Ichtyologists are being forced
1 to revise their opinions with re
' gard to the feeding grounds
' of the Columbia River roya*
chinook salmon, as the result
of returns from the salmon
tagging experiments being
conducted this summer by the
International Fisheries Con,
mission, according to a study of
tagged fish, says the Astoria
Budget. Without an exception
tagged salmon caught in the
Columbia river and Oregoi,
coastal waters this summei,
were marked by the British
Columbia department of fish
eries off the coast of that prov
ince. No fish have yet been
taken bearing a tag affixed
by the Washington or Oregon
operations. This would seem to
indicate conclusively that the
salmon entering the Columbia
river, at least during the pre&
ent year, have made their sum
mer feeding grounds off the
British Columbia coast.
A large body of silver lead
ore has been discovered within
one mile of the White Pass &
Yukon Railway, and twenty
miles from Skagway, near the
summit of White Pass. Al
though but little work has
been done on the deposit,
there is every indication that it
is a large one. Samples of ore
sent to nearly a dozen diff
erent assay offices show re
turns from $40 to $80 per ton.
The cropping is six feet wide,
but in the short distance they
have sunk on it the vein has
nearly doubled in width. Th<;
property lies about a mile west l
of the summit, on the Ameri
can side of the boundary, al
though close to the border.
C. C. Mundy, of Wrangell, re
cently shipped 650 pounds ol
blueberries to Seattle and is
thinking seriously of going in
to that business on a large
scale next season, it being ap
parent that there is a good
market on Puget Sound for the
Alaska berries, which gro\»
very plentifully in the vicinity
* >
of Wrangell. The industry of
fers lucrative employment for
the local pickers, one woman
having earned $8 in one day.
A 60-ton mill has been erect
ed on the property of the Peer
less Mining Company at Wind
| ham Bay. Mining and milling
i operations will be carried on
| by the company until late in
I November or early in Decem
: ber, when the weather con
| ditions prohibit further work.
' Early next spring a permanent
camp will be erected to re
place the camp which burned
down last summer.. At the pres
ent time only temporary
| structures house the crew. A
tunnel 480 feet long has been
driven and there are 250 feet
?{ cross-cutting. A crew of 15
men is employed.

France, his native country, and
Belgium. He plans, to be away

ber by the mills of Southeast
ern Alaska this year is expect
ed to exceed that of last year

cording to B. F. Heintzelman,
of the U. S. Forest Service.
Despite the fact that the Pet
ersburg sawmill was destroy
ed by fire and has been out of
operation for the summer, the
increased output of the Ket
chikan and Juneau mills and
other plants in the southern
end of the Territory will mort
than make up for the absence
of the Petersburg mill.
