Alaska Salmon and Other
 Fisheries

The usual corps of agents were en- gagged in the inspection of the salmon fisheries of Alaska, and their vigilance has enforced general observance of the law. The sentiment against waste and needless destruction of edible fish, which the bureau has from the begin~ hing endeavored to establish, is appar~ ently growing. It is believed also that the time will soon come when the use as fertilizer of fish, which would other> wise be used as food or bait, will bs discontinued.
 A report, giving statistical and other information regarding the commercial fisheries of Alaska, based on the 1910 inspection, has been published. The statistical canvass of the fisheries shows the nun Der of persons engaged to have been 15,620, an increase of 3,O32 over the previous year. Of these, 6,836 were whites, 4,147 Indians, 2,4ll Chi nese, 2.2O6 Japanese f Koreans and l6 Fiipinos, as compared with 5,6OS whites, 2,823 Indians, 1898 Chinese and 2,l59 Japanese in 1909, an increase in 1910 of 1,228 whites, 1924 Indians, 4l2 Chinese and AT Japanese. Itis especial ly gratifying, the report states, to note that the increase is chiefly ill the whites and Indians employed, as all the Indians and many of the whites are permanent residents of Alaska.
 The total investment in the fisheries exclusive of cash capital amounting to S8,6O4, ,437, was S12,1OG985, an increase of $2,225,3O3, as compared with 1909 Nearly all forms of apparatus show in- creases over 1909. The total quantity of products taken was 2l4,536,443 pounds, valued at s13,259,s59, an in, crease of 12,553, ,195 pounds and s2,07Ss> All over 1909.
 The run of salmon was good in all sections except in Western Alaska. The total number of all species of sal~ mon was 33,679, ,254, weighing 172,716,074 pounds in 19l0 Compared with 1909, there was decrease of 1,0l3,354 fish, or 2,312,520 pounds,
 The nun Der of canneries operated was fifty two, of which twenty-three were in Southeast Alaska, and increase of four over 1909; ten in Central Alas~ ka, an increase of two, and nineteen in Western Alaska, an increase of one. There were 176 steamers and launches over five tons, fifty five under five tons and hfty-nine sailing vessels engaged in transporting supplies aud the pack, This is large increase over 1909. The total pack of salmon was 2,43S, ,777 cases, valued at Sl1,086,322.
 The mild curing of salmon iu 1910 showed marked increase over the drevious year, as did also the shipment of fresh salmon to Puget sound ports,
 All the minor fisheries of Alaska are undergoing development, and each year shows general increase. Of these the most important is the halibut, in which nearly 1000 persons are now en- gagged, and the catch in 1910 amounted 21, ,289 pounds, valued at SS0S,0lo, against only 5, ,189,524 pounds, valued at s195, ,529, in 1909. This increase is part. ly due, however, to the transfer of the headquarters of American vessels hith- erto discharging at Vancouver. The herring fishery yielded S1l5,T1j and the codfishery at S75,443.

 The new revenue cutter Unalga, which was launched but recently at the Newport News shipyards, is being tin' ished and will be ready to sail for northern waters the first of July. The war department gave orders that the Unalga be onthtted by the first of July. following which she will sail by wpl ,.f Suez canal to Juneau.
 Cha4ies Christensen, an Alaska miner, having interests in Nome, was killed by fall at Seattle, when he slipped from his cot in the city hospital and his head struck the cement floor. It was his second fall within an hour. The first fall happened while he was walking on Main street, between Fourth and Fifth avenues. Otto Michelkofski, fleeing from Patrolman Henry Leik, bumped into Christensen and knocked him down.
 When the famous old sailing vessels, St. Nicholas and Reuce, for many years the pride of the Atlantic, leave the Columbia river for the scene of their summer operations in Alaskan waters, they will be equipped with wireless ap- paratus and capable of communicating with any of the coastwise or Oriental liners plying in the North Pacific. They are owned by the Columb bia River Packers Association and are operated in connection with the canneries at Chignik and Nushagak, Alaska. The St. Nicholas was built at Bath, Me-, in 1869, and the Reuce at Kennebunk in 1881,
 Billy Hague, the express messenger from the Miller creek district, brought to Dawson last month the news of rich strike on the benches. Twenty-Five cents in virgin gold to every pan, with q paystreak running back into the hill twenty feet and face opened along the front of the hill twenty-five feet or more-this describes the splendid ground. Some of the pans run as high as S1.35, and none go under twenty-five cents. This is one of the greatest strikes ever made in the country. Mil Ter and Glacier have produced many fortunes in creek gold, but never be fore have been known to carry any thing of particular value in bench pay. This proves the Miller benches are of the Bonanza and Eldorado class, or near it. It means a great deal, Since the men have drifted in only twenty feet and have not run out of the pay, they are very hopeful of the pay con- continuing far back into the hill. They have been working there three years, but have just opened the pay in such a way as to prove the existence of big body. This pay is on bench 500 feet above the creek proper. The benches are not unlike those of Gold hill, on Bonanza. Mattisou 6 Bodli own No. 3, and Owens owns No. ?. The claims are just above the N. A. T, & T. concession Miller's rich pay creek has always been found just below points where the pups have cut the high benches, which would indicate there is much more rich pay in the benches,

Following the efforts being made to secure the release on parole of former Cashier Adams, of the government as say office, who was convicted about six years ago of the theft of thousands of dollars worth ofgold dust, which was entrusted to his care which in charge of the Seattle office, the approval of Federal Judge J. D. Hanford was se cured today for his release. This ap- proval is looked upon by friends of Adams as a signal victory for him and it is thought that following this favor able action on the part of the judge who heard the case and pronounced sentence, that parole will be given Adams soon. Adams, who was sen- tenced to serve ten years in McNeils island penitentiary, has served six years of his term. -P.-l.
 The mystery surrounding the Hum- bodt gold robbery, which took place August 10th, 1910, when gold bricks to the value of S96O00 were stolen from the purser's office on the steamer Hum- boldt, just after leaving Prince Rupert, lead being substituted for the gold, is about to be unfoIded by the confession made at Salem, Ore, by James Barret, one of the gold thieves, who was con. victed in Portland on the charge of having stolen gold on his person and was sentenced to loug term in the penitentiary. Barret made his confes- sion to Governor West. As the result of the confession S7,0O0 of the missing bullion was found buried on farm near by belonging to Barret's father in law. It is hoped that the remainder of the bullion, amounting to S69 900, said to be buried in the woods near Seattle, will be recovered.
 A Washington dispatch says that the Alaska outlook was frightened by the introduction of bill providing for the appointment of an Alaskan railroad commission which is to visit the terri tory this summer to investigate the practicability of government owned railroad from tidewater to the Yukon, to determine the proposed routes from Seward, Valdez and Cordova, aud to make complete report to congress on the question by next December. Many similar bills have been introduced from time to time, but this measure has much importance, because it has been introduced by Representative Flood, chairman of the house committee on territories, and is result of the recent appearance of Gov. Walter E. Clark, of Alaska, former Senator John l.. Will son, representing the the Pacific coast chambers of commerce, and number of Alaska enthusiasts, who impressed on the committee that one pressing need of Alaska was the construction of railroad connecting the interior with the sea coast. The Flood bill provides for a commission of three members. one to be an officer of the engineer corps of the army, another railroad engineer of we'll known ability and the third shall be person of practical mining and coal transportation expert, ence. It is understood the measure will be reported favorably by the com mittee and placed on the house calen- dar for early action, as MT. Flood be- lieves his measure to be the step which can be taken this year in this connec tion,
