Prize of Canned Fish
 Dug For an increase

Within the past ten days there has been better feeling among the fish packers, and they are looking to an increase ip the price which it is claimed was started off at too low a hgHre by the oombins ation Of the big associationst
 < late Tacoma report has this to say: The sale of canned salmon which has followed the naming of the 1912 prices, has been unusally large, .iiditinnai sales of fish over and above the quantity con- traoted for subject to the approval of opening prices have been far in excess of the orders that still re- main unonnhrmed or that have been turned down, and are far ahead of the expectations of the packers. Orders are still coming in at at healthy rate and packers and brokers now look for the entire pack of reds to be sold out in the near future. The supply of carry over pinks was so large and the 1912 pack of such proportions that the trade does not expect the en. tire supply to be cleaned up for some time,

Alaska Work Of
 Geological Survey

Ihe delay in passing the appfO- priation bill has made it impossi- ble for the United States Geoiogi. cal SureYy to carry out all the field plans for Alaska that had been formulated for 1912, but the funds that became auailahle by emergcn. cy appropriations made it possible to dispatch several of the smaller parties for full seasons work. and others started for Alaska as promptly as the appropriation per mitted.
 In southeastern Alaska the Sur vey proposes this year to study the gypsum and marble deposits. E, F. Burchard. who sailed from Se- attle about the first ot September has been put in charge of this work and will visit the marble deposits near Wrangell and the northern end of Prince at Wales Island.
 The violent volcanic eruption that took place in the Alaska pen insula in June caused the deposit of much material on the northern part of Kodiak Island and created great hardship among the settlers. In view of this condition 1t ap- peared desirable to undertake an investigation os this field. G. C. Martin. who was detailed to study the area. reached Kodiak on the first of July. Under the joint au- spices of the Geographical survey and the National Geographic Soci- ety, he spent six weeks investigat- ing the volcanic phenomena. His work was facilitated by the Rev cnue-C Cutter Service, which furn- ished local transportation. On the completion of the investigation Mir Martin undertook q preliminary examination of the mineral depos- it's of the western part of Kodiak Island.
