matter of proper methods of use be

Mr. Stewart is confident thar. ma
terial saving to the industries using
Alaska coal as fuel will be effected
by this means, and development of
coal fields stimulated thereby.
Mr. Hood is considered one of
the leading experts of his field in
the world. Recently he returned from
Europe from a similar task that is
bringing him Alaska.
HARDV OLDTIMER GOES
TO MOOSE PASS MINE
The hardy Alaskan who it will be
remembered severed his frozen toes,
performing his own surgery with a
skill equal to that of a professional,
William Stewart, left Seward yes
terday for Moose Pass where he will
join the Joe Wilson hydraulic prop
erty. The occurence mentioned, took
place in the Kougarok district. With
his chin and toes frozen, and with,
no medical assistance at hand, he
amputated the toes in which gan
grene had started. Doctors who lat
er attended him stated the stitching
; which followed the severing of the
i members was worthy of a learned

however, which will long live in
the annals of Alaska’s pioneers, and
of the early hardships endured, was
the self surgery performed by this
man. •
