WINDHAM BAY NOTES

e. e. Taylor has been getting some
rich specimens of ore from his tunnel
on the Jack Pot, the last month.
r. V. and R. l.. Rowe went up to Ju-
ueau last week with their sloop, after
load of supplies for their work at the
Apache group, owned by theWindham
Chief Mining Company.
e. Wisnon, who has been manager at
the Golden River Mining Company's
camp at 10 mile canyon, left for his
home in Portland, Ore, on the last trip
of the Rustler.
A. Gefeler, manager for the Helvetia
Mining Company, came down from Ju-
neau last Monday. Mr.. Geffeler
brought his family and will occupy
John Morrello's house on Second street.
Mr.. Byon, superintendent for the
Golden River Mining Company, left
here for Seattle via Juneau last Tues
day. He informed us that they had all
their dead work at 10 mile canyon COM
pleted and ready to commence shovel
ing into the sluice boxes.
Yesterday A. Jones treated the people
in the Bay to some vegetables taken
from his garden near the mouth of
Silver creek. This summer Mr.. Jones
has demonstrated that No. vegetables
can be grown on the Shuck and Silver
creek flats, which comprise about 800
acres, mostly covered with small alder
timber.
Paul Kabler has just completed
frame house on the lower end of the
Venus group of claims, about l mile
east of the townsite.
A. Geffeler, manager for the Helvetia
and Little Basin mining companies,
who has been in Seattle the last month
on business for the company, returned
last Monday on the Rustler. Within
the last three days Mr.. Gefeler has
employed all the men he could get here
and put them to work cutting out
right of way for horse tram from the
Little Basin mine to the brow of the
hill above the forks of the corduroy
road. From there the company will
put up an aerial tram to the Windham
Bay Mining Company's ten stamp mill
which has been leased to the Helvetia
Mining Company. The company has
considerable ore ready to mill and as
soon as the tram is completed they will
commence training ore and dropping
stamps day and night for the balance
of the year. Both the Helvetia and
Little Basin Mining Companies are now
under one management, their property
consists of ten claims, situated six on
the north and four on the south side OF
the Second basin. Their buildings,
large frame boarding house, bunk
house, assay Office, dwelling house ana
power house are situated in the Basin,
making it convenient to both the tun-
nels being driven with Burley drills,
one on each side of the Basin. At
present some very rich ore is being
mined from the Little Basin claim.

Among Atlm institutions is the B. A,
D. Co. That's what got the dog Tray
in trouble.
Within 100 miles east of Dawson
there are believed to be more than fifty
square miles of auriferous gravel de-
posits from % to l25 feet thick which
will WELD an average Of more than
twenty-five cents yard.
The dog nuisance inWhitehorseis be-
coming so unbearabIe that staid, law
abiding citizens have been heard to eX-
press themselves in favor of taking
stringent measures to abate it, among
the remedies suggested being wholesale
poisoning,
The Rev. Mr. Hughes, the new Meth
odist pastor at Dawson, has determin-
ed that prize fighting at the Yukon
metropolis must cease. He says he will
ascertain if there is no law on the sub
iect and if one can be found he will see
to its enforcement.
St. Michaels has at last awakened
from its long trance, and the water
front resembles the scenes which were
enacted along the beach during the
season Of 1898, when thousands of peo-
pie were attempting to build their boats
and join the great stampede to the
Klondike.
The enthusiastic reception the people
of Yukon territory have given Gov. Nc
Innes and the stirring speeches he has
delivered since his arrival in the north
suggest to Alaskans comparison of
the fitness for office of the governor of
the Yukon with that of Alaska. Com
ment is unnecessary-Skagway Alas
kan.
The Tanana boasts of highwayman
of spirit. The Lone Robber, he ia
called, uses nothing but revolver and
he makes his victims produce on threat
of being killed. He held up one man
and discovered sum less than $40. He
gave him his money back and handed
him so cent piece, saying "buy a
dring for yourself at the next road
house."
We have recently seen conclusive
evidence where Nome federal official
used his position to collect bad debts
for a client, but even in this commun-
ity, where corruption has at times run
rampant, no official had the audacity
to identify himself in his official cap
acity with a "get-rich-quick" mining
scheme like our present totem pole
governor.-Nome Gold Digger.
With the blowing in of the smelter
at Coppermount last week an epoch
has been reached in the history of this
district that has long been desired.
The mines of this district have reached
that point in their development when
they are ready to ship ore and the
smeIter for the treatment of that ore is
the next step. With this smelter at
Coppermount in operation and the one
at Hadley making preparations to start
up, the district becomes true produc-
er of minerals. Heretofore, from ne
cessity, it has been customary to speak
of the possibilities of the camps and
what they expected to do. From now
on we can speak of reality, of what is
being done; of ore taken out and treat
ed; of the production of mineral ready
for the market.-Ketchikan Journal.

An important mining deal was closed
in Seattle yesterday by the terms Of
which Mr.. C. Vey Holman, lecturer on
mining law in the University of Maine
and in Boston University, became the
purchaser of the controlling interest in
the group of mining claims on Douglas
Island, Alaska, which MIR. Holman has
had under expert examination for the
past Jew weeks. The property includes
eleven lode claims and two milIsites
and has been owned jointly for many
wears by Mrs. Holman, Mr.. w. a. Sand
ers, of San Francisco, and Mr.. W. a.
Thompson, of Boston. Mr.. Holman
has row purchased from Mr.. Sanders
three.quarters of his interest in the
mine and will Immediately organize a
corporation to take over the property
and actively develop its possibilities.
The mine is one Of the very few Alas
kan ventures that is not involved in
litigation, every inch Of the ground be-
ing held under United States patents
1t includes the famous Drumlummond
lode, the shafts of which at the fifty
foot and the 12O-foot levels are said to
be the richest on the island. The tun-
pels driven and shafts sunk on var
ious portions of the property during
the past twenty years are all in ore,
showing good values. The proximity
of the mine to Alaska's greatest gold
producer, the famous Treadwell, en-
chances the probabilities of the mine
becoming in the near future a large
and profitable producer.-Seattle
Times.
A Fairbanks dispatch to the Seattle
Times says: Since the spring cleanup
began here and the miners have been
bringing gold dust to town, there have
been no less than fifteen hold-ups. The
camp is simply terrorized by road
agents. In order to bring dust to town
safely miners and citizens have organ
lied and invariably rode in armed
parties. The citizens undertood to
form a vigilance committee, but this
was discountenanced by the federal
marshal's office previous to the arrival
of Marshal Perry. The authorities as
serted that they could handle the mat
ter. Marshal Perry recently arrived
and appointed a few more deputies.
The hold-ups, however, continued. The
people held meeting at which it was
stated that they did not wish to con-
flict with the authorities. The mines
are thirty miles from Fairbanks. The
road runs through wild country and
over this road three million dollars in
gold dust has been brought into town
on saddle horn or pack horses this
spring. The marshal's Office is incom
petent to cope with the situation on
account of lack of force. Marshal
Perry authorized the statement that
the people would have to take care of
themselves, as the law authorized them
to do. The Fairbanks News then rails
ed a subscription of S1,100 reward. A.
L. White, president of the Prospectors'
and Pioneers Association, wired to
Washington fof the aid of soldiers sta
toned at Fort Gibbon. One bandit,
distinguished by wearing blue parka,
has operated continuously. Since.the
offer of the reward there have been no
hold-ups and the one man captured is
believed to be he of the blue parka
The victims of the bandits have chiefly
been individuals.

all of Sir Thomas Brownies prose and
John Donne's poetry? And the great
English pulpit orators-Jeremy Tay-
lor, Fuller, South and Barrow-has
he mastered their sermons?
C.n he truthfully testify that he
knows all of Swift. Johnson and

Defoe, the novels Of Richardson
Fielding, Smollett and Sterne, the his

THE LAW OF FINDING.
Aqainst All Save the Owner the Find.
er's Title 10 Perfect.


In common law finding is a quail
fed source Of titles to goods and chat
tells. Briefly, the law Is that the
finder has a clear title against all
the world except the owner. The
proprietor Of a coach or a railroad
car or a ship has no right to demand
property found on his premises. such
proprietors may make, In regard 70
lost articles, regulations which Will
bind their employees, but they can
not bind the public. j,
The law Of finding was declared
by the kings bench more than q
hundred years ago (when II was the
supreme court Of common law IN
England) as ollows:
A person found a wallet containing
sum Of money on a shop moor. he
handed the wallet and contents TO
the shopkeeper to be returned to the
owner. After three years. during
which the owner did not call for his
property. the finder demanded OF the
shopkeeper the wallet and the
money. The latter refused to deliver
them upon the ground that they were
found on his premises. The hnder
then sued the shopkeeper. and II was
held, as stated above, that, against
all the WOTlu save thC o"hOAt shS ~e~'S
of the finder is perfect. The finder
has indeed been held to stand in the
place Of the owner. Thus A prevailed
in an action against B, who found
an article which A had originally
found, but subsequently lost. The po-
lice have no especial rights In regard
to articles unless these rights are
conferred by statute. Receivers OF ar
ticles found are trustees for the owner
or finder. In the absence OF special
statute they have no power to keep
an article against the finder any more
than a finder has to retain an article
against the owner. ..r.-
A finder must, however, use every
reasonable means to discover the
owner of found goods before appro-
priating them to his own use. 1t has
been declared that II the finder knows
the owner or knows that he can dis-
cover him he is guilty Of larceny In
keeping or appropriating to himself the
articles found. -......

CHAPTER xxx.

1t was Leslie Harlan's day for dis.
tributing books in the library of the
Riverside settlement. Mrs. Parsons
sat near her, sewing rapidly and stead.
lily as she talked, and at times seem
ing to stitch her words into the ma.
terial she was handling.
Does your father ever discuss busi'
ness with you, Leslie?'
Yes, indeed. He calls me his up
town partner, and insists I'm entitled
to q share of the profits"
Has he talked much about the Con
federated Machine companies?
Not particularly. Why?"
81 wondered if he knew much about
