WILSON’S ILLNKSS
Many in Alaska have been concern
ed as to tin* exact nature of President
Wilson’s illness. In the mail received
in Seward the following article is
uivcn in the newspapers:
The actual condition of the presi
dent and the precise character ol
ln.^ ailment were communicated 10
Secretary of State Lansing and
other members of the cabinet by
Or. Ciraysi|i. but with the under
standing that nothing should V
made public beyond the informa
tion contained in the official bulle
tins framed by the physicians in a’
tendance.
I’ltimate recovery of the execti
tive depends upon the recuperative

chief Hanger in the situation is that

son referred in a private letter in
which he said of the president:
"My ir'.-at difficulty is to keep him
f*om becoming irritated as a result
of the rest treatment, for if he should
strain himself too severely compli
cations mijfht result.”
Kanina this contingency the re
covery of the president, in the opin
ion of the physicians is only a
ipio-tinn of time. It i.-* conceded, how
ever, that it is likely to In* two or
three months before Mr. Wilson, un
der tin* most favorable circumstances
will he enabled to resume active <iis
charge of his duties.
The disposition to conceal the real
character of the illness still persist ;
at the White House. The report that
Mr. Wilson is suffering from a “cere
bral lesion” remains undenied by IK
('•rayson and members of tin* cabinet
regard themselves ns pledged to sec
recy concerning what was impart *d to
them by tin? physicians. Nothing nr •
preaching such secrecy has been
known since the major operation mi
President Cleveland which, took place
aboard a yacht in the Allantic and
concerning which nothing was knov u
until two or three years ago when l>r.
W. W. Keen, of Philadelphia, publish
ed the account.
As a result of this secrecy and th*
non-commital attitude of the physi
cians toward the report that the pros!
dent has suffered a cerebral lesion the
impression is becoming prevalent an
deep seated that this is the charade
of the ailment. A number of medical
authorities have stated that such iti
formation as has been vouchsafed by
the White House lends color to the re
port that a blood vessel of the brain
is affected.

like material is dark roil in color and

a knif. Kxporiments proved it could be
quickly made into paint.
These prospectors also discovered
what is believed to be a big vein of
hemitite in a subterranean chamner
of a low cliff seven miles from Nor
ton Hay mission, which apparently
had been a mine of perhaps prehistor
ic origin. Inquiries of aged natives
failed to elicit information of any one

I engaged in mining or prospecting and
developed the fact that the opening of
the cliff was only recently revealed by
a big slid**. Pebris partially covering
the entrance to the cliff chamber was
discovered . This tunnel apparently
had been driven into what is believed
to be a ledge of iron ore ten feet in its
thickest portion. Near its mouth the
subterranean chamber had been timn
e-ed.
