Halifax, N. S.. Jan. 29.-Three hun.
dred Of the 1000 Doukhobors in auarau-
tine on the steamer Lake Superior have
been landed. The general vaccination
commenced on board ship at sea Is COM
plete. Ali will have been landed Ry
Tuesday. Count Serg Tolstoi is quar-
antined with the rest and not even a
letter is allowed to come of the island.
Several supposed new cases of small
poX proved to be, harmless. Owing to
the delay in completing accommoda-
tions the steamer will be detained a
week longer than otherwise The
steamship company will probably make
claim on the Canadian government
for this delay. The Doukhobors have
their own bedding and food sufficient
for IS days
There is no modern method of fum-
igating skin coats and other leather
goods and plant ordered from New
York has not arrived. The cotton and
woolens will be carted ashore to the

the ships matches are sealed. The
Lake Superior will be here four weeks
and the immigrants fully as long. even
If no more disease sapears. .
The Doukhobors are vegetarians.
Today, they had Sunday services, ceIe.
brating their escape from further per-
secution and praying for a. cleSa bill
of health speedily to enable them to

ON THE PENOBSCOT.
Harvesting Resumed and Splendid I8 Inch
Ice is Being Run.

Bangor Me, Jan. 29.-Ice cutting on
the Penoilscot was resumed. today. ana
with clear, cool weather the harvest will
be finished by the last of this week The
cold snap was just what the ice men here
needed. and, today, several concerns were
running ice is inches or more in thick
ness.
Although the ice this winter is the best
that has formed in the river for 10 years
and as good as ever harvested. there
seems to be some doubt now as to the
size of the crop. delays having been
caused by freakish weather and so many
disasters which have taken large houses
out of the permanent list.
Last fail the house capacity of the river
was 81 600 tons. but since that one 3),0OO-
ton house has been blown down in gale
and another plant of $1,000 tons capacity.
that of the Sterns Lumber Co., has been
destroyed by fire, thus leaving only 251 WI
tons capacity. With good. steady
weather there would be no difficulty. in
getting 250,000 tons of first-class ice.
About 125,090 tons have so far been har-
vested

That winter only 0,00G tons We're put up

in the history of the ice business when

With the mercury at zero.
Said the ice man: This is nice,
And If it lasts Il day or two.
Just see how I'll cut ice!'
There's more truth than poetry in the
above lines, for it is the truth and ex-
presses exactly the situation on the
Kennebec, today. especially among the
down river places where the business
of harvesting ice is carried on, for after
a long period of waiting. which has
been maintained with more or less i'm
patience, matters have at last reach
ed a state where a day or two more of
the cold weather which is now in evil
dence. will bring the ice up to the re-
uusite thickness for cutting, and unless
mild spell materializes before Non
day night, Tuesday will find steam in
the boilers at every ice house along the
lower kennebec. and the crystal cakes
will be climbing the elevators in quick
succession.
At the up-river houses. where it was
possible to begin work upon the first
freeze. as was not the case with those
first mentioned. considerable progress
has been made. and all the buildings
have more or less ice in them. A care
full estimate of the ice housed, up to
Sunday night, shows that there have
been secured thus far about $4,000
tons. which is perhaps about one-fifth
of the total crop. There may be some
variation. however. in the total crop
as it is to a certain degree dependent
upon the amount harvested upon the
Hudson and other places in that sec
ton. The amount harvested at pres
ent is divided among the different
places as follows:

reap a rich harvest This will also
prove true in creeks where it is found
the laborers with pick and shovel can
not take out enough to pay them, cost
or living, etc, considered. With mod
ern machinery in charge of competent
men those same creeks will pay the
capitalist a good bonus This is also
true of the golden belts in Alaska,
United States. The golden deposits
found there are more uniform than in
the klondike district, Canada. While
not IN many cases as rich in particular
spots as the Klondike district, vet the
Alaska gold fields will be found to pay
better return for capital outlay than
even here in the Klondike. In Alaska
there Is more ground that can be
worked all the year round; the pay
gravel is found nearer the surface, and
the soil is not frozen as much as here,
thereby making 1t more economical to
work. look for a great future for
Alaska as a collaborating country, and,
in few years, when machinery will
be introduced, combined with Yankee
ingenuity and backed up by American
brains and capital with the country
properly prospected, the result should
startle the world.
The most remarkable fact in con-
nection with the tgold finding in the
Klondike is that not alone in the creeks
are rich deposits of gold found, but on
the hill sides. Even on top of the high
hills gold has been found, and in many
instances the deposits are richer than
in the creeks Claims on French Hill,
Gold Hill, Shotgun Hill and others
have made many a man rich in the
Klondike district.
The benches and hill side claims on
Hunkey Creek are wonderfully rich.
This is also true of Dominion Creek and
will no doubt turn out equally as good
in other localities. l hope the hill sides
of Alaska, United States, will prove as
valuable 1t has been proven that 1t
takes two seasons at least to ascertain
in many cases where a claim is rich or
not. The mere fact of a couple of men
sinking two holes and then abandon
ing a claim does not condemn it by
any means. On claim owned by
Dlauer & Lorie, on Sulphur Creek, 50
holes were sunk and some drifting done
before pay was struck. The men at
work were paid wages and would have
given it up Mr.. Loire said to me: Il
am Disguised. Seven men working for

but handsome bargain.

TAX LAW TO Be DECIDED

The supreme court will be called on TO
decide a number of tax cases which in
volve considerable money and several
questions of Importance TO Silver Bow
county, and at the same time will, in
cidentally, determine whether Judge
Clancys views of the law or those CT
Judge Lindsay are correct.
A number of suits have been brought
against the county treasurer by various
parties to restrain him from attempting
to collect a lot of taxes on the grounds
that the assessment was not legal and
that the treasurer had not proceeded
according to law in attempting to col
lect the taxes. A. few weeks ago two of
the cases, in which Silas F. King and
James A. Murray We're plaintiffs, came
up for hearing on demurrer before
Judge Clancy and he decided against
the plaintiffs without giving their al
torney, j. X. Macdonald an opportun-
ity to be heard or present his side of the
case. A week later two similar cases,
in which Patrick Deloughrey and w. f.
Cobban are plaintiffs, came up before
Judge Lindsay for hearing on the same
questions and yesterday the court over
ruled the demurrers, deciding thereby
in favor of the plaintiffs and contrary

tered was by the court considered am
