THE
Ha* Bond on Property and Will Give
It Thorough Tecting—May Erect
Mill 8oon.
E. D. Weetbrook, Jr., D. E. Kellogg,
of .Ballard, and W. W. West, of Se
attle, leave tomorrow for the Ivan
hoe group of seven claims on Shoup
bay, which they have bonded from the
original locators pnd upon which they
will spend considerable money de
veloping the property and establishing
its worth.
The party will take five tons of
Spraviaiopa sad mining supplies with
them and will have the outnt shipped
to the mine by Ed, Wood, the Valdes!
freighter, who is now working on the.
Shoup glacier with the big Cameron
Johnson outfit.
The Iranhoe group of claims lies
Just opposite and across the glacier
from the Cameron-Johnson and' Gold
King claims and was located several
years ago by Emil Davis and Bill
Westerling. The property is consid
ered one of the best undeveloped
prospects in the Shoup bay district
and the owners uncovered a seven foot
lead jf free milling gold quar z, as
says from which gave returns of $45.00
a ton. The lead was uncovered for a
is’arte of 1,500 feet.
Mr. Westbrook and his associates
will open up the property and if the
returns are what they anticipate a
stamp mill with a capacity of 500
tons per month will be installed. The
complete plant for the mine has been
purchased and is ready for shipment
north if Westbrook and his associates
become satisfied that the olkims will
supply enough ore to keep the mill in
operation. ,
The work of inspecting and testing
the property will be rushed to a rap
id completion, as the miners are anx
ious that they get the mill on the
claims this season if it can possibly
be done.
The Arctic Brotherhood bull in
Eagle hall last night was well at
tended despite the inclemency of the
weather. It was the first social af
fair after the closing of the lenten
season. The storm prevented many
from attending but the hail was well
tilled with a gay crowd when the
grand march began at 9 o’clock.
The prizes, consisting of dress
silks, were won by Mrs. Plum nnd
Miss Lamar, they being the holders
of the lucky door coupons. The la
dles brought baskets of refreshments
and vthe drawings caused lots of
amusement. The dance was kept up
until 3 o'clock.
Pig’s Eye Gives Sight.
BALTIMORE.—Sight has been giv
en to the left eye of David Kane,
9-months-old child of Mr. and Mrs.
Herman Kane, *of Gettysburg, P»..
through the grafting of the cornea
of a pig’s eye to the chilld's eyeball,
I according to physicians at a hospital
here. Certain tests, they declare,
have brought Out this- fact without a
doubt.
When the bandage was removed
from the eye it was declared that the
child followed the course of a light
ed candle which was moved in front
of him. Apother test that brings out
the fact more clearly is that the child
now winks his1 eyelid If a linger or
small object is waved close to the eye.
^The movement of the eyelid is the
natural one.
Te disease from which little Dav
id had suffered since he was three
weeks ol^.is known as staphyloma of
the cornea. Both eyes became effect*
ed and the child was practically blind.
Sight was partially restored to the
right eye, however, after treatment.
The left seemed to be in a hopeless,
condition and It was only as a last
resort that the operation" 1vas decid
ed upon.
The. operation was performed last
week and the cornea of the pig’s eye
was used because It was^ald It more
closely regent hips the hum go cornea
than th-tt pf say other animal. Child
And pig were placed under an anaes
thetic and the outer covering of the
animal’s eye was removed. It was
quickly placed on the eyeball of the
phlld. • The child’s eye today is, said
to be perfectly dear and free from
inflammation. . , ,*-.q

MINERS ASK FOR

MORE MAIL TRIPS;
i
Operators on Slate Creek Want Camp j
Supplied With Mail During the i
Summer Months.
!
i
The Valdez Commercial Association j
has been asked by the miners op-1
erating on Slate creek to take up with j
the Postoffice department the great i
injustice that is being worked on the1
camp by the curtailment of their mail
service.
Last year the service was confined
10 two trips during the season, one
in July and the other in August, and i
the plans for this season do not con
template any additional trips. In view ;
of the fact that there are about 75
men on the creek from May 1st to
ihe end of September, there is no
question that there should be mail.
services during this entire period.
The Association has taken this mat- i
ter up with the proper officials and ;
it is sincerely hoped that these men
will get the consideration to which |
they are ehtitled.
