OLD D|GG|NGS
ARE RESTAKED

On Monday morning, Mike Erceg,
Ole Fisher and Harry Williams of
Fairbanks went out to Isabel creek
and staked considerable ground.
Isabel creek heads up into Birch
hill, emptying into the flats near
Fairbanks. The creek was named
after the wife of Captain Barnette
and was staked extensively in the
early days of the camp, in the
winter of 1907-0S.
Ben Estby and Mike Erceg sunk
several prospect holes on the creek,
but found the diggings deep and
wet, and consequently abandoned
operations there, and the creek has
been open TO location for a num-
Der of years.
The success of the Howell drill
on Steele creek had a graat deal to
do with the restaking of claims on
Isabel creek.

FLOATING MINES
SOURCE OF RISK

/ CONSTANTINOPLE. - Floating
mines in the Dardanelles and Sea
of Marmora still constitute great
danger to navigation. Several ships
have been lost since the armistice
through mine explosions. The armis-
tice required Turkey 10 indicate all
mines, but it has not been possible
in all cases to give their exact posi-
ton. Minesweepers have been at
work for some time, but naval au-
thorities say it will be many months
before vessels can proceed through
the straits with safety. No navi-
cation is permitted at night On
passenger vessels lifeboat drills are
held regularly, just as in days when
submarines menaced the seas.
Even in the broad stretches of
the Aegean Sea the greatest pre-
cautions are taken against floating
mines. In certain areas passengers
are required to wear life preservers,
and narrow lanes of travel have
been marked out for pilots to follow.
But it is in the Black Sea that
the greatest danger exists. Not only
are there numerous floating mines
there, but extensive unmarked mine
fields laid Unfortunately by the
Germans. Russians and Bolsheviki.
They are a constant menace to
shipping. The steamer bearing the
Red Cross Mission TO
Rumania narrowly missed a floating
mine while proceeding to Constanza.
Often these mines are carried down
by the swift current in the Bos-
phorous Straits to the Sea Of Mar
mora, where they are an ever-pres-
ent danger to the hundreds of naval
and merchant vessels.
Naval authorities say it will be
several years before the waters of
Europe are entirely free of float |
ing mines. Many of the German
mines destroyed by Allied trawlers
we're found TO have been moored by
rope. When the rope rotted the
mines broke from their anchorages
and drifted in cany cases to the |
main line of steamer travel.

Alaska with an eight-hour Law
should stand as a mark of discredi,
against those members who con-
tributed TO that failure .Alaskans
are not concerned in the why's and
wherefores Of the failure. It is
enough for them to know that the
legislature was in session for two
months, and al the end Of that
time was unable to report that
Northern labor had been provided
with law protecting workers
against excessive hours of labor.
And this in spite of the fact that
the people OF Alaska, by an over
whelming majority, have voted in
favor Of an eight-hour day.
The eight-hour question should
be made an issue at the next cleo
ton, and only those candidates who
pledge themselves to stand by Ia
Dor should receive support at the
polls. There is no reason why
Alaska should be years behind the
rest Of the world in the matter Of
working conditions. Men who labor
IN this country are entitled to good
pay and reasonable hours, and It is
the duty Of the territorial legis-
iature to enact laws which will pre-
vent continuation of conditions
which the voters of the territory
have declared undesirable. Members
of the late legislature who failed
to do their duty in this regard
should not be returned to office.
By their action, they have demon
strated that they have small regard
for tbs wishes of the voters, as ex-
pressed at the polls two years ago,
and as small regard for pledges
made during the campaign Of last
fall, when the votes Of workers

CAN YOU BEAT 1T?

A variety OF explanations have
been offered for the failure Of the
Sixty-ffrh Congress to appropriate
money for the continuation Of work
on the Alaska railroad. The public.
of course, generally speaking, knows
that Senator LaFollette and his fill
clustering colleagues prevented the
passage of the bill containing the
railroad appropriation, together with
other important measures, but there
are those who like to believe that
Wickersham did it with his little
letter; or that it was the Guggen-
helms, or the White Pass or some
other interests opposed to govern
ment ownership. And now ocmes
the editor Of the Fairbanks News
Miner with the charge that the Ne

failure Of the appropriation by in
forming members of Congress of

Der OF Commerce went mad with
a new-thought that they had to de-
clare themselves TO a slow acting
Congress and Congress would drop
all other work until money enough
had been voted Nenana and make
each and every lot-owner or occu-
pier there rich. They were begged
with and pleaded with to keep their
mouth shut and let well enough
alone, but they were crazy to go.
and they besieged every Congress
man or ''higher-up" with kilograms
haunting them with Nenana having
busted herself in buying Liberty
Bonds and War Savings certificates;
with all and sundry being at Ne
mana only because the government
begged them to come; with the sole
duty Of the government being to
keep Nenanaites on the government
payroll. And. at the finish Of Con-
gress. they got just what they were
warned they would get-no appro-
priations, and an investigation as to
what they did with previous appro-
priations
NOW, they are handed some
thing else again-MORE THAN
HALF OF THAT WHICH THEY
ALREADY HAD is being taken
away from them, and Interior Alas
ka railroad work in the Interior
hurt just that much.
For, Commissioner Edes has
wired Engineer Browne that SIS per
cent of the money last fall allotted
to Nenana from appropriations on
hand has been taken away from
Nenana to pay obligations of the
Anchorage end of the railroad.
Thus endeth Nenana's ill-advised
attempt to rush the government of
the United States. 1t was fore
doomed when it started. 1t ended
in disaster today, and it hurts not
Nenana alone but the entire In
terror
"Advices from Nenana today by
wire tell US that $50 men were laid
off Saturday as result of this
order Of Edes, and more will be
laid off from day to day. They
have no funds there for expenditure
until new appropriations are passed,
and while there is chance that
Republican Congress will give them
the balance OF 100000 vet re-
naming from the original appro-
prlations that they may have the
more fault TO find in expenditures
On the government enterprise when
they hold their investigation this
summer, there isn't a chance of
getting a cent more until after the
investigation and report is in, if
then-and a long chance of even
getting the remaining 100000 at
the extra session"

And left the red clouds to preside

While lanely I stray in the calm sum-

To muse on sweet Jessie, the

How sweet is the brier, wi its saft

And sweet is the birk, wi it's man

Yet sweeter and fairer, and dear to

Is lovely young Jessie, the Flower

She's modest as any, and blithe as

For guileless simplicity marks her

And far be the villain, Invested Of

Wha'd bli ght in its bloom the sweet
Flower o. Dumblane.
Sing on, thou sweet mavis, thy hymn
to the e'ening-
Thou TT dear to the echoes Of CAL

Sac dear to this bosom, sac artless
and winning,

How lost were my days till met wi

Till charmed wi sweet Jessie, the

Though mine were the station o.

Amidst its profusion I'd languish In

And reckon as naething the height o.

SUCCESS AT LAST.

And who sought better name,
Though nearly starved for lack Of fooi
Yet hungered more for fame.
He knew he was an author, and
With pen Of living fire,
Before he died would say day yet
A dormant world inspire.
He kept on growing thinner, till
He reached his final peg;
But still, so bright man as he
Could never stoop to beg.

All YuK's DEPORTATION.

Tales of Long Ago previously have
told of the arrest of All Yuk, in 1892,
for violation of the Chinese exclusion
Act. He was a nephew Of Charley
Sing Lee, once King of Chinatown in
Duluth and a widely known Chinese
merchant. All Yuk's father also lived
on Garfield avenue.
It was charged by the government
that All Yuk was not a citizen, there
fore he violated the federal law when
he entered the United States. The
u. 8. court commissioner found him
guilty, sentenced him to thirty days
in the county Jail and to deportation
to China from San Francisco.
The late E. A. Tinkham took up
All Yuk's case by going before Judge
Nelson, federal judge at st. Paul, and
applying for a writ Of habeas corpus.
Lawyer Tinkham set up the conten-
ton that a conviction to serve jail
sentence and q Punishment was uncon.
stitutional, in that the man was de-
MED a jury trial. It was emphasized
that every man, accused Of crime,
had the right Of trial by jury.
Judge Nelson concurred in Tink-
hams contention and ordered the re-
lease of All Yuk. The decision was
far-reaching and attorneys at the
time believed that it invalidated the
whole exclusion Act, the penalty for
the violation not being enforceable.

PADDY M'DONNELL'S NUPTIALs.
When West Duluth was a village in
it's own right and name and growing
like the proverbial weed, from TWEEN.
ty-five to thirty years ago, the late
Paddy Mcdonnell was both active and
prominent in contracting circles. He
graded, paved and otherwise improved
more streets in the new industrial
suburb than tongue or time can tell.
His work was on the map, his name
in the papers and his money was de-
posted heavily in the local banks.

so ne set about to select his mate. His
choice fell on Miss Lottie Carroll, the
charming and pulchritudinous daugh-
ter Of Mr.. and Mrs. James Carroll,
then residents of West Duluth.
Paddy Mcdonnell and Lottie Carroll
were Joined in the holy bonds of
matrimony at the pro-cathedral.
Thursday morning, Jan. 26, 1893, BY
the late Bishop McGolrick, assisted by
FIR. Timothy Corbett.
Frank Mcdonnell, the groom q
brother, served as best man. The
groom's sister, Miss Annie Mcdonnell,
was maid Of honor. The beautiful and
imposing ceremony of the Catholic
church was used in celebrating the
union and many of Paddy's friends
were there to see.
The bride wore a travelling costume

the couple left for San Francisco, via
Omaha and Kansas City. The SEIZED.

BURNING OF HOTEL TOWER.

Hotel Tower was the first real hotel
erected in Superior after that place
was born and set to booming. It was
a brick building, worth about $50, 600
in those days, owned by Ira W. Bur.
hans of Chicago, and a veritable fire.
trap. The owner of the business in
January, 1893, was Frank Machette.
At about 1890 p. m, Jan. q, 1893,
the Hotel Tower caught on fire and
burned until it was a total loss. The
flames started from the ignition of
gas, an old jet having leaked until the
space between roof and ceiling was
filled with the inflammable sub.
stance. Whenever the firemen broke
through the ceiling, flames would
shoot out.
It was midwinter, with a stiff
northwest wind blowing, which made
fire-fighting difficult. At IL p. M, a
call for help was made to the Duluth
department. Chief Tom Smith re-
sponded by sending over a hose cart
and fire engine.
There were about fifty regular
guests in the hotel, fifteen transients
and thirty employees. There were some
very narrow escapes from death. One
young man climbed up a telephone
pole and saved his mother from the
third story. A servant, Kittie Zeweck,
was carried down ladders to safety
by fireman after he found her in

when Catholics and A. p. A. members
in Duluth were glazing and growing
at one another. There was plenty of
powder lying around and it needed
only a spark to cause an explosion.
There were men in Duluth who
actually believed the story that
Bishop McGolrick had rifles concealed
in the basement of his cathedral and
that members of the parish were
drilling at night so as to become pro-
ficient in humping off members of
the A. P. A., Orangemen from Canada
and even New England Protestants.
During his address, Father Corbett
became vehement and spoke not only
plainly but heatedly. The climax came
when the speaker declared that the
bad feeling between Catholics and
Professionals was due to "Tramp
Protestant preachers"
Great commotion followed. T. G.
Aldrich, a member of Willis "A. Cor
man Post, interrupted Father Corbett
and informed him that the campfire
was not the place for such discus
sion. Many an old Comrade talked
out loud as to his feelings and, if
memory is correct, one or two threat
ened physical action against the ag-
gresive priest who so suddenly found
himself in a kettle Of hot water, so
to speak.
Father Corbett got out Of the pre-
dicament by summarily closing his ad-
dress and leaving the hall. The Incl
dent was the fevered talk Of the town
for several days.
