The Ketchikan miner., 1907-10-12
Iadley; w. R. Lindsey, Seattle.

The steamer Santa Clara put into this port about o'clock this morning with large list of passengers, mostly placer miners from the Copper river country going to the states for the winter. The ship having cleared from Valdez, was unable to effect landing at Katalla, and after bucking heavy gale from the southeast for ten days, put into this port for safety and for coal with which to continue her voy- age by the inside passages.
 The tugs Chilkat and Pacific, tend- CTS to the Alaska Packers cannery at Pyramid harbor, called in on their way to their home ports, this morning the Chilkat bound for San Francis co, and the Pacific for Blaine where she will be rebuilt during the coming winter. The cannery superintendent, who was aboard, reports pack of 37, 900 cases, which is 13, 900 cases short of full pack, occasioned by an unex- pected failure in the run of fish about the middle of the season.
