The Feed Fish Of Alaska.

The, greatest and most available re-
source of Alaska is the abundance of
food fish to be found in the streams and
in the waters along the coast. From
june until September the fresh-water
streams, from the great Yukon to the
little brooks flowing from melting
glaciers, are crowded with salmon and
trout, while their presence in the bays
and adjacent sea is indicated by the
leaping of herds of porpoises pursuing
them for food. Were it not for their
destruction by these ravenous fish, and
the fact that but small percentage OF
the spawn lives to reach deep water,
the sea and bays in the vicinity of these
rivers would become unnavigable. In
the spawning season they ascend the
streams in such numbers as to render
fording extremely difficult. There are
five distinct species as classified by the
inhabitants, though no scientific classi-
fication has yet been made. Earl in
June the Quinnat Ga very fine fish,
called Chowchou by the Russians be-
gins to run, followed soon by the Kikof.
In July appears the Crassena Rubia
(red-heshed), and'in August the Gar
bosnia (humpbacked), followed later in
the season by the Kisehutch, or black
mouthed The last is considered the
finest table fish, though the Garboshe,
which is coarse and unfit for canning, is
the favorite with the Indians, and is
cured by them in great quantities for
their winter food. There are already
half dozen canneries at work, several
OF which were built the past year, and
the Alaska pack is becoming quite q
factor in the market. The possible ex
panson of this industry is practically
unlimited Large quantities are packed
in barrels by the various fur and trading
companies. Off Fox and Shumagin
Islands, at the southern extremity of the
Alaskan Peninsula, cod-fishing is car
ried on quite extensively, Three com
panies in San Francisco employ twenty
vessels in this work, catching abou
1000 tons annually. In this vicinity
there are number of good banks, witt

Cigar Making.

The process of cigar making is not
very difficult to follow. The tobacco
leaves are sorted out into bundles of
hundred. The sorter first takes out the
stem from the leaf, and divides the
sheep from the goats, the dark leaves
from the light ones. The stems and
stalks are put away and used afterward
for making into snuff, Of course, re-
gard OR economy is rigidly enjoined
upon the workers and a premium paid
to encourage it. Each bundle is tied up
and given to the cigarmaker, who is re-
quired to produce SO many cigars from
the raw material, A cigar consists of
three parts, the wrapper, the bunch and
the filler. Different classes of leaves 90
to make up certain class of cigar say,
for instance, Sumatra, Manila and Ha-
vana This assortment is necessary to
give. flavor and to allow the cigar to
burn evenly. Let me tell YOU" said
my guide, that the brown. paper and
cabbage leaf theory is exploded. 1t
would not pay us to use them. Yes,
even the penny smoke is made of
genuine tobacco" Each worker sits at
her bench with her materials before her.
On her right is the '.'tiller' that is, the
interior or flesh of the cigar. Deft fin
gers seize the right quantity and roll the
short leaves together on board, wrap
ping round it rough, ragged cover
ing. This is done very rapidly. BY
her side are the two portions of wood
en- mould, cut into twenty-five cigar
shaped divisions. Into each of these d.
visions the cigar in the rough is placed.
One half the mould closes upon the
other, like the lower jaw on the upper.
When four moulds have been thus filled,
they are taken to press, an iron rod is
| passed through each end, and the whole
secured by wedges. Thus compressed
they stand for day or so. The wedges
are taken out, and there is the cigar epl
bryo, waiting fot the outer coverings
and the final touches. Very carefully
tine wrapper is wound round the body
being kept together by an application O
gelatine. The edges are then trimmed
by machine. There only remain tn,

ninety-six degrees Fahrenheit, the sort
ing, the tying into bundles and the pack

of British cigar. As is the quality, 81
