STATE NEWS NOTES.


f. B. Walker of Ruby, Alaska, who
is visiting relatives in Wallingford
gives interesting accounts of his ex-
periences in the territory where he
has been for the past II years. He has
been in Ruby, which is on the Yukon
river and nearly the exact center of
Alaska, for three years, where he oper-
ates a placer mine, and employs about
60 men. Mr.. Walker owns the third
largest nugget ever found in Alaska.
1t weighs ~ pounds. 1t was found
in the "clean up" in the mud and
dirt taken from the bed of the river.
The actual value of the nugget is
81 ,914 but Mr.. Walker has been offered
$4,000 for it on account of its unusual
size. He went to Il ball game on June
2l last, which was started at midnight,
it being light during the entire "a
hours. The thermometer ranges from
80 degrees above to So degrees below
zoro but the average winter days are
similar to those of Vermont. Caribou
abound in large numbers, it being no
unusual sight to see herds estimated
at from 100000 to 100000 migrating
southwark in the fall. On account of
the long days during the summer,
gardens planted in May or June will
mature in six weeks. Mr.. Walker will
visit relatives in Ohio before return
ing to Alaska i'll the spring,

The Marshall House, one of the old
est summer hotels on the Maine coast
known to visitors from all parts of

cupied only by caretaker. The loss
is estimated at 100000, part of which
is covered by insurance. The cause Of
the fire has not been determined.
Plumbers had been at work in the
house during the day under the direc
ton of Frank B. Marshall of Portland,
the managing owner. They left about
clock and it was not until two
hours later that the fire was discover
ed.

MIXED BLOOD IN MEXICO.
Mistake to Think There Is Strong In
fusion of African.

There are still numbers of Ameri-
cans who are under the misapprehen-
sion that the Mexican is some kind of
negro-or, at least, that there is a
strong infusion of African blood, as
in Haiti. Nothing could be farther
from the truth, writes Alexander
there less African blood in Mexico
than in the United States, in proper
ton to the population, but there is
less even after you have eliminated
our Black Belt.
Many better informed persons refer
TO the native MeXicans as Indians.
But they are not Indians-as we
know Indians. True, here and there
in the mountainous regions are found
tribes of semi-savages who compare
with the native people of what is now
the United States. But they figure in
national affairs little more than our
own pure blood Cherokees, ct al, fig
ure here. When the Spanish conquer
or came, the bulk of the aboriginal
