“Well here once more the sal
mon season is at an end, and a very
successful season it has been, the
very best I have seen in 45 years.
All the cannery men have a smile
on their faces until asked how the
pri^e of th^eir product is. Then
they will wrinkle up and say; ‘we
have not made a thing this season;
salmon is down to little above $4
per case and it cost us nearly that
to put it up.’ Well, all I can say
is they are doing well to get that
much, considering bread lines
we hear of. Who is to buy the
salmon?
“I had the bad luck to lose the
M- S. El Hurd. I had a man from
San Francisco as captain, with a
master’s certificate for any ocean
and he put her on the rocks right
in broad daylight, and right in

“The weather this summer has
been remarkably fine with the sun
shining every day; something un
usual for these parts.
“I have now bought the motor
boat Ruth K. and she will replace
the El Hurd, she is 10 tons larger
with lots of room for both freight
and passengers, and a license for
both. I am now going to Seattle

A favorable report from a test
made at the Federal Mining &
Smelting Company, Kellog, Idaho
indicates that ore of the Apollo
and Popoff properties is well
adapted to oil flotation process,
according to A. H. Bradford who,
with Frank Brown, have consol
idated the Popoff Island property
with the leasehold on the old
Apollo workings. Mr. Bradford
is now in the city enroute to
Seattle.
Large ore bodies on well defin
ed fissure carrying considerable
gold, lead and zinc, have been un
covered.
Mr. Brown and William West
are in charge of the development
work and are now sampling the
tailings at the Apollo.
A small crew will exploit base
ore at both properties this win
ter.
Development of these proper
ties hinges entirely upon large
capital which appears assured, it
it said. The mines are ideal in
that they are both situated ad
jacent to open harbors and may
be served the year through by
steamers.

[LDER, YES—BUT SOMETHING MORE.
Chesterfield offers richness, aroma, satisfying
flavor.
BETTER TASTE — that’s the answer; and
that’s what smokers get in Chesterfield in full
est measure—the flavor and aroma of mellow
tobaccos, exactly blended and cross-blended.
Better taste, and milder too!
