TUNGSTEN PRODUCTION
World production of tungsten
ore was about 13,000 tons in 1927.
The requirements for lamp fila
ments alone amounted to about
five tons, while 40 to 50 tons were
used for contact points in elec
trical ignition equipment. The
remainder was used in the pro
duction of tungsten steel.
Operations will soon commence
on the quartz property known as
the Wyoming mine on Bedrock
Creek, according to Gene Nelson,
.'ii an interview in the News Miner.

’! FIVE-MONTHS CRUISF
- j Carrying crews totaling 107 men
t | the codfishing vessels Sophie
Christensen, Charles R. Wilson anc’
C. A. Thayer of Seattle, are now
bound under sail for Bering Sea for
a five months’ cruise.
The Sophie Christensen, owned
j by Shields, is the largest and
finest codfishing schooner in the ;
world and flagship of the fleet. She
carries 41 men. She is a four
j master and carries “the greatest
gang of -killers’ that ever left the
Pacific coast in one vessel.” Mr.
Shields said. “Only men with the
highest records as ‘killers’ could
get a dory in her.”
' CAPTAIN FIRTH IN COMMAND
l The Sophie is commanded by j
jCapt. Robert Firth, a Nova Scotian. j
Dan McEchran is mate, Hjlmer j
IRoed, second mate and Mike Ryan !
i third mate.
i The Charles R. Wilson, also own
ed by Mr. Shields, carries virtually
landed on the coast last year. She j
[landed on the coast htat year. She!
| is commanded by Captain J. J. Kel- I
:ly, who comes from Newfoundland. j
The vessel carries a crew of 32 men. 1
Andy Shields is mate and Billy j
;Kusick second mate.
The C. A. Thayer, owned by the ;
Pacific Coast Codfish Co., of which
Mr. Shields is secretary and treas
urer. is commanded by Captain
John Grotle, who is one of the di- ;
rectors of the company. Captain
Grotle has been in Bering Sea as
shipmaster every summer for near
ly 40 years without a broken trip! i
He is a native of Norway. j!
THAYER CARRIES 34
The C. A. Thayer carries 34 men. j i
Like the crews of the Sophie and !
Wilson, they all have reputations as
‘killers’. Tom Fjellsted is mate of ; j
the Thayer. He left the Bureau of '
■Fisheries vessel Eider, where he
was mate, to take the position.
Jens Permain of Port Angeles is j
'second mate.
The Sophie C h list e n sen and
Charles R. Wilson will land their ■
I catches in San Francisco. The ves
sels outfitted in Seattle. The two
! schooners bring $100,000 to Seattle
each year, which goes into the
channels of trade. Mr. Shields is
[the largest producer of codfish on
[the Pacific Coast and last year
!landed nearly half of the codfish |
caught in Bering Sea. j
Anchorage cannerymen are pre- j
| paring for a big season, is the!
| word brought over from the big <
metropolis and much activity is
noticable on the Ocean dock,
marine ways and city wharf.
