of work ahead of them, and
it is more than likely that
they will demonstrate add
itional yardage by drilling
long before they have work
ed out their known values.
There are a number of in
dividual miners in the Kou
garok who have been tak
ing out good money for
years, and this work will
doubtless continue, John
Kanari, who is hydraulick
ing on bench ground at the
upper end of the creek, took
out better than $15,000
with a crew of only three
men and himself. A1 Carey
and his partner on Dahl
Creek had a good year, and
Henry Breen, who has a
hydraulic plant on Home
stake Creek was working
on ground carrying excep
tional values.
All along the Kougarok,
miners are prospering. Jim
Kelliher, who has a plant
on the bench at three above
Connolly’s Discovery had a
good year last season, and
is planning on a better one
this season.
On Macklin Creek, the
Laurin boys have been tak
ing out good mney with a
hydraulic plant and have
not less than ten years of
work tested ahead of them.
One of the new shows in
11his section is the ground
'that has been located by
Frank Whaley, well known
piano pilot. Along with his
partners he has located
some ground carry in sen
sational values on G;r lin'd
Creek, a tributary of the
Noxapaga, and while this
Is new ground, from the
way it prospects it has a
good chance to add another
big pay creek to the dis
trict.
Yes, it begins to look like,
after years of pick and
shovel mining, the Kouga
rok is finally coming into
its own. With modern
methods of prospecting dem
onstrating the width and
values of the pay streaks,
and modern mining meth
ods used in extracting the
values, and couple these
two with the higher price
of gold, the Kougarok prom
ises to be one of the out
standing jewels in the
Crown of Nome, the great
est gold camp that the
Bering Sea has ever known.

Scientists Now Seek Har
ness Its Power Fight
Leukemia
(Bv The Associated Press)
Urbana, 111. March 9 —
The most potent death ray
yet devised by man has
been assigned to the task of
saving human lives.
Tests of its power in this
respect were prepared in
the physics laboratory of
the University of Illinois.
The ray, a beam of neu
trons 14 times more deadly
than x-rays, was to be shot
from a scientific “gun’’ now
being assembled under the
direction of Dr. P. G. Kru
ger.
Only a few details had to
I be smoothed out before the
ray generator—the third of
its kind in the country—
went into regular opera
tion, although Dr. Kruger
said it may be several mon
'ths before the beams are
j controlled sufficiently to
permit the medical experi
ments.
Human approach within
50 feet of the “gun” was
unsafe because of the speed
'with which the ray dest
roys the white corpuscles
i of the blood. All shields,
including those used for
protection against x-rays
and radium, are vulnerable
to the deadly beams. The
‘gun must be operated by
i remote control from a dist
ant switchboard.
Experiments have shown
Dr. Kruger said, that the
rays reduce the white
blood content from 8.000
to 300 or 400.
Although this means al
most certain death to nor
mal humans, the physicist
asserted, it may mean just
: the opposite to victims of
leukemia, the disease in
which white corpuscles
grow so fast they kill off
the life-bearing red ones.
Feasibility of using the
rays to kill excess white
corpuscles in leukemia suf
ferers was one test planned
for the ray gun, Dr. Krug
er declared.
The ray has supplied an
indirect cancer treatment
by producing radio-active
table salt. This acts the
same as radium, but is
weaker and therefore saf
er for use in capsule form
in cancerous parts of the
body.
