Tin Mining Near
Cape Prince Of
Wales This Year
Wm. Merritt, field manager of
the American Tin Fields, Inc.,
operating on Cape Creek within
a few miles of Cape Prince of
Wales, while in Nome for the first
time this summer, after having
started tin mining operations up
at Tin City this spring, had some
interesting facts to disclose con
cerning operations this summer.
He said they did not get all
equipment completely installed
until about the* middle of July,
and since then work has been
going ahead rapidly for the past
two months.
It was reported that about 150
tons of tin ore were shipped out
3 Days From

on the S. S. Derblay, bound for
the smelter in Singapore. The
work is still going ahead at the
workings todate and more tin ore
should be extracted before the
final freezeup closes down the op
erations for this year.
Operating six trucks, one gas
shovel,and crushers, sluice boxes,
rockers, etc., the company has
been increasing its production
steadily all year.
Of notable consequence is the
fact that this is the only tin ore
mined on the North American
continent, a mineral which the
United States has been sadly in
need of for many years, and one
which it has always been forced
to import.
About 35 men were employed
all summer and will possibly con
tinue until the last possible mo
ment before the last boat sails
from Nome for the States, it was
further announced.
Big Pack 1936
Will be Welcome
To Housewives
i
SEATTLE. Sept. 30-Alaska’s
record pack of more than 8,000.
000 cases is expected to find a
real welcome from housewives in
the United States tliis fall, a re
port issued recently by the head
quarters of the Canned Salmon
Industry declares. The study
points out that conditions now
apparent in the market indicate
that the heavy pack will be need
ed to meet the expected shortage
in other foods.
While first results of the drou
ght in the midwest may be to de
press meat prices, since the short
age of forage crops will necessi
tate the slaughter of large num
bers of animals, its effect over the
year as a whole will be to create
a shortage of meat, leading to
continued high meat prices.
Prices of competing varieties of
: fi‘sh, which in the past have exer
ted an even stronger influence on
Canned Salmon sales than meat
prices, may also be considerably
higher this year than last. There
[ appears to be a shortage of mack
erel in California, with the pack
currently about 40 per cent below
last year. It is still early for the
big run of this fish, and the pack
may pick up, but at present the
short supply is causing prices to
work upward. The excellent sta
tistical position of certain canned
fish products indicates that prices
of these items will remain firm.
Reports from eastern jobbers
and large retailers indicate that
stocks of canned salmon now- in
the trade's hands are exeptional
I
ly low for this time of year.
