MINERS LEAVE
MR GOLD KING
Contractors Start for Property—Will
Drive 250 Foot Tunnel to Tap
BJg Lead.
John Oura, L. Graurous, C. J. Lar
son and L. Lindgren, the miners who
have taken a contract to drive 250
feet of tunnel on the Gold King
claims at Shoup bay, left for the
property yesterdaj. Kai Yamasaka,
who has been cook for the Gold King,
left with the mineis to attend to the
culinary department.
Charles*'Kraemer, secretary of the
company, let the contract 1 and the
tunnel, when Completed, will tap the
Mg'lead which Shows upon the sur
face. ' A depth "of' several hundred
feet will be secured and when the
lead is tapped it is expected that a
large body of high grade ore will be
uncovered.
The property is considered as one
of the best in this section and min
ing men predict it will outrival the
Cliff when the development work con
templated has been completed. Supt.
Charles Crawford took out $20,000 in
gold the past season and much high
grade ore was left in the bunkers
which could not be worked because
of the freezeup which shut off the
power, as the mill is operated by wa
ter power.
WOOD IS DYED
IN LIVING TREE
Staining wood by inoculating the
growing tree with dye fluids is an in
dustry described in the Independent.
The staining solution is introduced
into the tree by holes bored through
the trunk near the ground, and the
color spreads with the flow of the
sap. The liquid is absorbed very
rapidly. A Scotch fir was known to
take up three gallons in two days.
When a tree so treated is cut up
it is often found to be beautifully
veined. This is particularly true In
the tropics, because of the rapid up
ward rush of the sap at certain sea
sons.
Only dyes soluble in water will
serve, and many of these are use
less. One per cent solutions have
been found to be the best, and the dye
best suited to each wood must be de
termined in advance by experiment.
“Birch was splendidly colored,” the
article says, "by malachite green and
methylene blue, yet eosin produced
a very streaky effect. Eosin is not
fast to light, another objection. Ani
line chloride reacts with the lign'tim
of the wood to produce a beautiful
yellow. In fact, many chemicals not
in themselves dyes, are suitable, be
cause they act on the compounds in
the wood to form colors. A splendid
salmon-red may be secured by us
ing para-phenylenediamine. Tannic,
acid acts In a different way. After
it has penetrated the wood thorough
ly the tree may be cut and sawed in
to boards and fumed with ammonia
just as oak, chestnut and any wood
■naturally1 containing tannic acid is
fumed. Treated with potassium ditch
romate, a rich brown results with a
wOod which has 'previously absorbed
tannic acid. Thus cheaper woods may
be made to equal the more expensive
oak in appearance."

and balls, also automatic pinsetter.

THUNDER STORM
ITS VALDEZ
Few Timid Valdez Citizens Feared
That Mexican Gunboat Was
Firing on Ft. Liscum.
Valdez was visited at noon today
by a lightning and thunder storm,
which, while it lasted but a few min
utes, is such a rarety here, that the
people of the town were for a short
■time unable to understand what was
causing the noise. Many thought it
'was a number of snow-slides caused by
the recent heavy fall of wet snow,
hut when they looked toward the west
and saw the flashes of lightning then
'they recalled the storms of childhood
days in the states and knew what was
causing the disturbance.
A few feared that a Mexican gun
;boat had entered the harbor and were
firing at Ft. Liscum and would soon
land greaser marines in Valdez and
loot the town, but then again the
memory of Marshal Scott and Night
“Watchman Larson soon reassured the
.timid, who felt safe with Scott and i
Larson on the job, and Brenneman,
Bouse, Dowling and the rest of the
Democratic' federal brigade in re-1
serve.

We hope the women will awaken
to the fact that humanity is the same
today as it was before the legisla
ture met in 1913. New laws are not
going to make new men and women.
Moral suasion will do more to make
better men and women than all the
