IN WOOD.
The Old Violin Makers and the Nate
rial They Used.

rial They Used.
The grca: violin makers all lived
within the compass of 80 years. They
chose their wood from n few great tim
bers felled In the south Tyrol and
flcated down in rafts-pine and maple,
sycamore, pear and ash. They ex-
amined these to find freaks and veins
and freckles. valuable superficially
when brought out by vanishing.
They learned to tell the dynasty of
the pieces of wood by touching them.
They weighed them. they struck them
and listened to Judge how fast or how
slow or how resonantly they would
vfbrate In answer to strings. Some
portions of the wood must be porous
and soft, some close of fiber. Just the
right beam was hard to find. When
found, 1t can be raced all through the
violins Of some great master and after
his death In some of his pupils.
The piece of wood was taken home
and seasoned. dried In the hot Brescia
and Cremona sun. The house of Strad-
i~varius, the great master of all. is de-
scribed as having been as hot as an
oven. The wood was there soaked
through and through with sunshine.
In this great heat the oils thInned and
simmered slowly and penetrated far
into the wood until the varnish became
a part of the wood itself.
The old violin makers used to ave
every bit OF the wood when they found
what they liked TO mend and patch and

be made to plaster anything in sight where pay might happen to be struck by other men, for these blanketers are doing no developing. For instance, one of their notices reads: "A l60- acre tract, situated on the banks of Boring sea, at the east of the mouth of Penny river" The other notices are just as vague with regard to local sur roundings.
 Geo. V. Borchsenius, clerk of the district court, and Judge Moore's inti- mate friend, is another official who be- lieves in blanketing. He has staked lG0 acres of the rich benches on the left limit of Anvil creek, and the peo- pie whose ground he has plastered are complaining bitterly of the cloud on their titles.
 Alfred $. Moore, U. $. district judge, when interviewed, professed complete ignorance of any jumping on the part of his officials and associates. Regard ing McGinn, whom he is understood to be advocating strongly at Washington, D. C., to replace Colonel Grigsby as district attorney here, he said:
 "If John McGinn has staked ground it is because the assessment work was not done' When assured that much of the ground located wholesale by McGinn, ct als., had had the assessment work done and was in no sense open for relocation, the Nome court retorted: "If there is an honest man in Alaska, it is McGinn. All the same, if any of these people can come into this court and show that they have done their as- sessment work, they will get justice.' When it was pointed out that McGinn's locations constitute cloud on numbers of small locations where men have lived and worked on the ground year after year, and that it is not the act of an honest official to force working min CTS into court to show title to their own ground Judge Moore's only answer was: 'Let them come into court and these miners will get justice"
 Several of the miners, when inter- viewed said: "We are poor men and cannot afford to fight gang of lawyers and officials. We have worked for several years and made bare living, now they have banketed our ground, and just as soon as man strikes it rich, the whole push will be down on him."

 CLAIM s A Remarkable Letter in San Francisco Paper. THELAND GRABBERS'
Work Seems to be Commended by AuthOrity--View of What

Special Correspondence s. F. Bulletin

Especial correspondence B. Y. buIitliHJ
 Nome, Aug. 29.-With surprise and indignation claim owners are awaken ing to the fact that the country is be- ing blanketed wholesale for speculative purposes, and as a consequence titles are being ruthlessly clouded, and min CTS can no longer find bit of vacant ground to locate, though vast tracts are lying idle.
 The chief offenders are court house officials and clique of lawyers who, without leaving their comfortable off ces, have grabbed up vast tracts of territory at the cost of a few dollars for hired locators. Absolutely without re- gard to whether the ground was open or not, the members of this official gang have been clustering with their locations almost the entire coast of Bering sea, between Cripple and Nome rivers, and some of them have even staked l60-acre tracts on creeks where every inch of ground is already hotly contested. Fired by official example many big companies are blanketing broadcast, and endless litigation must inevitably ensue.
 John l.. McGinn, who has twice been acting district attorney here, figures on this years records as the biggest off. cial jumper in the country, in conjunc. tion with the following lawyers and of ficials: H. Y. Freedman, Thos. White Jos. T. Beeman, w. N. Landers and M. J. Sullivan. In the Nome record CTS office are 5l locations, all filed or one day by these men, who have no, been on the ground themselves, but have located solid block after block of l6O-acre tracts by two agents, F. J Monroe and T. B. Fay. They have blanketed over sO,OOO acres of land ir the vicinity of Nome, and their location notices read so vaguely that they could

THE CASE OF
 THE ESKIMO An Early Settler Writes of the Quartz Creek
 Colony.

EDITOR NOME NUGGET-I read in your columns an appeal to public charity in behalf of Eskimos now stay ing in d kind of colony or reservation this gathering large number of Es- kimos zoo are expected to be there) in one settlement, is very liable to make them public charges, not only for this winter but for the future.
 When white settlers first commenced to flock to this part of Alaska, in 1898, the Eskimos were living all along the coast in small settlements, containing from dozen to thirty people. This scattering of the villages was neces- sary on account of their three staple articles of food, seal, salmon and tom cod, not being found in sufficient num- Der in any one place to support large colony anywhere. These three staples of Eskimo diet are here in just as great numbers as ever. White men do not hunt the hair seal along this coast, and the amount of tomcod and salmon that are caught by the white settlers is as a drop in the ocean compared with the schools of fish that visit this coast.
 Besides, in one regard, the increas- ing number of white men is a boon to the natives. Whereas, formerly their only way to dispose of their ivory, skins and muckluks was by trading them to some whaling captain for whatsoever they could get, they have now large market for their goods, and receive probably ten times as much as previous 1 ly. Therefore, they ought to be just as we'll able to support themselves now as before white men invaded the cOun- try, but not by gathering 200 Eskimos on one spot. And the question of fuel will be another serious matter for the Eskimos at Quartz Creek. The best way seems to be to persuade them to return to their old homes, where there are plenty of houses built of drift logs; for example, in Sinrock and other l rivers, from Golovin bay to Port Clar- ence. There they will still be able to find fuel enough for the limited num- Der in each settlement.
 Of course each little colony must be supplied with sufficient food to last them through this winter, together with the seal and fish they will be able to catch. Then if they could be pre- vailed upon to visit Nome only for a short period for trading, either in the early spring before the salmon arrives, or in the fall after the run is over, and return to their old homes for the win ter, they might still continue to be of some value to themselves and us, and not become q nuisance and burden. If we commence to show them that they can neglect their work, fishing, etc , waste their money, and still be taken care of, they will soon lose all energy and self reliance and besides be bad example to other natives, and tempt them into the same lazy, good-for- nothing life.
 Help them through this winter, but let them return to their old homes, where they can make living and have houses. At Quartz Creek they have very little prospects of supporting themselves, either now or in the fu- ture. AN EARLY SETTLER.
