hence, the newcomer, as an im

here today when Mrs. Walter

with the Friedmann bacilli. The
woman was accompanied by her
husband and he announced his
intention to notify the public
through the press as to whether
the treatment proves efficacious.
Dr. Friedmann is smarting un
der the criticism voiced by Euro
pean papers by reason of his re
fusal to give any of the bacilli
away. He says inoculation of a
patient requires the most delicate
and technical work and that it
requires instruction which he has
not time now to give to the world.
He offered, however, to permit the
American government to subject
his cure to a thorough investiga
tion.

GLACIER CLAIMS
Colonel Millard Will Devote All
His Energies to Mineral
Creek Claims.
The Ramsgy-Rul herford prop
erty, which is under bond to the
Mineral Greek Mining company,
will not he developed by that
company, as Colonel Millard, the
head of the company, has decided
to devote all his time to the open
ing up of the claims owned by
the Mineral Creek Mining Go. on
Mineral creek.
Work recently done on the
Mineral creek claims under Mr.
Millard's management has dem
onstrated that they have ground
of exceptional value. Two distinct
leads have been found, each car
rying good mineral values. The
shipment of ore made last No
vember, which wtis of the best
taken out, ran $355 to the ton
and Ihe Tacoma smeller paid *1.
315 for tin1 ten tons.
The veins on the Hercules and
the Millionaire have shown up so
well that Col. Millard feels that
Ihe company will have enough
with the Mineral creek property
and he will therefore concentrate
mining operations on them.
The Ramsay-Rutherford prop
erty was acquired by Col. Mil
lard that in the event of a failure
on Mineral creek the company
would slill have the glacier prop
erty.
