SEATTLE, Sept. 22 (Special to the
Daily Times).-—There is a new sport at
Fairbanks, where scores of men look
ing for new excitement are using fliv
ers and automobiles to hunt caribou.
Thousands of these animals are re
ported to have crossed Fairbanks
creek and people in town can look
’em over as they graze on the foothills.
The quickest way is to hop into an
automobile and go gunning for the an
imals which furnish good sport when
they race with the motors.
There will be $1,600,000 in gold pro
duced in the Tanana Valley placer
mining district this season, according
to information gathered by commercial
companies and the total gold produc
tion for interior Alaska for 1920 will
be about $3,000,000 with the total for
the Dawson district set at $1,500,000.
There has been a^shortage of water
for sluicing in the interior camps,
some of which have had to suspend
operations. The estimated production
by camps for the season now closing
is: Fairkans, $750,000: Tolovana,
$750,000; Iditarod, $500,000; Tacotna
and Ophir, $500,000; Hot Springs,
$100,000; Ruby, $100,000; Koyukuk
$75,000; Circle, $70,000; Marshall,
$50,000; Fortymile, $50,000; Rampart,
$20,000 and Chandlar, $2,00.
Mines in the vicinity of Juneau are
showing fair activity in spite of the
shortage, an ailment affecting most all
Alaska mining camps this year. The
Alaska Endicott Mining Company in
tend to push active development work
on their property on Windham Bay.
Three thousand feet of tunnel has now
been completed and a five-stamp mill
is now wroking on the tailings brought
out. A 30-stamp mill has arrived from
[ Seattle for installation. There is con
siderable activity at the Crystal group
at Snettisham, at the properties of the
Chicagof Mining company on the Lis
| ianskT group and the Admiralty Alas
ka Gold Mining company in the Fun
ter Bay section.
Advices from Washington and in
quiries made locally indicate that
whilesome progress has been made by
the department of the interior toward
the amalgamation of the Alaska
Steamship company and the service
maintained to Alaskan ports by the
Pacific steamship company, no steps
of a postive nature have been taken by
either of the companies named to
bring about such a coalition.
Thirty million dollars is the estima
ted value of Alaska’s 1920 season
pack of red and pink salmon, or an ag
gregate of 3,250,00) c/ses. Red sal
mon canned in Alaska this season will
reach 1,750,000 cases, or a total of
$10,50,000. These estimates ,Avhich are
exclusive of the value of other salmon
species and the vast halibut and herr
ing fisheries of the North, were made
by Maj. L. B. Douglas, secretary of
the Association of Pacific Fisheries,
Seattle headquarters.
At the end of last year Alaska’s tot
al proudcts since the territory was pur
chased had aggregated a value of
about $940,000,000.
Quotations on salmon run as fol
lows: Alaska reds, $3.25; kings, $3;
cohoes, $2.75 ; pinks, $1.50, and chums,
$1.25. These prices are for one dozen
tall cans and are slightly under the
1919 opening quotations, with the big
gest drop in the chum or whitemeat
salmon, which sold for $2.10 last year.
“Sourdoughs” who hit the trail in
early days of Alaskan development,
members of the Sourdough Republican
Club of this city have adopted resol
utions strongly supporting the reelec
tion of United States Senator Wesley
L. Jones, asserting that he has been a
staunch friend of Alaska and has at
tained a position in the senate of very
great value to the country and to the
northwest. The resolutions review
Senator Jones’ work for Alaska on
several important measures for the
territory.

KIEL CANAL IS
OVERRUN WITH
I
HAMBURG, Sept. 22 (by Associ
ated Press).—In one day last week 22
steamers passed Cuxhaven on the way
to Hamburg or to enter the Kiel Can
al. This was the largest number of
ships to come into the Elbe hi 24
%
hours since the early days of the war,
and these ships were hailed with in
tense satisfaction here as a sign of
better times. Five years ago it was
a dull day when only a score of ves
sels .arrived. The Hamburg Ameri
can line alone usually had from 25
to 30 big ships in port and the harbor
was so crowded with shipping that
the problem of docking often became
acute.
In those days few flags other than ■
those of the German companies were
seen in the harbor. Today Hamburg
is literally under foreign colors. Ship
ping companies of all the principal na
tions have set up offices here and the
formerly powerful German lines, hav
ing lost their ships, are acting now
only as agents. American, British,
Japanese, French, Spanish, Dutch
and Brazilian companies display their
advertisements in the shipping papers.
Advertisements of German concerns
are so few that one must search for
them.
There is some life again in the har
bor but the ships are nearly all foreign
and one passes long rows of splen
didly equipped docks and warehouses,
once a hive of industry, but now emp
ty and still. And in the absence of
the many ships that used to make
Hamburg a thriving commercial cen
ter, trade has died away and the great
market places on the waterfront are
practically deserted. Before the war
Hamburg had become one of Europe’s
chief coffee markets. Now only a few
sacks of that staple find their way
here.
While Hamburg was losing its glory
as a port, death was taking a heavy
toll of the so-called “royal heads” of
the big German-American companies,
including Albert Ballin, president of
the Hamburg-American line and the
brothers Adolph and Edward Woer
mann, who guided the affairs of the
great Woermann Indian and African
lines. “Africa House,” the scene of
their labors, was the nerve center of
Germany’s vast colonial trade. It
stands today a silent memorial of Ger
man imperialism.
It is realized that Hamburg faces
a long up-hill struggle to gain its pre
war prestige. A well-known banker
told the correspondent he believed
Hamburg had irretrievably lost its
financial power and would never again
enjoy the independent position it had
in the past.
“Germany,” he said, “is more close
ly united today than ever before.
“This means that Hamburg must work
not only for itself but for all Ger
many as well. Until the country as a
whole begins to get back on its feet,
Hamburg’s progress toward recovery
will be slow.
At the momment, unemployment is
a grave problem there. Between 30,
000 and 35,000 workers are unemployed
and Hamburg is spending more than
1,000,000 marks a week in donations to
them. Labor here is generally dis
contented and strikes are frequent.
Private Zeiber, of the detachment
of soldiers stationed at Sew'ard, was
lost recently in the Resurrection val
ley. Although search was made for
him, he was not found. The body
was found some time later and it was
evident that he had fallen and had
bruised his head and afterwards died
of exposure.
There is a possibility that the Cliff
mine on Valdez bay will be electrified.
The power will be taken from the
Prince William Sound Light, Power &
Water Company of Soloman Gulch.
The power company at the present
time is furnishing power and light to
Fort Liscum.
