D. w. Mckay. representing a num- her Of well-kncwn mlmng men, hat, enlered into an agreement wIlh Nuth- bert j. Gadd fer the sale nf he ALvll Tundra Mining Company's property, the cons derdtlt n beng .l00,OO0. The property i, situated on the old channel of Anvil creek, and ad joining Nos. and 5 below. The Wild Goose Com pany has worked to the south line of No. ,, and has taken out a large amount of gold. The Anvil Tundra Company has already done considerable work by way oi prospecting and aie more than pleased with the excellent results. Three shafts have been sunk. and aa much as S6 to the pan has lcen found in one of them, at depth oi 40 feet.
 Everything points toward cor robOraLlon Of theory of the locators Of ! the tundra property, that they are on the old channel. IL is surely prUrls- lsng for Nome that expcrie uced mining m,n are beginning 10 look 10 the | tundra as d profitable inveStment. Thi. deal alone ought to be a great in- centive to those who hitherto have done little or nothing on their prop erty. The possibilities arc undouoted lv there, and all that is needed is q | little energy and money spent wisely during the winter months III pro,pccl- ing the ground. 50 far all those who | have done q reasonable amount of work on the tundra have been well rewarded for their pains.

What the Cayote Creek Cool Mine Owners Promise.
A RAILROAD, ALSO
Cool to Be Laid Down il Teller This Winter at SI2 a TOn-A Railroad to Be Built Next Year From the Coal Mines Direct to Nome.

The people of Teller will not have to pay more than SIP ton for coal thi~ winter, if the plans of G. H. Griffith do not miscarry. It is also probable that the people of Nome next winter Will secure their coal at similar price. An article in 8 recent issue of the NUGGET told of the discovery of ' coal veln on Coyote creek, which enters G,antley harhOr a short distance from Teller. MT. Griffith secured the coal location about two months ago, and he laid the proposi, ion before some Nome business men. They gave it favorable con>id- eration. and the work of development was begun. A tunnel loo feet long has been run into the face of the mountain where the coal outcroppings were found. A number of small veins have been cross-cut, and other tunnels crO S. GU, ting the main vein have been run. The main tunnel has been run below an iron cap formation. The coal is hard, and Mir. Griffith states that il more nearly resembles Pennsylvania anthracite than any he has seen oat- side of that state.
 Contracts have been let for taking out coal this winter, and enough will be mined to suppy the demand at Tel Ter. Coupled with the devel' p nent of the Coyote coal mine, railroad sur vey has been in progress from the mine to Teller, distance of three miles, an other to Nome by way of Gold Run and the headwaters of Snake and Nome rivers. Mir. Griffith thinks that, be. sides supplying Nome and this section with coal, an extensive area of mineral bearing country will be opened up and the railway, he believes, will be < paying proposition from the start, and coal Can probably be laid down in Nome at $lO per ten.
 Mr. Griffith will leave for the outside on the Rpanoke. He will organize 2 strong company this winter which vii! open up the claims in an extensive manner, and the work of constructing the railroad will be begun.

The Pie-maker has been informe1
that the filling of the Kent post office
is causing more trouble among the
Republican politicians than did the
appointment of the postmaster FOR
Seattle. Mr.. A A Risedorph, who
has held the office for the past four
years, is a candidate for reappoint-
ment. and it is said a majority of the
patrons of the Office favor him, bu;
the politicians say that Mr. Risedorph
bolted the Republican ticket IN par;
in 1900, and for that reason is moi
deserving of Republican recogni
ton. The Pie-maker has been In
formed that Mr.. Risedorph makes nc
bones of having bolted the ticket, sc
far as Sheriff Van De Vanter is con
cerned, but claims that he supported
the balance of the ticket from top *
bottom, with that exception. When tht
matter came before the County Cen
trail Committee for endorsement, some
of the members of the committee un
hesitatingly said that Mr. RisedOrpi
not only bolted Mr.. Van De Vanter
but he likewise worked against Gov
ernor Frink and little Billy White
who was candidate for prosecuting at
torney of this county. So much wa
said along this line that the committe,

again became his downfall. His last
escapade in Seattle was to enter into
a scheme with Colonel A. J. Blethem
to purchase the Daily Times, and
skin c. A. Hughes and - Davies
completely out of the paper, which
they successfully did The senatorial
fight among the Pops was then on and.
according to reports, Fishback skinned
Turner and Squire for some five or
six thousand dollars each and then
left Colonel Blethem with the bag 20
hold. That was one on Colonel
Blethem, for no one was ever known
to skin him until Charley FishbacK
got hold of him. Then it was, so goes
reports, that Mr.. Fishback began to
draw checks on banks in this section
in lump lots, taking care always 10
avoid criminal entanglements. He
then left for New York City to father
a great mining scheme Whether he
was successful in his undertaking
Seattleites have never learned, but
they did learn that he left this sec
ton of the country owing everybody
that he could owe and every bank
that would cash his worthless checks.
Notwithstanding this record he now
bobs up in Wyoming and is the swell
est thing in the state, and his some
what shady record at every place he
has been gives him no uneasiness at
all. 1t is by no means out Of place to
style this man Charley a fish from
way back"

indefinitely postponed the endorse.
ment business, and it is likely now
that MI. Cushman will appoint another
as compromise of the whole affair.
The Pie-maker believes that Seattle
should have a non-partisan municipal
ticket in the coming spring election.
AT present the machine of the doml-
nant party of this city is so much In
the hands of Tom Humes and his fol
lowers that it will be almost impos-
sible for the Republicans to nominate
& ticket without it either being Humes
and his henchmen, or men dictated
by them, neither of which will i'm
prove the moral conditions Of the city
to any great extent. 1t, therefore,
occurs to the Pie-maker that 1t would
be well for the citizens to look Well
to their own municipal welfare and
take time by the forelock and place
IN the field non-partisan ticket made
up VI HuoH VI eAC6lIGuC IopuCo anu un-
questionable standing in the co1n-
munity, and men who are looking for
the continued prosperity of Seattle,
and then work for their election.
Already the Grocers' Association, the
Young Mems Christian Association
members, and other similar moral
along this line and have voted to
support non-partisan ticket in the
coming spring election This meets
the hearty approval of the P1e-maker
and he therefore gives his unqualified
to the same.

said a well-known politician of this

Hon. John w. Pratt is pushing his
candidacy for corporation counsel
with a vengeance just now. Money,
moderately speaking, is no object il
the genial John only succeeds in his
undertaking. The $3.50 month that
he already gets from the city will
doubtless be spent like water in Sc
curing this big fat plum in addition
to what he already has, for if he can

his campaign escapades.

Perhaps R. B. Albertson would
make an ideal candidate for Congress,
but the Pie-maker surmises that he
would only make an ideal candidate
| for a small coterie of politicians who
are known in this city, owing to the
fact that they bolted the Republican
| legislative caucus as we'll as bolted
the nominees of the regular Re-
publican convention, both state
and county, in 1900. That Pin-
tree Bob is an acceptable, as we'd
as an ideal congressman for that class
of politicians, goes without saying, but
when it come to the rank and file
the Pie-maker believes that he does
not stand a ghost of a show In getting
one-tenth Of the Republican voters or
the county to support him in his con-
gressional ambitions. King County
wants a man in congress and she
wants him bad, but she wants man
who is broad-minded and capable OF
making his influence felt among his
fellow workers and not impress the
other members of congress with the
idea that a great stuffed frog had been
sent to the national capital to repre-
sent the safe of Washington.
And now comes the report that
Charles F. Fishback, once a strutting
political peacock of Seattle, has risen
to political prominence in the state
of Wyoming and is headed at a rapid
rate for the United States Senate
from that state. Remarkable man is
this man Charley Fishback. He can
turn more slick tricks and get out of
them, and yet hold the confidence OF
the people than any man that it has
been the Pie-maker's privilege to ever
meet before. If reports be true, Fish
back left Colorado many years ago
under a clound, and for long, long
time his whereabouts were unknown
to the officials of that state. His
troubles, however, were patched up
and he was able to go back again and
visit his friends in Colorado. He came
to Seattle and became a king bee al
once in political affairs and, while ne
really never held any big Office, he
stood we'll in line for the same, but

From the daily papers it Is learned
that Frank B. Ingersol, who was al
one time prominent figure in Seattle
politics from a Democratic standpoint
is now in Manila, and holds quite a
prominent position under Governor
Taft. 1t will be remembered that
Frank Ingersol was elected Justice OF
the peace in the free silver landslide
of 1896, and, for a time, seemed de-
stined to forge ahead and become one
of Seattle's foremost legal lights, but
like a great many men, he was not
long in Office before he contracted the
well-known disease, swell head"
which soon began to destroy his public
usefulness. Probably the feather that
broke the camePs back in his Seattle
career when a civil rights case was
brought before him for adjudication
he rendered a decision as to the con-
stitutionality of such laws, which
made the judges of supreme courts
in every Northern state rub up their
wits as to what the man could have
meant; was he crazy, or was he mere
ly looking for cheap notoriety? The
decision was overruled by the superior
court of King County, and there 1t
ended The Republican took advan-
tage of the opportunity to administer
to- Mr. Ingersol an editorial re-
buke which was reproduced by
most of the papers of the North
west, and the comment on the
criticism was so general that Mr..
Ingersol became an object or amuse-
ment and derision. He soon an
nounced that he would never again
stand for an Office in King County
and would not accept one if he was
nominated and elected After he had
finished his term Of Office, It will be
remembered that he endeavored 10
organize the Automatic Telephone
Company, which, so far as ne was
concerned, proved failure, and then
it was that he left for the Philippines.
where it is hoped he profted from his
experience in Seattle and is now a
wiser and better man.

Evidently Senator Fosters political
manouyers, as to the federal appoint
ments of this state, have been ser1-
.ously checkmated by some fine Ital-
ian hand at the national capital. Con
gress has adjourned for the holidays
and neither Hopkins, Crocker nor
any OF the Groscup satellites, who
were promised positions by Senator
Foster and his co-workers, have rs
yet received their rewards, and from
what the Pie-maker catches on the
fly much discomfort is already brew
ing in the Foster camp over this mat
ter. Rumor has it that ex-senator
] Wflson is in Washington city and Is
responsible for this delay, which, il
true, places the ex-senator IN most
enyiable position, and that too at the
political expense of Senator Foster.
Unless the senator can do something
within the very near future he is go
ing to hear from his political hangers
on, and already, if he will but put his
ear to the ground, he will hear a dis
tinct murmur of discomfort running
all down the line, which forbodes no
political good for him and his would
be running mate, Levi Ankney.
