PRESS OF ALASKA
W. G. Wells, a rancher,
claims to have found a deposit
of ambergris on the beach
near the town of Homer. He is
sending a piece weighing ap
proximately -100 pounds to the
University of Washington for
analysis. j
E. E. Carson of Hope, recent
ly sent to Seward two fine ap
ples raised on his ranch at
Hope. The fruit was as well
forme'd and perfect as any
raised in the States. Mr. Carson
says there is no reason why
apples could not be raised in
that section of Alaska.
The first gold brick cast by
the Apex-El-Nido Mining Com
pany, at Lisianski Inlet, was
brought into Juneau recently
by J. H. Cann, president of the;
company. It weighed 197
ounces and was valued at
about $4,000.
Official advices state that the
Pribilof Island fur seal herd
now total 697,158 animals, of
which 208,896 are pups. This
is the annual computation as
of August 10, 1924 and shows
an increase over 1923 of 44,150
or 6.76 per cent. ■■>»**
The Tee Harbor capnery,
about 20 miles from Juneau,
was totally destroyed by fire
recently. In addition to all
buildings of t^e plant, about
20,000 cases of salmon were
destroyed. The cause was un
known.
George Marcup, well known
citizen of Anchorage, where
he was manager of the hard
ware department of Brown
and Hawkins, was stricken
with apoplexy recently and
died a short time later at the
government hospital without
regaining consciousness.

St. Paul Island, north of the
Aleutians in Bering Sea, la re
ported by officers of the Coast
Guard Cutter Haida as a poss
ible source of a new northern
industry, owing to the fact that
it contains large guano depos
its, resulting from millions of
sea-birds making it their nest
ing place for many years.
Chas. H. Stevens, employed as
a painter at Ketchikan during
the past sinhmer, is believed to

sled over the ice broke and
Johnson was drowned before
Mebes could go to his aid.
A 60-ton stamp mill has been

PRELIMINARY REPORT <
file Porter- Idaho Syndicate
has issued the following pre
liminary report to its unit hold
ers, in vihich is detailed the
results, of the past season’s op
erations and the contemplat
ions for the future, as well as
the present financial status.
Report Preliminary to the An
nual Report of the Trustees of
the Porter Idaho Syndicate.
To the Unit Owners:
The Trustees closed down the
operations at the end of Oct
ober, 1924, for the reason that
owing to the delay of 30 days
in getting the pack train to the
mine, it was impossible to con
struct quarters suitable for
winter operations. During the
short season, however, from
July the 24th to the end of
October, one hundred sixty
(160) tons of. high grade ore,
averaging ?140 per ton, were
extracted and shipped. Four |
hundred fifty (460) feet of!
development tunnel was driv
en exposing large bodies of ore,
from which samples were tak
en, the assays of which aver
aged 640 in gold, silver and
lead. Between two and three
thousand tons of this ore were
broken down in extracting
high grade ore, some of which
is on the dump, and some re
mains in the tunnels.
The program for next year’s
operations will be outlined to
the unit owners in a later re
port.
The Trustees have decided
after a careful- consideration
of the matter, that it is for the
best interests of all concerned
to change the form of organ
ization from that of a syndi
cate to a corporation, and have
decided to incorporate under
the laws of British Columbia.
The form and size of incorpor
ation that appeals to the judge
ment of the Trustees is a two
million dollar ($2,000,000)
corporation. The capital stock
of the corporation will be di
vided into four million (4,000,
000) shares of 50 cents par
value each, and by virtue of
the authority given the Trust
ees in the Trust Agreement un
der which the Syndicate was
organized, the exchange of
stock for unit interests will be
made at the ratio of ten to one.
That is, the par value of a unit
being $10.00, the owner will
receive $100 worth of stock
par value, or 200 shares, 50
cents par value for his one unit.
During the year’s operation
and m order to provide the
necessary funds, a number of
units were sold in excess of one
hundred thousand dollars
worth. In order to place fifty
thousand dollars ($50,000)
worth of uYiits in the treasury
of the new company an assess
ment has been levied on the
original owners of the ground
only, that is, the persons who
owned the ground and sold to
the Syndicate have been ass

eased pro rata an amount
equal to seven hundred nintety
three (798) units. This will
leave outstanding exactly one
hundred thousand dollars
($100,000) worth of units, and
will require one million dollars
($1,000,000) worth of stock
for its redemption, leaving in
the treasury of the new comp
any one million dollars ($1,
000,000) worth of stock.
This the Trustees believe is
equitable and for the best in
terests of all the unit owners,
and those who. invest in the
capital stock of the corpor
ation after it is organized.
We herewith submit a finan
cial statement as of November
the 1st, 1924, which shows an
estimated balance in the treas
ury of the Syndicate amounting
to $15,875.85, out of which
the expenses incident to the
organization of the corporation
will be paid, and the balance
turned into the treasury of the
new company.
