Mrs. M. S. McClellan
Underwent An Operation
For Appendicitis Tuesday
Mrs^ Ernest Sibley received a cable
gram on Wednesday last from her
son-in-law, Robert McClellan, now lo
cated at Chuquicamata, Chile, South
America, announcing the fact that
Mrs. McClellan (formerly Maxine
Sibley) had been taken down with an
attack of appendicitis, and operated
on Tuesday at the local hospital. The
message brought the intelligence that
the operation was entirely successful.
Mrs. Sibley immediately commun
icated with the Anaconda Copper
company, 25 Broadway, New York
city, in order to get information in
regard to the facilities of the hospital
at Chuquicamata, and was told that it
is the equal of any anywhere in equip
ment, and was built by the Gugenheim
interests that started the Anaconda
Copper company where Mr: McClellan
is operating as a mining engineer. It
is equipped with every modern facili
ty for treating any case that could
come under observation at any hos
pital anywhere. American doctors,
surgeons and nurses are in charge, so
Mrs. Sibley was much relieved at this
information.
Chuquicomata is in the Andes
mountains, 250 miles from Autofog
asta, the nearest coast city in the
Chilean coast, has 18,000 population,
with 600 whites, and is 9,500-feet
above sea level. Mrs. McClellan’s
many friends hope she will soon re
cover.
