FISH SHIPPING;
Cargo Space Denied to Shippers in
Southeastern Alaska—One
Cargo Lost
JUN’EAU, Aug. 27, (By Mail).—
The United States bureau of fisheries
is to take steps to arrange for imme
diate shipments of fresh fish from
Alaskan ports to Puget sound. Com
plaint has been registered at Washing
ton that steamship companies operat
ing on Alaska runs are not moving
iced fish promptly, thereby destroying
the fish market, and forcing fishermen
to sell direct to the freezers at great
ly reduced prices.
The National agency had been re
fused space 04, the Farrfigux for $2,
000 worth of iced halibut, and could
get no information from the Alaska
Steamship company regarding space
on the Mariposa. The company faced
a serious financial loss in case the fish
did not go forward promptly. The
fisheries bureau agent was promptly
notified of the condition of affairs and
wired that he would investigate.
Last week space was refused Pet
ersburg and it is claimed a valuable
cargo of fish spoiled. As Petersburg
has no adequate freezer capacity,
shipments not going forward prompt
ly are a total loss.

DROWNS WHEN TAKU
GLACIER ICE FALLS
JUNEAU, Aug. 25, (By Mail).—
Cave-in of ice from the live glacier;
at laku, resulting in a tidal wave and!
causing the death of Ole Skagen, a
fisherman and resident of Tacoma,
such ice disturbances as witnessed
this week have not taken place there
for generations.
un inursnay millions oi ions oi ice'
suddenly settled and a tidal jvave at |
least eight feet high raced across the
channel and across the mouth of Taku j
river and rocked and almost tipped j
over the scows and fishing boats kept !
near the point. Ole Skagen was in his
fishing boat just off the mouth of
Taku and in the path of the tidal
wave when the boat was tipped over.
The body was brought to Young’s
Undertaking parlors. Efforts are be
ing made to communicate with the
brother in Tacoma.
The steamer Spokane on Thursday
was unable to get near the glacier, !
owing to the channel being ohoked
with ice.

MINING NOTES!
i •
An interesting experiment, which is
not without possibilities of consider
able importance to the district, is un
der way near Cape Nome where a Mr.
Holland, who represents an aggrega
tion of Oregon mining investors, is
engaged in demonstrating the feasi
bility of employing the Neil jigg con
centrator, a product of the Union
Construction Co., of San Francisco, in
the extraction of gold from the Ruby
beach concentrates. A Mr. Keene is
also concerned in the experiments and
is understood to be the owner of the
ground, which he has leased to the
Oregon people. Those who have seen
the Neil jigg express the opinion that
it is the most practical device for the
saving of fine gold that has yet ap
peared on the market, and, in addi
tion can be operated for very little
cost as the motive power is supplied
with a two-horse power motor. If the
tests prove as successful as antici
pated there will undoubtedly be a re
crudesence in beach mining which will
be of great benefit to the camp.

respectively. A portion of the vein is
much decomposed and is being sluiced
to save the gold contents.
One of the big boilers from the
central power plant of the Treadwell
Company, was shipped to Carnes
Washington, recently, where it will
be utilized in a big paper and pul]
mill.
