New Strikes At
Nuka Bay Being
Made Regularly
DOWNEY-BABCOCK STAKE AN
OTHER CLAIM NEAR THEIR
ORIGINAL FIND
The report of new strikes being
made at Nuka Bay is beginning to be
a commonplace piece of news for
it appears each time a boat arrives
from the new quartz camp, some one
else has made a find.
The Downey brothers and Tom Bab
cock went down to the camp two
months ago to put up cabins, con
struct a millhouse and in general
prepare for the installation of the
mill and to make the camp habit
able over the winter. This has been
done and the mill left Seward last
week for their claims. But during
Mr. Babcock’s brief trip into town
he brought word in that Dave Dow
ney had made another strike at a
distance of approximately 300 feet
above the original location. It ap
pears that the new strike runs to
a higher grade than the original, but
The vein is slightly smaller. Up to
the time Mr. Babcock left the camp
he vein had been traced 200 feet.
The 15 to 25 ton Ellis Ball mill,
style No. B, arrived from Seattle last
week and was taken to the property;
also a tram line 1200 feet. The mill
house just completed is 18 by 24
feet. Two fine log cabins are also
complete in every detail. Mr. Bab
cock expects to return to Seward this
week and buy a horse for work at the
mine.
The five new fox ranches which
have started up in Seldovia bay dur
ing the past two years included the
Waller, Morris, Raby, Younger; Mat
Jute and Minson, and T. Lloyd.

GENERAL COXEY, OF
ARMY” FAME.
“COXEY'S
KfYtTONi^ifwicbTNtwjromc
Thousands remember Gen. Jacob
| Sechler Coxey, who in 1S94 lelt his
home at Massillon, Ohio, and headed
the army of nondescripts who fol
lowed him to Washington to ask
for the abolition of interest charged
by banks for loans. His idea was
to put these unemployed men to
work building good roads, results ot
which we now see, but the furnish
ing of money for building by banks
should not bear interest, as it is
really Government money, loaned to
banks, on which interest is charged.
He says the same thing would solve
the problem of mrechant marine, sol
diers’ bonus. New York’s transpor
tation, etc. At his home he is the
hda of a silica sand quarry, which
supplies silica for steel and glass
making.
A1 Hardy, U. S. Game Warden, a
recent visitor in Seward on official
business, stated that all the big game
hunters who have visited this dis
trict this season, were all well pleas
ed with, not only their hunts and tro
phies, but in the manner they are
taken care of by the guides.

Will Fall Way Short
OFFICIAL FIGURES GIVE PACK
SO FAR THIS YEAR AS
1,500,000 CASES.
VANCOUVER, B. C., Nov. 5. —The
salmon pack this year will probably
fall a little short of last season’s

have closed for the year, although
several are operating on Queen Char
lotte Islands, Fraser River and Van
couver Island.
This season’s pack is now 1,500,000
cases. It is believed that between
now and the end of October from
150,000 to 200,000 additional cases
will be packed.
The 1924 salmon pack was 1,750,
000.
