A GREAT INDUSTRY
Likely to Result from the Discovery OF
Fishisg Banks OFF Queen ChaIlotte's
Island


OTTAWA, Dec. 26.
The fisheries department has been apprised
of the return to Victoria of the two British
Columbia fishing schooaers from an explor-
ing tour to the Black cod banks of Queen
Chsrlotte's islands. Fish were found ia
grea. abundance in from one hundred anu
fifty TO three hundred fathoms. and about
three miles from the shore. The anchorage
along the coast is excellent, in natural har.
bors well sheltered from the wind. The
supply of fish at all time, is all that could be
desired. Steam fishing vessels, with three
or four hundred fathoms of cable, would
doubtless succeed best in the fishery. Vic
torla people are excited over the promise of
a great industry.
