Natives flout oil putts of interior Al
aska recently gathered at Oossjuckel,
where a pig potlatch was held, emu
native Who UaU the good lor! une to
secure silver luxes out mg 1 he .summer
valued at between fUJhlvi and $4,vlUU

Miners who discovered the vein of
coal ul the bottom of their shufl oil
L'uonouu creek, Ituby district, have
sunk about fen feet into the vein and
report that it is about thirty feet wide.
The coal when ested in ituby was
found lo bo of high quality, burning
freely and leaving but little ash. The
lind of coal in tluit district is it God
send to the minors as it will enable
them to secure fuel ut reasonable rates

The Deep Sea Salmon Company will
establish a cannery on Knik Arm at
the headwaters of Cook Inlet early
next spring. A gang of fifty workmen
■will leave Seattle on ft steamer some
Time near the end of March to erect
the buildings and install the plant. Thu
p’ mt will have a capacity of 80,001
cases per season. The cannery will
hove the distinction of being the forth
e i north of any cannery on the Al
askan roast. It will cost about $50,000.
The European war has resulted in
t reating a big demand in England for
fish from the Pacific Coast. The
Grand Trunk recently sent a ship
ment of halibut direct from Prince
Hupert across Canada to England
and the dealers found the venture
very profitable. The fish arc reported
to have been pronounced by British
dealers to surpass anything ever be
fore received, and believe that It will
result in anin creased demand for Al
aska halibut and salmon.
For violation of tho Federal laws in
regard to fishing on Sundays the
Glacier Packing Company was iiued
$100, and the Takit Canning & Cold
Storage and the Alaska-Pacific Fish
eries Co., each pay $250. Judgo Jen
nings allowed the companies forty days
in which to file exceptions.
A quantity of Hitko spruce seed was
recently secured from tho Prince Wil
liam Sound district to fill an order from
the government of Denmark for ex
perimental purposes. As the climate
end soil of Denmark are similar to this
part of Alaska there is reason to sup
pose that the Hitl^i spruce will be
found adaptable. Should tho experi
ment prove a success it will result ir
large areas in Denmark leing reforest
ed to replace tho logged-off black spruce
as well as to raise the standard of saw
timber.

pened along and offered the judge i
lift into town that night instead o
I wailing until the next morning wliei
the stage would finish the trip Whet
the committee learned that Judge Hun
