HERRING AUTHORITY TO INTRO
DUCE NEW FISH FOOD ON
NATIONAL MARKET
Bismarck cured herring, will be
the new fish food product to be in
troduced on the national market next
year by the J. W. Imlach Packing
Company, according to Mr. Imlach
I in a recent announcement.
* Mr. Imlach, who left Seward last
month, is now in New York making
a survey of the fish market and dis
cussing future Alaskatp activities
with his New York broker. Regard
ing the Bismarck cure, it has already
proven to be an exceptional splen
1 did relish and when packed in glass
1 containers, makes an attractive look
ing fancy shelf food article.
Under the Bismarck cure the small
■size herring are cleaned carefully,
then treated with a brine of sugar
and vinegar, spices being added la
i ter. The meat is pure 'white and
| very delectable. It was Mr. Imlach’s
intention the past season to put up
about ten barrels or small kegs of
Bismarck cure but time did not per
mit. These barrels were to have
been sent out to the States as sam
ples. One-half a barrel was to have
been shipped to Seward, from the
Sawmill bay plant, as samples to
local residents.
FLOAT PICKED UP AT
NUKA BAY IN 1896 BY
HOPE-SUNRISE PARTY
__
WERE ON THEIR WAY TO PLACER
DIGGINGS WHEN RESTED
THREE DAYS AT BAY
•Secrets will out!
In 1896, George Stinson, now well
known in Seward, sailed from Ju
neau in a Columbia river sailing
boat, accompanied by four Butte
hard-rock miners. They were head
ed for the newly discovered gold
camp of Hope-Sunrise, to which
placer field a big stampede was on
full blast.
After entering Cook Inlet a heavy
storm suddenly smote them, and a
quick run was made for shelter be
hink Kyak Island. Later a course
was set for Cape Elizabeth. But the
miners became extremely sea-sick so
it was decided to hove-to in Nuka
Bay and rest for a few days.
Rich-looking float was picked up
on the beach but having in mind the
rich placer diggings at Hope, little
attention was paid to their find.
Joe Ulmer, pioneer of Alaska and
veteran mining man, who recently
passed thru Seward en route to Fair
banks, reported that Stinson told him
two years ago of the float he had
picked up in 1S96 and that he in
tended to outfit and spend sometime
in the bay district but owing to news
reaching him that others had enter
ed the Nuka Bay field, took it for
granted he was too late. Stinson
came to Alaska in 1892 and is now
with the lighthouse service, being
stationed near Ketchikan.
FIND ROME’S BEGGARS AT HOME
AMONG CITY’S RICH CITIZENS
ROME, Nov. 19 (j^P)—The police have
found that many of the sorriest and
most pathetic appearing street beg
gars are some of the city’s most opu
lent citizens behinds the walls of their
own homes.
One of these aged mendicants was
searched and his pockets found to
contain about $30 as one day’s re
ceipts. Another beggar was found to
be a proprietor of a dwelling house,
another the owner of a livery stable,
a third was a professional money
lender at usurious rates, and a fourth
was a frequenter of one of the capi
tal’s most expensive restaurants in
the evenings.
Cesare Sanesi, palsied and misera
bly dressed in rags, died suddenly on
the street of heart failure. His body
was gathered up unceremoniously by
carabineers and buried in the public
cemetery for the destitute. It was
later learned that he was a member
of one of the mo§t noble of Florentine
families and that he bore the authen
tic title of count.
