Paper of the Northwest
Douglas Island news., 1905-07-12

The American and the Canadian gov ernments are prosecuting great work in the Yukon basin in surveying the gold fields and the more inviting dis tricts for placer and quartz mining. The surveys are being made by topo- graphical and geological experts, and the data and information contained in the reports will be of infinite perma- nent value.
 The Ragheld Go. of New York, whose representatives here are Dr.. Lovett, of Seattle, and Mr. Hale, of Boston, have taken an option on the coal lands To- cated on the main land opposite Sand Point. The representatives are on the way out to secure machinery and sup plies to develop the property. The coal is of fine steam and caking grade.-.Nal- dez Prospector.
 Water is the great problem in the Klondike. It is demonstrated that hy- draulic methods of working the frozen placers of the camp are practicable. The time has arrived for wrestling with the water problem, and the Canadion gov .ernment is taking the bull by the horns and may establish a system that will carry as much as small river, at a cost of S4,000,000.
 The work of washing up the winter dumps at Nome is now practically completed, and as a result a sum of money, as represented in gold dust, not less than S3,OO0,O00 in amount, has been added to the worlds wealth. When Nome was first discovered it was thought to be summer" camp only. It is now apparent that it is both a summer and winter camp also. Mrs. Jack May, wife of well-known clerk in federal department at Nome, made quite fortune out of the Peter son lay. She gave one of the partners 87O0 as a grubstake during the fall, when he had almost run out of money, and when settlement. was made this year found her name affixed to check on the Nome bank for exactly S2O,OO0. 1 This was her share of the cleanup.
 During the past winter the Bartels Tin Mining Company has been operat- ing in the Cape Mountains near Cape Prince of Wales. A force of ten men was employed and electric drills were used. It can be stated that a ledge of tin ore in place and of commercial value has been uncovered, and tin pros pecting as received new impetus as result of this important discovery.
 The Indians and other salmon fisher men of Haines and vicinity are on strike. They refuse to catch fish at the rates offered by the cannerymen which is two or three cents per fishless than the prices heretofore obtaining. Previous to the present year for several years the salmon packers have paid the Indians 10 cents apiece for salmon caught with a hook and 8 cents each for those caught with nets. The dis tinction was made because the packers furnished the nets and other gear used by the Indians in seining. This year, the packers offer cents each for hook caught salmon and 6 cents for those caught with seins. The salmon can nerymen claim to be independent of the Indians this year. They rely upon their traps to provide them with all the fish they will require.

"a Wise Woman

Many women wear thin linen under
clothing in winter and then they illog-
ically complain Of red noses, enlarged
veins in the face, rough, red hands
and a dry. ill-nourished skin. Now,
the way to maintain a soft, supple
skin and clear and pinky complexion
is to keep up a plentiful supply of
blood near the surface all over the
body. A wise women knows that
nothing is more destructive to love-
~ skin than cold feet. Therefore,
even If she indulge in the vanity Of
spun silk or perforated hose, she uses
cork soles in her shoes so as to keep
up the circulation of the blood, upon
which the skin depends so largely
for it's softness and luster. Lack of
warmth in the abdomen leads to a
congested state of the liver and the
huge network of blood vessels which
control the supply of nourishnent to
the skin are situated in the abdomen
The middle OF the body should be kept
warm and free from the chills which
cause contraction of the blood vessels.

Immediate vicinity, says the Pniladel-
phia North American. A certain rail
road company bad lost enormous sums
OF money through damage suits insti-
tuted by those injured in grade cross
ing accidents. This company had
been most particular in the matter OF
erecting signs at each crossing, but
jury after jury decided that these
were of small moment, since the
warning they conveyed was to "look
out for the cars" or ''look out for the
engine" and inssalmost every instance
1t was conclusively proved that the
damage was caused by that part of
the train not mentioned. SO in des-
peration the railroad commissioned a
lawyer of wide depute to compose a
sign that would hold" in court. After
some days the following sentence,
written on large sheet of paper,
came from the man learned in the
law:
Stop! Look! Listen!" AK
Following this came a bill for $10,-
900. So when you hear some long
tongued individual boasting about a
dollar a word Mr.. Kipling gets. or the
surprising sum paid Richard Harding
Davis Tor articles describing the war

dealer in ,ant-hills, for. the lawyer
aforementioned got a check for the
amount named, and so far as history
enlightens US, no one ever before re
ceived so much as $4,000 word.
Before the end of year the lawyer
was~informed~bys the president of the
road that the new sign had saved
many times its cost.
