days ago for Rochester, Minu..,. where

Extreme Care Urged'
. in the Use of Insulin
Washington.—At a moment» when
tbousarftis of sufferers from diabetes
are pinning their hope of recovery
upon the newly discovered remedy, in
sulin, Dr. R. <U. filler, recently of the
University of Toronto, where insulin
was first produced, brings to the United
States a timely warning that the drug
is dangerous, if administered by quacks
or even well-meaning physicians who
are not specialists in the treatment of
diabetes.
“The distribution of insulin should
lie restricted so as to be obtainable
only by men competent to administer
it,'I be said. “In other bands it may
be the most deadly of all drugs, more
harmful than morphine. •
“It is not in UseM-a cure* and is ef
fective oniy when the doses are accu
rately calculated and the diet of the
patient rigidly supervised. It* pur
pose, to state It in a broad way. is to
burn up the excess of glucese in the
systems of diabetics.- Toa much insulin
'does ton much -work and heroic meas
ures are necessary to undo the damage.
. “ A woman who had had ao overdose
I injected at a doctor'soffice in Toronto
became faint in a street car. A doctor

on the ear recognized the symptoms.
He called upon another passenger to
.ppen a box of caudy he had with him.
He gave the woman several pieces of
chocolate sweets, thereby supplying
new substance for the excess insulin to
work upon, and she revived.
“There is a fine opportunitv for
quacks to get bold of the stuff, squirt
it into people in doses unsnited to their
case, charge a stiff fee and turn them
loose to taka the consequences. Dia
betes patients, like other sufferers from
incurable diseases, mean money to
quacks. Patients would be wise to re
fuse treatment from physicians who
may offer it. unless the physicians are
up to the minute iD diabetes treatment.
J "Tb.e-first experimental treatments
at Toronto were disastrous, and in some
cases- nearly fatal. The insulin used
had foreign mutter in it, which caused
trouble al'the point of injection. Those
patients were more or less sacrificed to
the development of the treatment. ’
New Rule, Submitting
Proof on Homesteads:
Under recent instructions received at
the Anchorage Dand Office, the system
of submitting proof on a homestead in
the Territory has been changed, in
the future, when a homesteader has
complied with the law, in regards to
residence, cultivation and improve
ments, he mar submit his proof bv
goiug before any notary . public, a
United States commissioner,, or any
officers having seal, and submit hia own
proof as well as that of two witneses.
The- proof he submits to the land
office. If found satisfactory, the regis
trar will, then issue notice that proof
has been submitted five weeks of the
time and notice of first action will then
betaken.
The difference between the new ays
tem and the former is that under the
former practice followed the registrar
asked the homesteader to submit proof
and the land office would then issue no
tice stating that on such a day, two
.months lateri be would be requested to
appear with two witnesses and submit
pi oof. In several cases the homesteader |
waa unable to have witnesses at the
land office on the day mentioned. It
was then necessary to republish the
notice, whiob resulted in a further
delay and added expense,
This change of system, now in effect,
was made at the request of the An
chorage Land Office.

A Dredging or Hydraulicing
Proposition, Yankee Creek
I am the principal owner of a block of ground
oo Yankee creek, about seven miles long, extend
ing from No. 1 Below Discovery down to the mouth
of|tbe creek.
Pay has been located all along for a distance of
about three miles from the upper end,* and pretty
well prospected and cross-cut.
The average depth of the ground is from seven
to tweuty feet. The top is all black muck, that can
be moved freely. No rook bigger than one’s fist.
The width of the pay. for a distance! of! about
three miles, is from 100 to 200 feet, t'rosscut'mg
work indicates that the ground will fgo from 115
cents to $1 per square foot of bedrock. My belief
is that the pay will average 50 cents per foot
I^have a ditch on the ground, three miles long,
together with water rights. The ground is prettv
well cleared. There is also a drain, three miles
lone, with tho water right. I also have a water
right on Beady Bullion creeir, from which water
can be brought to Yankee creek with a ditch less
than a mile long (4,900 feet), which will give four
Bluiceheads of water, with a pressure or fall of 120
feet, being 1000 feet to the work from the ditch,
f After doing away with the muck, there will be
from four to six feet, of dirt to handle. The pay
runs mostly in the bedrock of porphyry and slate.
The ground is virgin, only about $11,000 having
been taken out by windlass iD prospecting.
Prospecting work during the present wiuter has
resulted in finding values that run up to $1 per
square foot of bedrock.
The Flume Dredge Company has a dredge above
this ground, which has been in operation for the
last three seasons.
The Government road crosses Yankee creek. 1
also have a road down the creel* that connects with
the Government road.
I am also the agent for owners of ground other
than that held by myself.
The ground can be worked either with dredge,
drag-line scraper, or by hydraulicing.
I will either sell the ground or give a lease on
it. If the prospect is satisfactory to the buyer, a
cash payment will be expected. A good bargain
will be given*to the right party.
For further information, terms, etc., call on
ground, or write or telegraph me.
