The Ketchikan miner., 1908-02-22

She is scheduled to sail from Seattle again tomorrow with a small amount of freight for this port.
 The Jefferson arrived in from the north shortly after midnight last night, and after taking on a few pas. sengers proceeded to the Ketchikar cannery, where she loaded $500 cases of salmon, a part of last years pack which is still on hand. She left ou, at ten o'clock this morning. taking iu addition to the salmon, B boxes ol halibut.
 The fact that the New England Fish company which has for couple ol years past had in contemplation the removal of it's headquarters, together with it's entire fishing plant, includ- ing it's large ocean-going steamers, from Vancouver to Ketchikan, is hay. ing survey made preparatory to per fectipg title to forty acre tract here. may be accepted as the hest evidence that it has determined conclusivelv on making the long contemplated change of base. The change, if made, will make Ketchikan the center of a very large fishing industry-one that will give regular employment to sev- eral hundred men. and add corres- pondingiy to the industrial and con- mercial activity of the place. The company employs three large tugs number of which is being added to and its plant here will embrace freez- CTS, cold storage and other large build ings essential to the successful con- duct of very large business. These ocean-going tugs will bring the fish here from long distances and from here they will be shipped either to foreign ports direct, or sent in their own steamers to Seattle for ship ment across the continent. It will be an industry which in itself will consti- tute the nucleus of much larger town than Ketchikan now is.
