See 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. On lust Snturdny n inrge number of tl.e Mnxonlc frnternlty of Cottnge (Jrovo vUtted their bretl.erl.i In Crrs well.

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. AERIAL CLOCK.

In the good old bonanza days. about which we bear so much, there were few mines worked to a depth of over 500 feet the macl,in. . ,; !-, .. r.i.. j.- y equipment was of the crudest, and the smeltitig and reduction methods primitive. In isolated cases, money was made in the majority of cases, failure was the record of the operator. In tbost tjmes ;t required six months to ob . . . , leaves the property, who shall say that they would desire a return to the conditions of 40 -or 20 years ago? Ores passed by as waste in those days are now being treated at a profit, and much of it returns a greater profit to the mine owner than did the high-grade ores of for mer times. The bonanza days are a dream, While it is true that there were examples of money -making, the cases were isolated the majority of the fortune hunters were disappointed, and eked out i..rnr.JJ. uvt.At.AAs 'T' 1. . ......... miserable existences. The acorn- modations with which they had to be content were of the roughest, the food the worst and enjoyments practically none whatever, against which may be compared the mod ern conveniences of today. The earning power of men today, as compared to the "good old bonanza days, if measured in the amount of money saved out of wages today, as compared with the "good old days," will show that men are not only better off in all respects, but a return to them would be to face a panic Orss nnd Metals.
