The Ketchikan miner., 1907-10-19

, summer they have erected two 2-story , buildings, one 25x13O feet and the ! other 25xl12, ground dimensions, have : constructed 1900 feet of Hume which with 600 feet of piping, gives them
 head of 75 feet capable of supplying
 200-horse power for the operating of
 their plant, including saw-mill
 4Sx120 feet, which last will be com-
 pleted and ready for operation at an
 early day. It is the intention to oper-
 ate freezing plant, and they already
 have on hand a complete line of coopery
 machinery which will be operated in connection with the mill in turning
 out their own barrels and packages.
 It is the intention of the company to
 pack fish in ways that will best con-
 mend their product to the market,
 and to that end will put in freezer
 with view to supplying their custo-
 mers with fresh fish, giving their att tention at the same time to mild cur
 ing and salting salmon as may be deemed most advisable, and maintain- ing a fertilizing plant for the utiliza- | ton of all waste material. Something over 800 barrels of salmon were salted and packed the past season, but owing to some disturbance which muddled l the waters of the straits and inlets be- : tween Klawock and Howkan the run of salmon failed them almost entirely soon after it began. They are not discouraged, however, and will go on with their improvements in the hope of better things next year.
