 The growing colony of these Rus sian refugees, whose numbers yswehed after the Siberian capital at 0msk fell into the hands of the Boisheyid, has become a problem in the clty' of Shanghai. One handicap olDa their efforts to obtain employment has been the reluctance of empl,s- CTS to give work to persons From Siberia believed to have been eXpos' cd to the Bolsheviki infection.
 Members of the colony here *h ca numbers several hundreds have es- tablished a school where English is being taught to the ncweomers. It first one or two of the colon itself acted as instructors. After few weeks, volunteer teachers came for ward and classes ar, nov being held day and night ia the shabby and cramped quarters pJorided at No. 72 Range Road. Another undertaking in the colony is ,. community feo6 kitchen.
 Unwillingness on the part of many of the Russian nc wcoGers to reCae nize the Kolehak administration as the government of Russia has kers many from registering It the Russian consulate. which, t is stated, can ex- tend aid only to Iogu',rly register ed Russian citizens.

EACePtlolidl ploSlooo Ido uoSL made at the Spider mine near Hyder by the Algunican Development Com | pany since they have decided to pros l ecute development work throughout the winter, says the Hyder Miner. This company also operates the 1 famous Jualin mine near Juneau. 1 The camp now consists of two | story bunk house, a stable, and a l power house. Power is developed at present by gasoline engine. A concrete storage reservoir has been built, and good head of water 1 obtained
 Fifteen men are at present em- ployed in and about the mine, the underground work being carried on in two shifts
 Ore shipments will commence it is expected about or just after the new year, when sufficient snow has fallen | to make a good sleigh road from the mine to the dock at Stewart.
 The Spider will then be the second mine in this district to become an active shipper since the early boom days.
 Before leaving here short time ago w. A. Meloche, managing engi- neer for the company, is said to have stated that if the development planned shows tonnage three times as large as that then in sight, there will be a million the property by next July.
 Work at the Maid of Erin copper mines in the Rainy Hollow district during the past summer has proven very satisfactory, according to Man ager R. W. Wiley, who says the mine bids we'll to become one of the best paying mining properties in the ter ritory.
 MT. Wiley's encouraging report has produced feeling of optimism in the citizens of Haines regarding the towns future and also that of the surrounding district.
 Work at the Maid of Erin has been suspended for the winter season, only watchman being retained there to look after the property. MT. Wiley states that work will be resumed in February, when a much larger crew will be put on than was employed dur ing the past summer

ALASKA MINING
 NOTES

Stone & Sullivan workings, and as the old shaft Is still in good shape the laymen will drift in from it, using the machinery as it stands ready to start up at the present time.
 Neimi and Ollikainen were em ployed by Stone & Sullivan at the time that the firm was compelled to close down, owing to the sloughing in of the workings, and as pans run ming as high as $500 had been taken from the face on the left limit side, at the time that the workings were closed, the two miners were of the belief that a paystreak could be un- covered in that direction that would be worth trying for. The present showing in the drill hole seems to to bear out their belief. and they are sufficiently well satisfied to cause them to start to open up the ground immediately.
 The Alabama Association, which is owned by Max Manager, A. R. Heilig and Swan Magnuson, adjoins the Mig gerhead Association which proved one of the greatest producers in the camp, nearly one and one-half millions hay ing been taken out of it, and it is be- lieved by many of the mining men that the Niggerhead paystreak will be picked up in the Alabama. All of the mining on the latter to date has been along the Vault creek paystreak and little has been done toward proving the ground.
 Neimi and Ollikainen have the ne cessary wood on the ground, and with everything in place to start up, the old workings will soon be the scene of renewed activity.

c. H. Mills, manager of the Good mill property at Cedar bay, who re- turned to Valdez from the mine after taking down a shipment of machinery states that extensive work will be started on the property next spring when a mill will be erected and other machinery installed.
 Considerable work has already beer done on the property, cabins, bunk house, blacksmith shop, powder house and other buildings being constructed and 717 feet of 5X7 feet tunnel having been driven. The property is a good one, and is situated about 30 miles from town on Cedar bay.
