DOUBLE OUTPUT
OF SALMON TO
WEST EXPECTED
The opening of new canneries on
the Alaskan peninsula is expected vir
tually to double the salmon output ot
that section this year.
Supplies and crews for two ol those
new plants were carried by the stt-urn
cr Victoria, which sailed from Seattle
early in the season tor L nalaska and
points around on the northern end of
the peninsula as far as llercndeen
bay ami Port Moller. The prospect
of higher prices for meat is directing
attention more than ever *jeforo to
the opportunity for profit in the far
northern salmon country.
The Victoria’s cargo included 1 >M)
tons of coal for delivery at t nalaska
for the Alaska Commercial company.
Nearly two hundred men will bo
employed by the cannery thai is to bo
opened up on Herendeon bay by the
Phoenix Packing company.
The other new plant that is to be
supplied from the cargo of the Victor
ia is the cannery of the Sock eye Sal
mon company.
The Phoenix Packing company’s
plant is the second cannery to be es
tablished on Herendeon bay. A third
plant is soon to open at the same
place. Within a radius of thirty-five
miles there are three other canncm-s,
two at Port Moller and one on NV
son lagoon.
Mining Notes
Charles Martin, a prominent mining
I man from Los Angeles and Mrs. Mar
j tin are on their way to the Willow
creek district. Martin was formerly
interested in mining in the Nome
country and built the 40-mile ditch
from lnmechuck river for the Fair
haven Water company.
Fred Laubner reports that two Den
; ver mills are to be placed on the Mo
I hawk property in the Willow creek
I district soon.
F. J. (ircgoire and Fred Laubner
have formed a partnership and taken
! a contract to drill on the Gold Coni
property in the Willow creek district.
‘They took in an air compressor and
l .
other machinery on the Admiral Far
| ragut.
Thomas Barclay, a miner in the
| Jumbo mine at Kennecott, fell from
j the top of the stope in which he was
working recently, breaking one of his
legs and having his side caved in,
from the results of which he died a
few hours later. He was buried at
McCarthy.
Reports from the Tolovana district
state that the majority of the op.ra
i tors in that camp will abandon furth
er attempts to develop their holdings
in that camp, because of the increased
cost of operation caused by the rising
cost of food and other supplies. Most
of the operators have signified their
intention of pulling up stakes ami
moving to Xenana, which they say is
the best looking camp in tne North
to them.
