OF YEAR HERRING FISHING
AT HALIBUT COVE
The halibut boat Clara, Capt. John
Stemland, hove into port Saturday
from Seldovia as a result of a short
age of bait at westward points. He re
ports several boats have given up hal
ibut fishing on this account and plan
to spend the remainder of the year
herring fishing.
Captain Stemland and his partner,
Einar Nelson, are putting away their
halibut gear and are getting an out
fit together preparatory to starting
out herring fishing at Halibut Cove.
They expect a good herring season
as the run has never yet failed to
make the Halibut Cove waters. They
will build a float at the Cove on
which they will pack their catch by j
the Scotch cure method.
They also stated they had a very
good halibut season and only the bait
shortage forced them from continuing.
They will start for the fishing banks
j within the next few days.

MUSK BACK
TWENTY YEARS
From The Gateway Files of
Long Ago
Enough placer tin to supply the
world lies in the streams of the Cape
York district in Alaska, in the opinion
of John Dix Morgan, a mining engi
neer of Singapore.
—o—o
On account of the harbor at Valdez
being frozen over, it has worked a
hardslioip on steamers coming into
the ever open waters of Resurrection
bay where Seward is situated, and
where the promoters of the Alaska
Central had the foresight to locate
the terminus of their railray system,
o—o—o
P. E. Peterson, one of the owners
of the Telephone group of copper
claims at Sunny bay, ten miles down
the harbor, has been in town several
days from the scene of his mining op
erations.
Discovery claim on Fairbanks creek
proves to be a wonder. High values
are now uncovered on the upper half
The volume of high grade gravel of
jpiown existence is now estimated on
this claim approximately one million
cubic feet
—o—o—■
The volume of traffic between here
and the creeks is steadily increasing.
Last Tuesday night fifty teams stop
ped at the Gilmore roadhouse. It is
probable that a daily stage line will
be installed between Fairbanks and
the principal points on the creeks.
—o—o—
Game is very scarce in this market.
The shops cannot supply the demand
for moose, caribou, sheep and the
various fowls. As high as $1.50 has
been paid for one of the little feather
ed ■white ptarmigan, of no more than
a pound in weight.

James O. Buzard, one of the most
prominent miing men in this section
of Alasfla, and one who is backed up
by such men as Schwrab and Frick,
great captains of industry, returned
to Seward on the Portland from Sel
dovia and left for Hope by the over
land route last Sunday.

Mr. Morgan is one of the latest ar
rivals from the Nome country. He
operated in the British India tin dis
trict for many years, and upon hear
ing of the discovery* of tin near Cape
York he at once left for that section.
Morgan first went to Nome in 1898,
and thence back to Singapore, which
lias long been his home. He reached
York in June, 1903. Nome or Cape
York tin, he asserts, can be mined
and sold on the New York market for
$400 per ton less than any other tin
and at a profit. The supply he thinks,
cannot be exhausted in fifty years.
The Cape York district is about 15
miles wide, stretching away to the
sast of Cape Prince of Wales for a
iistance of sixty miles.
