Kl0ndike i'm Oyster Beds.

81 would not give my fifteen acres
of oyster land for the best gold claim
in the Klondike," said W. T. Buding,
a North Bay oyster grower, to the Ia
coma Ledger.
"The Klondike claim" continued
| Mr.. Buding, will in time give out,
and the yield of the claim is likely to
| soon be spent, but the oyster claim is
good for generations. and as long in
| fact as it is cared for. I am diking my
claim so it will necessarily never be
exposed in cold weather and thus leave
the oysters liable to freezing. Two of
my neighbors are doing likewise; one
of them has fifteen acres of ground
and the other 40.
The oysters in my neighborhood
are good native Sound oysters, but
have been scarce the last five years,
because they were nearly all frozen
during a severe winter five years ago.
They are gaming way again, and by
next season will be plentiful.
ST know of place near my present
| location where l think can raise deep
water oysters successfully. If sue
coed 1 will probably have another
small Klondike. The deep water
oysters of the Sound are much larger
than the mud-hat oysters Of the Sound,
but are not nearly as large as the deep
water oysters of the Atlantic Coast.
The Atlantic oysters will live in the
waters of Puget Sound but will not
propagate here, probably because OF
the excess of mineral or fresh water
that pours into the Sound through its
many tributaries.
"Star fish are one of the chief nuis-
ances with which the oyster grower OF
the Sound has to contend. Mr.. Star
fish does his practical work by drop
ping on the oyster and embracing him
in his arms so that he gradually sucks
his life away. It requires but a few
stars to devastate an oyster bed IN
short time, and for this reason the
oyster man is on the alert to take the
starfish inland and utilize him for pur-
poses of fertilization. He contains
lust enough phosphorus to make hill
of potatoes or other vegetables grow
splendidly one season.
| 1.-The starfsh also devours many
CLANS, as the NUN erous empty shells
along the beach will attest. There Is
a sort of worm that also kills the clam,
nv hor;np into his shell. The star6sh
catches the clam by embracing his
neck when he puts it out to feed.
I'VE gather Sound oysters by hand,
at low tide The deep water oyster is
gotten by dredging.

IMPORTING MEN.
The Gilchrist Operators Said to Be
Bringing in Non-Union Miners, and
Trouble by Strike Is Feared.

1t was reported last night that the
Richland Coal Company were import
ing men from the Pittslburg district to
work the company mines. The miners,
it will be remembered, have been out
on strike since April LIST. At that
time all the miners in the Wheeling
district went out on a strike to secure
the Ohio rate, but since that time all
have returned to work except the
MOundsville and the Richland miners.
The Bogg's Run men later accepted a
compromise, and the Richland men
agreed to go to work for the same
scale. Operator Gilchrist agreed to
pay this if the men would go to work
as individuals and not as union miners.
This the men refused to do and con-
t1nued the strike. Since April two
miners have been working, but have
not made very much progress.
Since the importation of foreign nom
union miners a deputy sheriff and con-
stable have been secured to guard the
mine in case the striking miners at
tempted to prevent the new men from
going to work The miners who are
out on strike as yet have shown no
disposition to violence.
