SWIM STRIKE
CmilS MIES
Nl«n Are Quitting Work and Out
put Will be Greatly Re
duced.
The number of miners who
have left Valdez the past ten
days, since the news of the strike
has seriously crippled the min
ing companies operating in this
section and the output of the
mines will be greatly reduced
thereby.
Nothing can stop the old time
stampeder, as the news of $25.00
pans comes in, but investigate
for himself and he always hopes
that the nekvs is true, but is
ready to be disappointed as us
ual.
The officials of several the
companies, now operating, con
sidered sending to the states for
men, but they realize that those
who come north, traveling on the
same boat with a hundred stam
peders, are almost sure to trail
behind and the company will be
out the transportation.
The Caineron-Johnson compa
ny have been especially hard hit
by the stampede and have been
forced to slow down on the work
at the mine.
COMMISSION AUTO
ARRIVES FAIRBANKS
Leaves on Return Trip Tomorrow,
Bringing Col. Richardson,
Head of Road Commission
The Road Commission automo
bile, which left Valdez Monday
morning, July 28th, Reached
Fairbanks yesterday morning at
10 o’clock. The chauffeur did not
make any effort to make a fast
run in, as he was not only un
familiar with tlie road, but the
machine had just been received
from tile factory on a rush or
der for the commission.
Col. Richardson, chairman of
llie Road Commission, is now in
Fairbanks and will leave the in
terior town tomorrow on the au
tomobile and will go lirst to
Chitina and then come back to
Willow creek and on to Valdez,
in the dispatch received by the
Prospector from the Colonel it
does not indicate that the Colonel
would endeavor to make a record
run, but rather that he was in
terested in making an inspection
of the road so that it may be
placed in condition for automo
biles running from the coast to
Fairbanks.
PORTLAND GIRLS COME
TO WORK IN CANNERY
The Carlson Cold Storage
company, owners and operators
of the Taku Harbor, has import
ed over a score of American girls
from Portland to work in the
cannery this summer, taking the
place of the Indian women who
usually are employed at labelling
and packing. The importation
of the Hose City grls is an inno
vation in the salmon packing in
dustry in southeastern Alaska.
Other cannerymeu say they will
follow the example of the Carl
son people.
Taku Harbor, at the present
time, is the mecca for great sal
man activity and the shores are
dotted with campe of fishermen.
The Carlson plant is running to j
its full capacity and a heavy
catch is being .taken from the
waters in that vicinity.
Next Saturday night is ladies
night at the TiHikum Club, with
Mrs. George Treat and Mrs. E.
Ik. Wheat as hostesses, who have
planned for a very pleasant ev

STAMPS
wn
Mill 4s Being Tested Out—Short
age of Labor Felt By the
Company.
The stamp mill freighted
across the Shoup glacier last
winter by the Uameron-Johnson
company, is now installed on the
claims and for the past few d'ivs
| has been running and Ihe stamps
have been dropping. Several
minor changes have been neees
vary and the short runs so tar
made, have been in the nature of
tests of the machinery and of
the water power plant, which
furnishes the power.
Development work on the
\claims has also been pushed and
a large amount of high grade
ore has been blocked out, enough
to run the mill for many months.
No cleanup has been made as
yet, nor will the plates be clean
ed until the mill is running reg
ularly.
The company has been handi
capped because of the labor
shortage and they have found it
impossible to secure as many
miners as they desire.
