proper care, decent
treatment, and such help in their
affliction as kindly hearts and
willing hands may bring to those
who suffer.

T. R. Brown, president and
general manager of the Dclarp
Development Company at Unga,
states that the cyanide mill con
structed for the purpose of treat
r.g 400,000 tons of mill tailings
from the old Appolo mill, whirl
aveiages three uoilais per ton ir
gross value, has been complete
and placed in operation. In
cyaniae mill was compelled ti
shut down a month earlier this
season than usual, due'"to cok
weather freezing the water-sup
ply. The cyanide adjunct-has a
capacity of 500 tons per ty.y and
consists of five Steel" tirfiss- plu>

boxes. Zinc shavings a#e-use
as a means ol precipitating the
-,oid and an extraction of 85 per
cent is maintained.
It is the purpose of the man
agement to actively start opera
tions at the mine the coming
spring, and the property on ob
taining full capacity will emplos
two hundred men. The mine
proper is known as the Appolo,
and i> located on Unga island.
Probably no ore ever found in
Interior Alaska was as ricn as
that taken out of the liomestake
property recently by jfte Hen
ue. i on. sa.» s liit
From about eleven pouifds of ore
he extracted no less than $1,000
which would indicate that the ore
was practically 45 per cent gold.
For some time the operators on
the Homestake have struck spots
in the ledge in which the ore
showed extremely high values.
.Uenaerson & O'Connor have
been developing the property for
many months, and it promises to
develop into one of the best
quartz prepositions of the Tan
ana valley.
