We have all heard that Russian riv
er is the greatest fish stream on the
North American continent and the ex
perience of Mrs. J. H. Sears bears out
the description. While visiting that
stream recently the lady decided to
jump in for a swim, and she did, but
was unable to make the slightest
headway owing to obstruction caused
! by the congested condition of the
salmon trout. To get back to the
bank she was compelled to crawl over
them on hands and knees.

POINDEXTER STILL
THINKS TOO HIGH.
G. Renjamin Poindexter, chairman
of last night’s meeting, has come to
the conclusion that cutting down the
proposed assessment of realty in the
city by one half is not quite enough
of a cut. He says he fails to see how
any greater assessment than $620,000
at two perecent is required for the
*
city’s expenses.

LIKELY WORKING TODAY.

Which are Supposed to Con

That the cyanide plant which is to j
work the tailings of the A. C. Com- !
pany’s mine at Unga has probably !
started operations today is the state- j
merit of G. K. Carter, the contractor
and biulder, who returned from Unga
on the Santa Ana after having ful
filled his contract with the owners of
the big plant. Mr. Carter built the
lighters, dredges, etc., which the
company uses for its work. When he
left the scene of operations the plant
was fully equipped and about ready
to work The tailings to be worked
over came from the mine operated by
the A. C. Company. They crushed
the ore but the values remain in the
sand to a large extent. The tailings
amount to 800,000 tons which are
estimated to contain a dollar and a
quarter to a ton, meaning a million
to the whole. There is work for the
plant for eight years. Mr. Carter is
to remain here in business.

When once the streets are graded,
And this town takes on the air
Of a camp that has grown permanent,
Of a city that 1s “there;”
When the trail is clear to Kenai Lake
Then we’ll charter Ashland’s car,
And you’ll have a picnic as the guests
Of the Famous Palace Bar.
