When George Bodis, independ
ent mining operaor on Dick
Creek in the Kougarok, left the
St. Joseph’s hospital in Fair
banks he could see his way out
with both ey s.
He entered the hospital recent
ly, four days after a piece of
stjeel a little larger than the
head of a pin, had imbedded it
.-I if in his right eye while he
was repairng a tractor on his
placer property.
Applied First Aid
Immediately after the accident
he applied first a d treatment
himself.
“I drew the upper I'd of the
injured ye over the lower lid to
flood the eyeball with leaf fluid,
and then b’ew my nose hard to
wr* h away the foreign substance
—the machinist's traditional rem
edy — but the treatment after
many rep titions. was of no
avail. I then came to Fairbanks.
My eye was swollen and it felt
as big as a hen’s egg.
“I am going now,” Mr. Bodis
continued as he walked down the
steps of the hospital to the Fair
banks Medical and Surgical Clin
ic "to get from Dr. Noble Dick,
whoa: name is the same as the
creek on which I am mining, the
piece of extracted steel.
Extracted with Magnet
“He got it With a magnet. I
am going to have the metal set
in a nugget ring.”
Dr. Dick said perman nt im

vould b ■ so slight as to be scarce
