GOV. CORNWELL OF
WEST VIRGINIA
(From the New York Times.) }

(From the New York Tmes.)
My communication is somewhat be-
lated, but want to congratulate you
on the editorial in your paper of Au-
gust Is, when you so ably commented
on the reply of Governor Cornwell
of West Virginia to the Federation
of Railway Employees who had asked
him for his support in favor of the
Plumb plan for the naturalization Of
the railroads. I am glad you gave so
much prominence to the reply. In
refusing to accede to the demands
his answer was dignifed and courte-
Gus, and was couched in terms
which the simplest could hardly fail
to understand. Furthermore, his at.
titude was one of extreme friendli-
ness to labor.
Nevertheless, it was the boldest
and most fearless utterance against
the half-baked theories of govern
ment experiments that would-be lead

MATERIAL GANG
 7 STARTED TODAY

A force of men, to be known as the material gang, under former Section Foreman Nick Bryan, started work yesterday on the grade near camp 415.
 The work of this gang consists in unloading the railroad material which is being sent across the river in daily increasing quantities, for use on the Fairbanks end of the rail road later on.
 The stuff is being sent now so that there will be an ample supply on the other side of the water be- fore the breakup.
 All of the remaining narrow gauge rolling stock will also be sent across the river immediately.
 The train operating on the ice and on the grade beyond is busy all the time now hauling railroad material for future use, and it is expected that the entire quantity figured on for the work on the Fairbanks line will be sent across on the trains.
 Teams will be used for the pres ent, to distribute the material along the right of way from camp 415.

QU|GLEY ARRIVES FROM KANT|SHNA
 ON BUSINESS TRIP

MT. and Mrs. J. B. Quigley ar rived in town yesterday with their dog team, and will probably remain here for a few days. This is MT. Quigley's fourth, and his wife's third trip to an Alaskan town from the Kantishna district, where they had settled early in 1905.
 The Quigleys left their camp on the ridge between Friday and Eu- reka creeks on the morning of February 21, and camped out three nights enroute, arriving in Nenana yesterday afternoon.
 Joe Quigley is one of the best known mining men of the Kantishna region, and aobut the best informed of any regarding the resources and possibilities of that highly mineral ized region Joe has been in the North continuously since 1891, and has followed the mining business in various parts of the country.
 He went into the kantishna dis trct early in 1905, being one of the first men to go into that region. He established his camp on 14 above discovery on Glacier creek, and has worked on Glacier and Caribou creeks, both of which are tributaries of the Bearpaw river.
 The bigger possibilities in quartz mining then presented themselves to MT. Quigley and in 1913 he turned his attention to this branch of min ing and prospected for quartz in various parts of the district with more or less success, doing consider able work in this connection.
 He is now working on the ridge between Friday and Eureka creeks ana naS done great deal O1 pre- liminary work toward developing the valuable quartz claims lying in tiiis section. He has driven over TOO feet of tunnels besides sinking several shafts and doing much open cutting to trace the leads dis cover '
 Joe Quigley has an abiding faith in the future greatness of the Kan tisha country, and is very optimistic over the mining outlook. His long residence in the country, despite adverse conditions and the almost prohibitive cost of all kinds of SUD- plies, due to the extremely poor transportation facilities, bears elo- quent testimony of his faith in the district With proper means of transportation, he says, that the vast resources of the region can be de- veloped very rapidly and that it will add, in very large measure, to the wealth of the Northland.
 During his long residence in the Kantishna, Joe Quigley has traversed it's entire length and breadth, not only in pursuing the elusive pay streak in it's placer deposits and in following it's likely looking quartz leads, but in various and sundry hunting and trapping expeditions. He is therefore well acquainted with the entire district and is in posi- tion to give very valuable informa- tion which will lead to the ultimate development of that richly mineral ized district.
 It is a we'll known fact that game abounds in the Kantishna region and moose and caribou are seen more frequently and in greater number in that region than in any other part of Alaska. This has been of great help to the pros pectors and miners of the district, who have, almost entirely, depended on the game for their meat supply.
 Both MT. and Mrs. Quigley were greatly struck with the appearance of the town of Nenana and its growth. Nenana was not much of

Razors of Glass.

The method adopted in the manufac-
ture of glass razors was quite inter-
esting. A cylindricaf piece of vol
canic glass served as a core, so to
speak, from which thin flakes (some-
what resembling modern razor blades
in shapeJ were skillfuily Clipped off.
This was often accomplished in such a
way that the resulting blade had two
beveled edges, very keen and sharp. for
its entire length. Such razor blade
had cutting edges that kept their
sharpness quite as long. it Is likely. as
the steel tool of today. And when 1t
became dull there was no necessity for
sharpening it. All that had to be done
was to knock off fresh flake length
wise of the core), which was already
as good as honed and stropped. This
glass cylinder served the same purpose
as one of the new-fangled shaving sets,
In which a supply of extra blades is
furnished, in order tha6 the man who
shayes may escape the trouble of strOp-
ping and honing.
