DOUGLAS WILL
INSTALL COLD
STORAGE PLANT
_
DOUGLAS. May 3.—Douglas has at
last realized the immensity of the
fishing industry of the field contigu
ous to her, and is going after a por- ^
tion of the business in connection
therewith. Work will begin next Mon
day on the city dock where a cold
storage plant will be located, the di
mensions of which will be 21 by (>i
feet. “Big Jim” McDonald who built
wharves and bridges for the \N hite
Pass company for twelve years, has
been employed to operate the city
owned pile driver and as there is a
good supply of piling on hand it is
expected that the wharf will be ready
for the building and the latter ready ;
for receiving fish within six weeks
time.
C. P. Morgan of Juneau, who is ar
ranging to handle all the fish that is
offered, states that he has all ar
rangements under way and will be
in position to conduct the business as ,
soon as the building is finished. Prices
paid here will be the same as at the
other fish markets on the coast ot
Southeastern Alaska.

An amusing incident occurred in the
Territorial House recently when Chief
Clerk Zeigler began to read Bill No.
34 for the abolishment of fish traps.
The first line starts off. “It shall be
unlawful for any dam, fence, etc.
Zeigler, who is an excellent reader,
completely overlooked the first com

lawful for any dam fence.” and then
the roars of laughter of the members
interrupted the reading.
i MINING NOTES!
A.— >"4
Cache creek, northwest of Anchor
age, claims the honor of being the
most extensive placer field south of
the Alaska range, in the territory, and
to have the largest output.
A report from Immachuck states
that everybody in that section has'
been busy this winter and that the
miners are greatly encouraged by the
developments.
A decided revival of interest in the
Tolstoi district is reported as the re
sult of a new strike recently made on
Iron creek, a tributary of Madison
creek. A hole sunk to bedrock dis
closed pay running $1 to the foot. A
small stampede occurred and the
creek has been staked from one end
to the other. Five prospecting boil
ers have been taken to the creek
within the past few days.
Barney Coggins, who is operating
on No. 13 Dexter, has a small block
of ground containing good pay block
ed out. He will proceed to lift the
pay out of this and continue prospect
ing at the same time.

( apt. Crane is authority for the
statement that Jack Shropshire and
Oliver Anderson struck pay in the
bottom of the prospect shaft recently
bedrocked. They are working on the
Shropshire Fraction on Doorman at
Ruby. From the same source it is
learned that good prospects have been
found on a new creek, a tributary to
Ophir creek.
(ieorge Pulver, a mining man. has
taken over a copper property one mile
from Sulzer, which has been operated
previously. Mr. Pulver now has a
force of men at work constructing a
dock and will be making ore ship
ments this season.
——
Andy C.arbin, who some time ago
located 21 claims on Central creek,
in the Nome district, is reported to
have struck rich pay on the ground.
The ground has been prospected be
fore, but nothing was found worth
staking. Central creek is a tributary
to Squirrel river.
