the production of the United States

BODYRECOVERED
After Three Months in the
Water the Body of Charles
Davis is Pound.
On the 12th day ol last Novem
ber Charles Davis, an employee of
The Pacific Timber Company,
while at work driving logs, in order
to escape from a jam, made a jump
and fell into the water and was
drowned Diligent search was
made to find the body but it was
fruitless For a long time his wife
watched the si rem hoping to re-!
cover his remains, but was finally
persuaded to cease her vigilance.
The heavy rains Sunday and Sun
day night caused the river to rise
and evidently loosened the body
from its fastenings and when the
water fell it was found. on the bank
seven miles below the scene of the
accident. Although iti the water
more than three months the body
was but slightly decomposed. The
remains were shipped to Oakland
for burial, where the wife and her
mother, and his brothers await
them. The deceased was about
thirty-live years of age.
NORTH PAIRVIEW COMPANY.
Annual meeting of the stock-
holders 01 the North Kairview tniti-1
ing Company was held in this city
yesterday afternoon. There was a
large attendance of shareholders
and affairs of the company were
thoroughly gone over. 1
The election of new officers was'
also accomplished, with the follow-1
ing result: I
A C. Woodcock, ores dent: Alf!
alker, first vice president; George
Heilinan, second vice presikent; L
T. Harris, secretary; Darwin Bris-
tow, treasurer; Herbert Leigh, gen
eral manager. Directors are A. C.
Woodcock, Alf Walker, George
Heilman. X. T. Harris, Herbert
Leigh.
The manager's report shows a
wonderful improvement in the
property during the last year, two
very rich bodies having been
opened up and miners are now at
work blocking out over 100,000
tons of free milling quartz prepara
tory to installing a stamp mill,
The work on this property is
being carried on by the sale of
treasury stock, and the secretary's
report shows that the company has
had good success in placing the
treasury stock for development
purposes, some large blocks having
been disposed of within the past
two weeks.
'GREAT IS RADIUM.
Although it has been known only
a few days that water in which
radio activity has been cenerattd
with radium is capable of curing or
of benefiting the most dread dis
eases, the physicians of New York
have brought such heavy demands
for the new, strange element that
not only is the supply nearly ex
hausted, but there is little hope
that it can be replenished in many
months.
Klmer & Amend of Third avenue
and Eighteenth street, who sell all
the radium salts used by physicians
in this city and Philadelphia, said
to an American reporter today thai
where they formerly carried in stock
tubes of radium salts of as high as
300.000 activity, they were now
only able to supply the salts in
tubes of 40,000 and less intensity.
The supply, all of which comes
from the Curie laboratory in Paris,
is very limited at this time, and
nearly all there is in sight is already
engaged for German and Austrian
parlies. In addition to declaring
mat radium will cure cancer, con- companions mado no remarks or
sumption, diphtheria nnd scores oi j suggestions? The party aro iinai.I
other maladies, doctors of the ' monslii their praise of the reception
highest standing now hail the new I necorded them nnd of the excellent
element as a boon to mankind in rfimHt furnished hv the Creswell
that it is the greatest sterilizer ot
water the world lms ever known.
They assert that with a small
quantity of it the water of the
largest schools or other public in
stitutions may be so thoroughly
cieansed of disease germs that sick-1
uess cannot ensue from its use.
Such water would of necessity ,
be given more or less radio activity, 1
but .it is pointed out that this might 1
be removed in some manner not
unlike perhaps that of demagnetize
ing metals.
So great has become the demand
for water possessing radio activity
that one eminent physician, Dr.
William Harvey King, dean of the I
blower hospital, lms established nt
Ills home, No. 64 West Fifty-first ,
street, a temporary depot, where
he gives the liquid the radio activ
ity and distributes it nmong physi-
cia s who want it, but have not the
necessary radium to produce it.
The doctor s reason lor establish
ing this depot was that he had so
many cills from physicians who
wauted to use it in cases of diph
theria that he found it easier to
supply the water than to deny the
appeals. Scores of doctors ari us-1
ing the new healing ageut and the
number is rapidly growing. The
first physician to use the radio
active water prepared by Dr. King
was Ins next door neighbor, Dr.
Irving Townsend, who sought it
for the benefit of a little girl, the
daughter of a rich buniness man
who lives near his house. The
child was suffering from diphtheria,
but her mother was not aware of it
and took her to the physician to
have her throat examined.
"Your little one has diphtheria,"
declared the man of medicine, and
hurrying into Dr. King's office he
procured a quantity of the precious
water and began the treatment
The first effects were almost magi
cal. The child, instead of being
unable to swallow without pain, as
had been the case only a short time
belore, could do so without diffi
culty ten minutes after putting the
water to her lips. Then she was
taken home and put to bed, and
when the doctor called a few hours
later he declared there was no
actual diphtheria remaining The
radium in the water had actually
killed the germs.
"It is astonishing." said Dr.
King, "how widespread has be
come th: professional interest in ra
dium since it has become known
that William J. Hammer, Thomas
A. Udison's chief scientist, has
been able to impart radio activity
to water. Phvsicians are usintr it
j a practical way and many more
are experimenting.
"With a small cpjantity of ra-
dium, ' he declared, "I could
easily sterilize all the water used in
the largest school in New York,
The first cost would be about the
onty outlay, since radium does not
lose its power ol activity.
"I am treating a young man for
paralysis 01 tne ngnt optic nerve.
i wo months ago tlie ngut eye, ab
solutely sightless, could not dis
tinguish an arc light from a bit of
black paper. The other eye was
inflamed. I began administering
radium. A month ago I bad
brought the blind eye to a conditiou
that made it much better than the
other.
"I have cancer cases at the hos
pital responding to the treatment.
One is that of cancer of the aespha
gus, which is gradually disappear
ing. "Another patient has cancer of
the stomach. I give radio activity
to water, and it throws off a radium
film when taken into the stomach.
The curative properties of the ra
dium are brought in contact with
the diseased tissues. The same has
been found true in cases of con
sumption." VISITED CRfVELL.

EXCHANGES HELP THE FAKIR.
The stock exchange of New
York, by refusing
to allow the
members
to advertise in news
papers or magazines, are to a cer
tain extent assisting the fakir who
lives by his get-rich-quick adver-
tisemeuts. the speculative adver
tising field is left open to the fakir
ns a result of the ruling of the ex-
change. The public is ignorant of
the legitimate speculative invest-
ments and, anxious to invest, goes
to the fakir. There are other stock
exchanges, so-called, in other parts
lot the country that are operating
to the detriment of the investing
classes. Some exchanges are
simply the "wash tubs" of certain
promoters who, by making quota
tions on mining and other securities
of questionable value, cause the in
vestor to believe that the stocks will
bring the figures quoted. The in
vestor must learn that it is not wise
to buy the prettiest certificate of
fered. He must learn through in
vestigatioti the true worth of the
property back of the certificate.
Uncle Sam's greenbacks would be
valueless without the money in the
United States treasury to back
them up. In mining the shares
must be backed up by good prop
erty and honest management. There
is plenty of good property and even
the fakir could secure it if he so de
sired. Honds and Mortgages.
