There came in on the Excelsior some 40 people among them some women from what is now known as the Clon dyke district, though only 15 of these biid been actually engaged in mining. There were among them men who had been for mote than 10 years facing the dangers and hardships of the frozen North in the hope of making a rich find but who signally failed.

The discovery of the Clondyke region 1 resents a story that is uniquely inter- J esting.

The ; streams abounded with tiie yellow ' metal, and all that was needed was foi soinelssly to pick it up. Many s-rsons (locked to the place, and in time the word reached Forty Mile camp that untold riches could bt found along the Is'ttnni of Bonanza creek and its tributaries.

These two points uro in a direct line from chest to back. i It is the opinion of the specialist, judging fioui the density of the bullet -pots in the negatives that the bullet ' w -ji lodged about two inches in front of the spine. If that is ho, and tho ball traveled in straight line, it must have gone through the heart. If it did not g, through the heart, how did it Let aiouud tlm heart and reach its present location? That is what troubles the surgeons. Nelson's heart is direct ly back of the entrance of the bullet and surgeons sav the bullet could not have gone in direct line without pierc ing the heart. The sciagraph indicate that the hall was not deflected. It Will require another sciagraph showing a lateral view of the patient's chest to determine whether the bullet has passed through the heart or not. If it proves to be back of the heart, the nnstery will be greater than ever. When Nelson was brought to the lio.'tiital and his wound wan probed he lost a pint of blood.
