WINDHAM BAY NOTES

Last week E. H. Patten commenced sinking shaft on the Ophir quartz claim in the Second Basin.
 A. GeFeler came down on the last trip of the Rustler. He will shut down the work at the Helvetia mine until spring.
 Wm. Gleeson has taken contract from A. Geffeler to drive tunnel on the X-Ray quartz claim near the mouth of Shuck river.
 E. E. Taylor and M. Sharp are getting ready to sink 100 foot shaft on the Jack Pot quartz claim near Lock Mary.
 Next spring the Golden River Placer Mining Company expects to put in an hydraulic lift on it's property near Ten Mile Canyon.
 John H. Kintcel and James Colbert son who were placer mining together on Spruce creek, during the months of October and November, cleaned up about S400 in gold dust. Among the lot were two nuggets, one weighing S16.4O and the other nearly SS. The larger pieces of gold found on this stream are porous and more or less quartz mixed through them, making them very pretty specimens.
 As the deer are getting scarce the wolves are getting more venturesome. One day last week while George Sutton was making the round of his traps, and when near the foot of Silver Creek mountain twelve miles up Shuck river, three hungry wolves came so close to him that he had to use his axe to keep them away. Luckily for him all three jumped on Topsy one of the dogs which accompanied him, they tore her to pieces in few minutes. In the mean time MT. Sutton started for his camp where he arrived safely. J.

Reports from the leaders of the Finn ish colony for which location has been chosen at Aurora, on the eastern side of Cook Inlet, indicate that they are making preparations for large number of immigrants in the spring. The enterprise recently incorporated under the laws of Alaska, and three of it's representatives have been on the site of the colony since October and will remain there all winter The head of the company, which is known as the Alaska Colonization & Development Compony, is Axel G. Hornborg, New York agent of a line of steamers run ming between Finland and New York. This line brings most of the Finnish immigration to this country. A large majority of these Finnish immigrants arrive in the United States without any definite purpose except the general wish to better their condition. Many of them go to work on farms or in mines. Others seek employment simply as laborers on great construction works, such as railroad building. The purpose of the immigration project which has sought field in Alaska is to give Finnish immigrants an opportun- ity to acquire farms or other property of their own more easily than they could do so by hiring out as laborers for great corporations. The chief in
 dustries of Finland are agriculture and fishing, and Southern Alaska offers Finlanders more similarity of employ ment than any other part of the west ern world, with resources far greater than at home. In the locality chosen for the Finnish colony is found a large expanse of rich land, practically un- limited salt water fisheries, excellent timber and immense coal deposits. The climate is milder than that of Finland and experiments on small scale have demonstrated that all the hardy cereals and vegetables have prolific growth. Along Cook Inlet the Finnish immi- grants will find a far richer country than they leave.
 Boys, how are your interests looked after by the "powers that be?" Let us glance over the outcropping. Who is it that is everlastingly bowling about injustice to Alaskans? Is it the pros pector, who is developing the country? Not always. The man on whom the prosperity of Alaska depends, the man in the overalls, is not continually inn petrating, threatening and petitioning. In fact he is overlooking his vital inter- ests by being satisfied with present conditions. True, it is an inherent and just feeling that they should have the privilege, of voting according to the dictates of their own conscience; but there are many things for which they are thankful, viz: telegraph and cable lines, school and other appropri- ations, and therefor we are all liable to be placidly contented; but it is encum- bent on us to keep vigilant eye on class of men Son the velvet," who would legislate for themselves at the cost of Alaska's progress. To this class belongs the man who would protect jumpers with mounted police, who would place Alaska under military authority, and who would initiate against your interest by passing such a law as is now recommended, viz; omit ting assessment work and allowing

 A 'late" copy of the Council City News-late, considering the distance it has travelled since the close of naviga- tion-contains the following curious notice: "Parties desiring to apply for the position of keeper of the water hole during the coming winter will make written application to Board of Trustees, prior to October 18th, l9O5."
 The secretary of the treasury in the annual estimate sent by him to con- gress calls for the following appropria- tions: For the government of Alaska, S53, 800; for support of reindeer herd, S15,OOO: education of Alaska Indians, s1OO,OOO. as against s5O,OOO last year; steam launch for Alaska salmon hatch. cries, S1O,OOO; supplies for natives on islands of St. Paul and St. George, s19,5OO.
 Speaking of the delegates who went to the Seattle convention, the Cinema Times said: "Carl Johansou is an amiabIe gentleman, perfectly harmless, possibly little weak. Captain Barnett is man with few friends among the miners, and poor speaker. He went to the convention as green as grass,and with gubernatorial aspirations. Mr.Nye is young attorney with no influence except his vote, and Frank ManIey could not represent the dogs of the miners who know him."
 Individual miners are doing much work and getting good results in the Atlin district this winter, according to Dr. H. E. Young, member of parliament for that section. "The most of the work" said Dr. Young, "is being done on Spruce, Boulder and Mckee creeks. On Mckee creek many miners, especial Iy those who are employed by the hy- draulic companies operating there in the summer time, have been granted lays by the latter, and they are very we'll satisfied with the returns for their efforts. Spruce and Boulder have al ways been good winter producers" Dr. Young says work is being done else where, also, but not to the same extent as on the creeks mentioned.
 Mrs. Nellie Andrak claims title to a claim on Cripple creek-a bench claim, about opposite No. below. A young man named Stack, it seems, placed couple of men at work upon the claim. Mrs. Andrek sIung cartridge belt around her trim form, shouldered rifle and set out for the claim and in- terviewed the gentlemen. They claim ed that they were only playing, and. would leave just as soon as they had their lunch, which they were then pre- pairing. The woman is said to have stated that if their was any shooting to be done about that claim she would play the leading role, and no one con- tradicted her. Mir. Stack came to the city and swore out warrant for as- sault. The court room was crowded to listen to the evidence. The jury was out but very short time when they returned verdict of guilty. The com missioner fined her the very lowest fine-S1.-Fairbanks News.

A Little Graft.

Some people who make themselves so
hoarse bowling about graft that they
have to send for a horse doctor still
nevertheless receive with an open hand
all of the government seeds that their
congressman has the nerve to frank to
them.
1t makes some difference whose OK
Is being stuck with a p%itchfork.
When we can save 81 cents by ac-
cepting garden seeds from the gener-
ous hand of Uncle Sam 1t looks all
right, but 1t seems to be u broncho of
a different color when d congressman
is able to save enough out of n $4,000
salary to buy a railroad and a steam
ship line.
OF course Il man would scorn to sell
his vote for the seeds by which he
might raise a mess of pottage, but II
Is seldom that he waxeth indignant
enough to send back the seeds. for II
he hasn't a garden himself can't he sell
them for something to his neighbor?

Letter to Councilman Barnett

Dear Sir; Our agent ought to sell
nine-tenths of the paint of his town and
region; no use to try for the other tenth.
The proportion of men, who won't take
good advice, and use the designations
paint, is about one in ten among even
owners of houses and stores aud shops
and barns and fences.
One man in ten will buy a gold brick
or green goods, if he has the money
and gets a good chance.
Devoe at 81. IS a gallon is better than
gold; adulterated and short-measure
paints are green goods and gold bricks.
Devoe saves half, more or less, of the
labor and wages of painting; it is all
paint; full strength and full measure.
There is no other such paint within ten
per cent. Ten per cent of labor and
and paint is worth saving; and ten is
the least. There are scores of paints
that throw-away half of both gallons
and labor on whiting, china-clay,
ground stone, barytes, benzine, water

gallons of nothing and look like paint
in the can; more gallons to buy and
more gallons to pay for %putting-on-
gold bricks and green goods. Here's
how they work.

Queer Things About Flames.

There is l relation between the color of flame and the energy of the com bustion causing it. The more vigorous and complete the combustion the high CT the refrangibility of the light \ flame burning in tardy and restricted way emitS rays that are red. When burning in a more complete and effec
 tive manner the emitted rays change to violet The flame of candle or q lamp consists Of I series of eccentric luminous shells surrounding central dark core These shells of flame emit light of different eolors, the innermost one-that in direct contact with the dark core-beiug red and having q tenn

Upon this and in their proper order of refranglbility are shells Of light which are orange. yellow. green, blue indigo and violet The reason that such q flame does not appear to us as nest of cones of different colored light is this: When we look upon such flame all of the rays issuing from tue diff ferent layers or strata of concentric luminous shells are received by the retina of the eye at one and the same time. This can only impress with the sensation Of neutral or white light
