YUKON GOLD oniaw.'K
From the Dawson News wo gather
further details of the dynamiting
of the Yukon gold dredge, a brief
account o.' which was cabled to
the Dally Alaskan on the 26th of
Feb.
The Yukon Gold company's fine
large dredge No. 1, of the Bucyrus
type, was extensively wrecked, pre
sumably by dynamite, Saturday
night. In Its winter quarters, at
So below. Bonanza, a mile above
the Ogllvie bridge.
The Yukon Gold company's pow
der house'and the N. C. powder i
house, within half a mile of the;
j dredge, were broken into within
the last l?w days. Locks 011. the
doors revealed this fact when
tliey were examined yesterday. Tlx-,
Yukon Qold found one box of dyna- !
mitt, missing. The N. C. has not j
yet checked its dynamite or powder |
It is thought that the wrecking of
the dredge must have been accom- j
pllshed with dynamite taken from |
tile powd?r houses mentioned. ?y-|
iiamltc i6 frozen hard in the pow
der houses this time of the yea>\
and would have to be thawed be
fore firing.
Manager C. A. Thomas, of the
Yukon Gold, said today that tho
damage to the dredge cannot now
hull is full of water. He stated
that appa ently the damages will
mean no less than $25,000 loss,
the construction of an entirely new
boat. The dredge complete cost ap
proximately $250,000. The mach
inery seems little damaged but is
thrown out of gear
The dredge rests so that the
edges hani* on the ice, and there
Is about sixteen feet of water in the
pond. The hull may drop farther.
The explosives evidently were placed
ii. the hull, the most vital place,
and possibly at a number of points
along the center. The huge tim
bers in the center are blown to
splinters, and one side of the upper
works blown out, and the other
side and end disjointed, and blown
out at thetop, while the hull may
be split from end to end. The de
tailed damages will not be known
for some time. Mr. Thomas says
the entire season will be lost for
this dredge. An attempt to pump
out the water may be made immedi
ately.
So heavy was the impact of the
dynamite that an anvil was lifted
from one side of the dredge to the
other. Tho huge grizzly, and the
heavy winches, however, seem
undamaged.
Not only the glass, but all sash
es as well in windows 011 the upper
d>.ck of tho dredge, were blown out.
The police were on the job yester
day as soon as reported No clues
are reported. A loud report was
heard at the Old Inn Saturday
night about 10 o'clock, and the ex
plosion may have occurred then. No
one was guarding the dredge for
the winter, but Richard Gillespie
living several hundred yards away,
was commissioned to keep an eye
r-n it when about the place during
the day. That night he was in
town for a few hours, and got home
late, probably after the explosion.

AN ACUTE _A8SCESS.
Th? Way It r?rmt and the Way It '
Should Be Treated,
An abscess In a swelling that cod- i
tnlne pus. It amy t?e either acute or |
chronic, end It may e'tber be deeply
seated In tbc body or It may appear j 1
upon the surface. The chronic or
"cold abscess" In generally of tuber- 1
culoua origin, wiiereas the acute or
"hot abscess" Is the result of an In- j
fectlon by the pus microbes.
The acute abscess con.es on suddenly
with all tbc signs of severe infliimmn
tlon? heat redness, swelling and pres
ently. us the pus fonns, a throbbing
pain. The sufferer often feels 111 and
has a slight degree of fever. In three
or four days the abscess begins to sof
ten. and the paiu diminishes because 1 1
the surface skin is being destroyed and 1
the tension upon the sore spot Is not
so great By and by there is only one
layer left, through which tbe pus can i
be seen. This tbin layer soon ruptures,
and tbc pus escapes. Relief Is Imme
diate. and healing soon begius.
When the inflammation Is deeply
seated the alfalr Is more serious. In
such cases tbe pus may burrow until
It invades some vital structure? the
peritoueutn or the brain, for instance? ?
and a fatal result is not impossible.
The treatment of abscesses has
changed much in late years. Former
ly tbe acute abscess' -,vas allowed to
form and break without surgical inter
ference unlets It threatened life or
caused too much distress. Now the 1
physician does not wait for it to pass >
through the natural stages As soon
as It appears he makes an Incision and
releases the poison before it has a
chance to cause the formation of pus.
He cleans the cavity thoroughly and
keeps it continually moistened with an
antiseptic so ution. It must be allow
ed to dralu freely, and moist antisep
tic dressings should be applied while
the wound .s healing.? Youth's Com

PUDDLES OF SILVER.
Crude Methods That Art Used at the
Mines In Mexico.
It was nt Pacbuca. Mexico, that the
patio system of separating stiver b:ul
Its origin This system Is still follow
ed extensively nt the silxer mines
throughout Mexico. The ore Is crush
ed ftnd worked down to a state of pud
dle. It Is then spread out to a depth
of two or three feet over the paved
Cx>r of the courtyard, or patio. To this
mass sulphate of copper la added In
powder, about fifteen pounds of sul
phate to 3.000 pounds of puddle. This
is trodden into the paddle by horses. 1
Several ganrs of old. worn out horses
or mules, about twelve in a gang, are
seen in various parts of the patio, be- 1
ing driven round in circles to trend in j
the sulphate.
On the next day 6 per cent of com- I
mou salt is added and in two more
days 100 per cent of pure quicksilver '
or as much as the assay of the ; '
shows Is required. Tilts mass is t
trodden up by horses for fifteen day
It is then wheeled to a large tank
through wtdch passes a rapid stream
of water. This washes away the clay, j
leaving the silver and quicksilver. I
This residuum Is poured into conr
shaped canvas bags through which
must of the quicksilver runs out. and
what remains with the silver Is passed
off with the vapor by means of heated
retorts.
None of the quicksilver Is lost, and
even the vapor Is brought by cold wa
ter to Its original state and used again
and again. The quicksilver soon rota
the hoofs of the horses and the mules,
but the Mexicans themselves do not
seem to be much the worse for It. even
though they wade around in the pud
dle for days at a time.? Harper's
Weekly.
A Cinder In the Eye.
Who hasn't hail difficulty In dislodg
ing a cinder from the eye? Sometime*
one can succeed with a corner of a
handkerchief, but frequently the cinder
is too deeply lml>edded to be got out in
that way. It would be hard to find a
more sticky substance than chewing
gum. The next time you see any one
with a cinder in his eye Just chew a
piece of gum till it becomes soft and
pliant, twist It to a fine point and you
will find as soon as you touch the cin
der with it out the cinder will come.?
