ID INSTALL BIG
 HYDRAULIC PLANT Esteriy Company Will Treble Capacity of Outfit on
 Nlzina River.

The hydraulic plant installed last year on the Nizina river by George NJ. Esteriy and his associates will be enlarged this season to three times Its former capacity. An outfit of i5O tons containing the addition to the plant Is now on the trail and when this Is installed the plant will De the largest In Alaska. and In mechanical equipment will be unexcelled by any hydraulic plant In the states.
 It Is believed by the owners that thls hydraulic machinery will wash as many yards of gravel with as close economy and as nearly complete say ing of gold as any hydraulic outfit now In operation.
 Mr. Esterly has made hydraulic mining special study for several years, visiting all the important hy- draulic plants in operation in Califor- mia, and has adapted for the Nizina plant the methods and machinery In use In that state, where hydraulic mining has been made an exhaustive study. He haa also added numerous Improvements of his own suggest ed by the different conditions existing in Alaska.
 1t Is expected that the additions to the Nizlna outfit will be completed and that the plant will be in opera tion by May l5. Besides the usual equipment of ditches, pipe lines, gi. anta and sluice boxes 1t will have a sawmill, electric light plant with IS arc lights of l5O0 candle power each, two 3ooo-cendle power search lighta, a large number of incandescent lights and complete machine shop. The plant was visited last year by | party from the United States geologi. cal survey, and their report has in- duced the survey bureau to detail all. other party of siX to collect data this year relating to hydraulic mining in that region of Alaska.

SALMON PACKERS
 DODGE ALL TAXES
Grand Jury Report Shows They Take Advantage of
 Hatchery Law.

The grand jury In the district court at the presentterm sharply criticised the rebate law which was lobbied through the last congress by the salmon packers, allowing them to pay their taxes on canned salmon by planting fry In hatcheries. The grand jury found that tho salmon packers have been able to evade all taxes by alleged planting of fry, and urges the repeal of the law The Alaska Packers Association last year paid 32 cents on canned salmon, swearing off tho rest like New York millionaire.
 Your grand jury find that tho new law relating to the rebate of license money to canneries operating hatch cries, provides for 10 cases of salmon equal to 40 cents for each thousand of red salmon fry liberated from such hatcheries. The law places the duty upon the clerk of the court of Issuing certificates, which arc redeemable In money for the payment of the former license. In other license matters, which are not of such Importance as this, the court Is called upon to pass upon them; In this case, the most important in many ways to the inter- ests of the territory, the court has no voice whatever. The first year of the operation of this law the Alaska Pack ers' Association alone shows the re- lease of about 90 ,0oO, 900 of fry. For the past year this same company shows through It's paid agents the liberation of sO,6sO,OOO for the Firet and Third divisions, and under the law the clerk was compelled to issue certificates at 40 cents for each thous- and of red fry liberated to the fishing company. These certificates are then turned into the clerks office In lieu of cash for the payment of their license tax on their output of canned
