m SALMON PROSPECTS FAIR
■ According io Chris Busch
f mann who arrived in town this
morning from the Santa An;
cannery, file indications ore
that the salmon canning bus
iness will have a fair season
| this year. Mr. Buschmann is at
the head of the Northwestern
Fisheries Company’s- manage
ment and is just completing a
lour of inspection of the com
pany’s plants in the north,
having been as far to the West
Avard as Ghignik, on a trip last
ing from May 12 to the present
time. “The canneries t'o the
Westward are about average
in their packs” said Mr. Busch
mann, “the only one that is a
head being our plant at Orca
which has perhaps ten per
cent, more fish up at this time
0 than it had a year ago. The run
W in the Icy Straits region and at
1 W rangeli is below the average,
however, and ti e canneries af
fected will be away behind
their average packs unless the
unforseen happens and a heavy
run of late fish appears. Of
course it is too early to form
any idea of any kind on this re
gion, but I am pleased to hear
that the run of red fish is a
little ahead of the ordinary
both in numbers and date, al
though the probabilities arc
the run of pink fish may n'ot be
up to the. average.
“Of course I have been away
too long and too far from the
markets to be able to have
more than a general idea of
conditions, but it is my opinion
that the market for canned sal
mon is in a more healthy con
dition today than it has been
for some time, although I do
not expect to see the price go
over seventy-five cents for
pinks. The stocks are low to
day, with practically no fish re
maining in first hands because
the price has been low enabling
the poorer classes to purchase
same, and if it goes over the
price mentioned there is a
danger of destroying that mar
ket and leaving the stock in the
hands 'of the producers.”
Mr. Buschmann left for Hunt
ers Bay cannery on the Bar
bara this morning and will go
from there to Quadra, return
ing to Ketchikan in time to
catch the Northwestern for the
south.

SOMETHING NEW IN
IRONING BOARDS
\V. J. Sully, carpenter, has
evolved something new in the
ironing board line which should
attract the attention of the
housewives of the town. R is
fastened to the wall by a
bracket hinge which is easily
disconnected when the board
is not in use. This makes the
board absolutely solid so that

COMPLIMENTARY DANCE
A complimentary dance was
'tendered the Misses Orchard
by Mrs, Will Patching las*
night at Moose Hall. The af
fair was a successful one, all
of the big crowd present hav
ing a good time.
WHAT HAS BEEN SETTLED?
It is announced by the med
iators at Niagara Falls that a
practical settlement of all of
■the strife between the United
States and Mexico has been
reached. The mediators will
take a recess, awaiting title out
come of efforts by represen
tatives of the two Mexican
factions to solve the internal
problems of Mexico. Until this
is done, 'the task of the med
iators will not be considered
finished.
The bewildering thing about
it all is, what has become ol
the ostensible ends to be ac
complished by our armed in
tervention? The situation, so
far as the United States and
Mexico are concerned, is back
precisely where it was when
the Tampico incident occurred,
save that our little army is still
at Vera Cruz, but only to be
withdrawn therefrom.
By the terms of the protocol,
signed last week, the United
States withdraws from its de
mand that the Mexican govern
ment salute the flag, the fail
ure to do which was the ex
cuse for our occupation of
Vera Cruz; withdraws all
claims for damages for its cit
izens or idemnity for itself for
t'he expense to which it is Put,
and agrees to recognize any
provisional government which
may be set up in Mexico by a
greement of warring factions.
But if no such agreement is
reached— and 'there seems light
chance that they can agree,
for Villa is yet to be heard
from—what practical results
have followed from our orig
inal warlike move?
So far as concerns Mexico’s
internal affairs, peace seems
fully as remote as it ever was.
will probably have to fight it
out to the end. But why dir’
we ever get into the mess, only
to back out now?—Ex.

’TWflS UNINTENTIONAL
The attention of the Miner
Man has been called to the fact
that mention of Mayor Harris’
participation in the Patriotic
Exercises at Red Men’s Hall
had been omitted in Monday’s
paper. We are very sorry 'that
such was the case, for in the
hurry and bustle of getting the
big “write-up” of the celebra
tion into shape Monday mention
of the Mayor’s address was
left out without our intending
so to do. A large part of the
credit for the success of the
celebration is directly due
Mayon Harris who worked long
and hard on the same, doing
his share as he always does in
all public affairs. This paper
regrets the oversight and glad
ly 'takes this opportunity to so
state.

STRAWBERRIES
FROM THE SKEENA
Some of the local stores were
in receipt of consignments of
strawberries from the Skeena

the fact that they are far ahead
of the Washington berries we

USE THE GREEN CAN
The attention of the public is
called to the garbage cans the

quest is made that we make
use of them. It is just as easy
to carry that old envlope or
piece of orange peel to one of
the boxes and deposit i’t there
in as to throw it down on the
sidewalk or in the street, and
you wifi do it if you are inter
ested in the town in which you
live. The thanks of the com
niunity are due 'the ladies of
the Civic Club for their inter
est iif the matter, and the very
best wey we can show our ap

lignite coal reserves of the Ron.

mated by the United States Ge

10,000,000,000 tons, which ex
ceeds by nearly 3,000,000,00(1
tons 'the estimate made a few
years ago, on the information
then available, of the total
quantity of 1 ignitic coal in the
Territory. The new estimates,
which are very moderate, in
dicate 'that the quantity of coal
availible in the Bonilield re
