When the Santa Ana went west and
was passing through the Bristol bay
country, on the 22 of July, Pavlof vol
cano was in violent eruption. Flames
shot thousands of feet up in the air
above the crater. However, when the
Santa Ana passed the same place six
days later the eruption was appar
ently over with and only a little ]
smoke was seen lazily curling upward
from the crater.
The revenue cutter McCulloch:
passed through Unalaska July 20th
on her way to Naknek, where she was
to pick up the floating court officials.
The court crowd went overland from
lliamna. ami it is thought arrived in
Naknek about August 1st. There
they had awaiting them three murder
cases as well as several others of a
less serious nature.
Alexander H. Bradford arrived on
the Santa Ana from the Bristol bay
country. He reports that on Bristol ,
bay the canneries have put up only
two-thirds of their pack. The pack
that was put up this season amounted
to 1,100.000 cases.
The three canneries at Chignik put j
up a little less than two-thirds, and j
their season's output was about 140,- j
Oik) cases. At l yak they had sue- j
ceeded in only canning 17,000 cases,
and at Kodiak but 0.000 cases. At j
these two last named canneries and ]
those in the Cook inlet country they
will realize less than one-half of the
anticipated packs.
