The schooner General Banning ar
rived at Seattle Thursday from San
Francisco. Captain Challister reports
that August 9th, while off the mouth
Of the Columbia river he sighted a
dangerous derelict only half a mile
away. Not vestige of the mast re-
mained in the wreck, and 1t fioated
with the deck even with the surface
of the water The quarter deck could
be seen and the timbers Of the after
house, but the poop deck had been
washed away. There was very bad
sea at the time, and as the wreck
rolled from side to side the STAN
chions could be seen plainly, but no
bulwarks. Captain Challiston says 1t
was wooden vessel at least 200 feet
long, and he thinks the hold was full
of lumber which kept the wreck afloat.
The deck being so low made it very
dangerous, as it would be impossible
to see the wreck except in daylight and
clear weather. A strong northwest
breeze was blowing when Captain
Challiston sighted the wreck, and he
could not make close examination.

The Tacoma Ledger says: At pres
ent fishermen are mystified over the
non-arrival of salmon. They claim that
the fish had been running over month
at this time last year. Seattle papers
announce that they have reached there
and local fishermen are expecting them
here in the course of another day or so.
A local Gamer stated yesterday that
the probable reason for their delay was
the lateness of the season, which, he
thought, had it's effect on marine life,
as we'll as vegetable life. Fishermen,
he said, who last year at this time
were going out and returning with. 200
pounds, were returning now with two
or three fish. The Puget Sound Fish
ing Company expects to do q business
this year of nearly twice the volume
that it did last season. All the fisher
men are expecting the run to be fully
as large this year and say that the fish
will continue q month later in Sound
waters, owing to their tardy appear
ance. The first big nets of the season
were drawn in Elliott bay last week by
the fishermen belonging to the Boston
Fish Company. On Thursday the first
one was hauled up with 1000 pounds of
jack salmon, and on Friday, one haul
of the seine brought up 1400 pounds.
The fish had evidently thinned out, for
on Saturday, but 25O pounds were tax
en-.
