Deal Completed
 For UhIer Creek
 Placer Holdings
Charlie Murray Is Heading Back to Another
 Placer Creek

Charlie Murray, Fortymile min ing man recently of the Territorial Legislature, announced today that he has consummated a deal in which his options on Uhler Creek placer ground near Jack Wade, have been sold, as well as the in- terests of the original locators oi the property, J. B Harris, Jack McHugh, and Charlie Johnson. I Murray will go back to Fairbanks tomorrow on the PAA Electra, wea- ther permitting, to pick up a drill outfit which he will take into Can yon Creek, near the Uhler Greek ground. With a drilling crew, Mur- ray plans to put down holes all winter to determine the wor h ot putting in heavy machinery at a later date.
 The Canyon Creek claims which MT. Murray has options on, 50 M number, extending 12 miles up the creek to the Canadian boundary have shown fair values for several years to men working hand placers Squaw Creek, on which a big strike was made a few years ago, is a tri- butary to Canyon Creek.
 At the head of the Canyon Greek claims is the Walkers Fork landing field, constructed this summer, and from Jack Wade to Dawson, there is a new stretch of Is miles of high way recently completed by the Al aska Road Commission.
 | "The departments handling these projects are due for lot of credit, said Murray today in the lobby oi the Gastineau Hotel.
 Those roads and fields in that country have done wonders for a promising mining section, and Il they can keep on adding bit each year. you will see ground opened tc l mining men that hasn't a hole IT it at present and yet carries good value" {"
 Murray explained that miners Ill his section, patronizing Alaskan merchants, suffered a toll ot lz cents a pound for airplane freight from Fairbanks, and 20 cents a pound for pack train freight from Eagle to Jack Wade, where for most miners, the freight journey has only begun.
 @The logical eventuality," saic Murray, "is to run road about l3l miles across country to Tanacross Such a road would open a great deaI of new country that has been proVee worth while"

OIL PLANT NOW
 NEAR FINISHED
 AT ROCK DUMP
New Location of Union Oil Gives More Gas
 Storage

It is just 75 days since the Union Oil Company started moving theil Thane road plant to their new rock dump location, and it is just one week since the company has begun business at the new plant.
 Last Wednesday, the last big oil tank was moved and now, with the addition of a new 5000 barrel storage tank, the company has tank facilities for 427,000 gallons of diesel, and stove oil, white gas, and 76.
 We hope to have the cleanup work done in about four more weeks" said T. J. Walker, Construc- ton Superintendent today. Except for the weather, the job has gone forward without a hitch"
 The new tanks have storage ca pacity of 5450 barrels of diesel oil, 2350 barrels of white gas, 40,00O gallons of 76, and 60,000 gallons of stove oil gas. The dock space cov- CTS a tatal of 10000 square feet.
 While constructing the most re- cent addition to Juneau's growing waterfront skyline, 90 percent of the building materials and 95 per- cent of the labor have come out of the Capital City
 When Mir Walker leaves for the South upon the completion of the job he will go to Los Angeles for a months vacation, from whence he will go to Portland, Oregon, for a large tank construction project there. It is twenty years since MT. Walker began pursuing his particu- lar line of business and his work has taken him all over the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

First Spoons in America
Date as Far lack as 1924

The first form of spoon which we
associate with America is the Puri-
tan spoon. writes Alice r. Rollins
in the Los Angeles Times. John
Hull Of Boston (l624-l6S3) made
such spoons. Other early silver
smiths were John Coney u655-l722)
John Edwards Q670-l79D and the
patriot Paul Revere l735-l8lS).
Spoons with fat handles, the ends
trifid or notched, were made UNI
til about 1870. The 17S0-l750 spoons
are distinguished by the rat-tail. so
called from a well-defned ridge ex-
tending down the back Of the bowl
resembling the tail of a rat. About
1850 the tail was cut of and what
we know as the drop or double drop
was substituted. Soon after this the
bowl became more pointed and the
handles turned back instead of
toward the front.
In the first part Of 100 a new
form Of spoon appeared. The handle
still bent forward but it was thicker
and more rounded at the top and
down the middle Of the front was a
decided ridge. Seventeen hundred
and thirty marks the beginning of
the bright-cut decoration. Coffin
handles belong to the first ten years
Of 1900. Then we have the fiddle
back handles with which we are all
more or less familiar.
Previous to the Revolution many
Of our silversmiths marked their
work by impressing their initials or
initial and surname. For some time
after the war, in order to satisfy
their patrons who might prefer Eng
lish silver, they simulated certain
Of the English marks such as the
anchor, the lion and the crown. That
is why we find some of our early
silver so marked.

Color of Eyes, Sunsets,
Due to Scattering Light


Blue eyes are not really blue, nor
red sunsets really red.
The apparent color is due to the
scattering Of light when the photons
hit against extremely minute par
ticles. It takes place only when the
diameter Of the obscuring particles
is small in comparison to the wave
length Of the light. For this reason
light in the blue end of the spectrum
is scattered more than light in the
red end, asserts a writer in the
Washington Star.
This principle was worked out
more than a half century ago by
the English physicist, Lord Ray
leigh.
Thus the sun appears red when
viewed through a thick smoke fog,
but white through fog In the coun-
try consisting Of water droplets. Wa
ter drops are too large to produce
true scattering. Their action is in
the nature of diffraction and reflec-
ton, which is almost equally effec-
tive for all wave lengths. Hence
water drops appear white, whether
viewed by reflected or direct solar
radiation.
Other examples OF structural col
ors, which are produced by scatter
ing phenomena are the red color of
the sunset, the colors of bird feath-
ers, the blue color of the sky, or of
SKINNED milk. This blue is now
known as Tyndan blue. There 10
no blue pigment in blue eyes and it
was pointed out by the English
physicist Tyndan years ago that the
blue Of the eye is really the blua
of turgid media and is analogous to
the blue of the sky or tina blue ID
SKINNED milk.

Cheese Is Divided Into
Two Glasses; Hard, Soft


Basically, cheese may be divided
into two classes, hard and soft. So
called hard cheese, In turn can be
subdivided into three kinds, made
respectively from whole milk, skim
milk or double cream. From that
point on the pundits can agree on
nothing except that the fInda-
mental processes Of manufacture
are about the same for all kinds.
Possibly the most celebrated proc
ess is carried on in Roquefort,
France. The cheese which bears
the name of its birthplace is made
from the milk Of ewes according to
a method said to be 800 years old.
Limburger is actually named for
a town in Belgium, but it is made in
many countries of Northern Europe
and also in the United States.
Swiss cheese, with its distinctive
"eyes," is from Switzerland. The
"eyes,''' as probably every child
knows are caused by gas bubbles
formed during the fermentation per-
iod.
Much imported cheese comes
from Italy. One popular brand is
Gorgonzola, the dictator Of
cheese" whose history goes back to
Fifteenth century Milan. Another
Italian variety, Parmesan, has held
wide esteem as a condiment ever
since Talleyrand introduced it into
the French cuisine.

the network Of lines.
These lines can be prevented or
erased only by improving the condi-
ton of the tissues themselves by
daily. nOurishment. A good rich
cold cream may be applied nightly
before retiring. The cream should
be patted in very lightly on the I'm.

taken to avoid rubbing this delicate
skin roughly because the skin Is
easily looSened and stretched, caus-

and more numerous. The use Of
cream replaces natural oil to give
the skin elasticity.

Artificial eyeiashes. devised In the

Eyes, to be beautiful, do not have

eyes, with the whites clear and the
irises sharply defined.
The sureSt way to brighten your

Indians Used Shell Money

The Indians used shell money or
wampum as their medium of ex-
change. In the manufacture of these
shell beads much patient labor and
q marked degree of skill and careful
manipulation were required. Their
manufacture was apparently not
confined to any class Of persons
among the natives. In New Eng
land and along the Atlantic sea-
board wampum was chiefly Of two
solors: The white, and the violet or
purple, which latter varied in shade
from pale or pink violet to dark
rich purple. The value of these shell
beads was determined by their color
and degree Of finish. In form they
were cylindrical, being from about
one-eight to three-sixteenths inch in
diameter, and from one-eight to
seven sixteenths inch in length.
Wampum very early became a med
ium Of exchange at fixed values be-
tween the whites and Indians, not
only in merchandise, but also in
dollars and cents.
