SCIENTIST IS WILLING TO
SUFFER DEATH FOR THEORY
SOUTH NOIUVALK, Conn. Sept. 8
? Thaddeus Tlese, a Hungarian scien
tist, who has spent nearly his entire
life in an effort to discover an ellxer
that will restore life to a human be
ing any time within a few hours of
an unnatural death, claims to have
accomplished his ambition and Is
ready to submit himself to any death
save one that removes a part of the
body, or from acid that eats away the
flesh. The mere removal of the blood
from the body until respiration stops,
suffocation, drowning and like means
of ending life, have no terrors for
him, yet he has not been abie to find
a subject willing to submit himself
to a convincing experiment.

CLEARY GREEK
YIELDS WELL
FAIRBANKS. ? It is carefully est
mated by representatives of the
banks that the output of Cleary creek
and its tributaries this season will
run closo to $2,000,000. Already $1,
500,000 has come Into town from that
"worked out" creek, and the opera
tors are not through yet, by any
means. Discovery claim seems to be
inexhaustible. The productiveness of
the lower part of the creek was in
creased by the device of running a
tunnel into the hillside to drain the
flow of an underground reservoir, the
existence of wliieh has ! beer SLn
pected. This work was done by Ross
Drennan, the operator, and was thor
oughly successful. Claims Nos. 8, 9
and 10 below Discovery were all drain
ed by the tunnel, and the flow of
warm water from the tunnel added
considerably to the supply of water
for sluicing.
