According to reports issued by the
customs house officials the value of
the canned salmon shipped from Alas
ka during September and so far in
October exceeds the total value of the
entire amount shipped last year.
While the production in pounds is less
the increased valuation of this year’s
product brings the total valuation
way up. ,
Customs Collector J. P. Pugh states
that during September the value of
the salmon shipped amounted to $13,
945,286, and that so far this month
salmon in excess of $8,000,000 had
been shipped, making a total of near
ly $22,000,000. The entire value of
last year’s pack in Alaska was but
little over $21,000,000. So far this
year salmon to the value of $28,000,
000 has been shipped south, and it is
known that several million dollars’
worth of the Alaska pack has not been
shipped yet. The value of the pack
this year will exceed $30,000,000.
The value of the total exports from
Alaska for the month of September
was nearly as much as the entire
value of the canned salmon pack from
Alaska last year.
During the month of August the
value of exports from Alaska amount
ed to $5,395,323, not Including the ex
ports of gold. Por September the
grand total of exports amounted to
420,208,256. The itemized report as

Ernest Schink, who recently came
to Cordova from Chlsana, on his re
turn to Dawson, gives the following
interesting account of mining condi
tions at the one-time famous camp:
“Practically all the claims on the
best creeks of the Chisaua district
are kept alive, and a good many are
being worked steadily. All the owners
now remaining there are making good
returns. The ‘Big Pour,’ comprising
Billy James and Nels Nelson, the dis
coverers, and their partners, Billy
Johnson and Mrs. Wales, are working
their ground with hydraulics and are
pulling up steadily, and soon will be
to the good.
“The following is a list of the claims
in the camp:
“On Big Eldorado — On claim No.
3. McCake, Davis and Brihling; Nos 2
and 7, Shorty Broggin.
“On Little Eldorado — On claim No
2, Carl Whittam.
“On Skookum Gulch — D. T. Sar
gent.
“On Gold Run Creek — No. 2 above
discovery, James McDonald, formerly
known as ‘Windy Jim' of Dawson, has
it rich. On No. 3, Ketchum and son.
McDonald has panned $5 in two hours.
"Bonanza Creek — On No. 11, A. T.
Bright; on No. 10. E. McMullen and
Nelson; Nos. 8 and 9. the Big Four;
N'o. 7 fraction, W. E. McKinney; No.

Taylor and McLellan; No. 2. bench,
off Bonanza, on old channel. Judge
McGettlgan and R. K. Hoover, getting
$1.80 to $2.00.
“The total output of the camp this
season is fair, and the boys all may
be said to be doing well. C. Simmons
bas the only general store in the camp.
Supplies go in from McCarthy's.
"Claude James is working with his
brother, Billy James. Mrs. Wales is
the cook for the camp.
“The copper at the head of White
looks fine, but it cannot be gotten
sut for want of a railway.
‘‘It Is too bad the copper of that
region cannot be gotten to market. It
s only 80 miles or so to the Copper
River railway. The country is po high
;here is no vegetation, and the copper
s visible on many of the hillsides and
;reeks. The great glaciers did the
irospectlng."

IMPORTANT ADDITION TO
LUTHERIANA DISCOVERED.
(By Associated Press)
STOCKHOLM, Oct. S—An Import
ant addition to Lutheriana has been
made by the discovery In the royal
; archives of a letter written by Martin
I Luther, the reformer, on the day on
which he nailed his immortal thesis
on the church-door in Wittenberg
The letter is of particular intense
interest from the fact that it was di
rected by Archbishop Albrecht of May
ence, who was Luther's immediate
superior. It contains like the famous
theses, a strong protest against traf
ticking in spiritual indulgences.
The letter appears first to have
been found in a German city by a
Swedish official, who brought it to
Sweden some time in the seventeenth
century. A very old copy exists in
Germany, but the very existence of
the original appears to have been for
gotten and its absence long ago caus
ed the German copy to be considered
a forgery.
A copy of the Wittenberg theses,
signed by Luther's own hand, was
found with the letter, and probably
accompanied it originally.
