00S tierces of mild cured sal mon arrived from Alaska dur ing the period from May to August 20. Of this, 336 tierces arrived in May, 1, 015 i'll June; 3, All in July, and 336 from August 1 to August 20.
 This gives some idea of the large Alaska mildcure pack which breaks all records of the north. As previously stated, the large profits made in mild
 cured last year attracted many inexperienced men into the Iindustry this year. As a re- suit much of the Alaska pack put up by individual operators and small companies has been poor. Many of the fish have | been small in size. This with the ineXperience of the oper- ators and the lack of proper cold storage facilities has re- suited in a product which is either spoiled or such inferior grade that the fish are drug on the market and many will lose money in disposing of their pack. It is estimated that probably one-half of the Alaska pack is put up on spec ulation while the rest is con- tracted for The large por- ton of the pack was secured in June. During July the run of Kings decreased to a marked degree and with the unfavor- able market many of the mild curers suspended operations
 Turing July. Early in August reports were received from the north, stating that a second run had set in off Forester Is- land, the scene of the most ac- tive operations this year. How ever, there were no buyers. Several of the larger compan- ies were still operating in August, but only those which had contracted for their pack
 ,arly ill the season.
 The large companies and others fortunate enough to have experienced men in charge und were properly C. quiped, produced as a whole an excellent grade of mildcure, which was easily disposed of.
 In tho beginning, $1.10 was being paid for kings off the west coast and SI at Peters burg, but about July 20 the price was dropped as low as 50 cents, as the buyers could not afford to pay more.
 The prevailing price for Ala ska mildcured up 10 August s, was II cents a pound for large reds; 7 cents for small reds and f cents for whites. August 8 the price dropped to 9 for large, 6 for small and 3 fer whites.
 B. Lindenberger, of the J. Lindenberger, estimates that his companies pack in Alaska, at nearly 5000 tierces. The company was still operating last month. Six plants were operated. Of these the one at Roe Point put up a good pack, while the one at Craig, was not so large.

 The Cook Inlet cannery fleet was favored by fine weather all summer, but the pack will be very disappointing.

NEAL BANK To PAY
ANOTHER DIVIDEND
Receivers Announce Checks viii
Be Mailed for 3 ~ Per
Cent of Deposits,

Six thousand persons who had
money deposited in the Neal Bank
when it suspended during the panic
of 1907 will receive 80 per cent of
their original deposits Thursday. This
brings the total payments up to 6S p
per cent of the original Indebtedness,
which is generally regarded as about
the limit to which the receivers, The
Central Bank and Trust Corporation,
will be able to go in repaying the
depositors for some time.
The Neal Bank still has valuable
realty in Cuba and mining property
in Alabama, but it has been impos
sible to make a easonable sale of
the properties. Until this can be
done 1t is believed that future pay
ments are more or less problemat-
iCal.
The 31a per cent dividend Thursday
will represent about $4,000. The
clerical force of'the Central Bank and
Trust Corporation has been busy for
days getting the certificates ready for
mailing out to the depositors. The
six thousand letters will be ready by
Wednesday night and will be mailed
out to the depositors the next day.

NO INQUEST FOR
LEM BONE, SAYS
CORONER
Donehoo Satisfied With Doctors
Statement, Bookmaker's Death
Did Not Result From Fight.

Coroner Donehoo said Wednesday
that there would be no inquest over
the death OF Lem Bone. the pic
turesque sporting man who died Tues
day. The Coroner said the statement
of Or. Walpole Brewer that Bone
came TO his death from pleurisy. and
that the pleurisy could not have been
caused from a blow, satisfied him
that Bones death was due to natural
causes.
Investigations by Coroner Doneho %
and city detectives have revealed that
Bone did have a fist fight eleven days
before his death. One OF his eyes
was discolored from a bruise from
that encounter and there was a slight
cut on his lip. but no signs Of any
other injury.
An account Of this fight by Mrs
Bones at her home, No. ~ Fairlie
street, shows that Bone kept mis-
courage until his death. In his young
er days he was terror TO the police
and his notoriety spread over the
South.
Tells Of Fight
Lem had been drinking" she said.
Il went to the Forsyth Theater with
a friend. He kissed me good bye
and shook hands with my escort
when we returned Lem opened the
door and held a pistol in his hama.
My escort retired. ! went to the cor
ner OF Forsyth and James streets to
get a policeman TO go into the house
with me.
Il met a friend Of ours and he went
with me, but when We reached home
we found Lem in the yard very angry.
A fight with fists followed. but 1t was
over in jiffy and everybody made
friends"
Always Kept His Word
Acquaintance OF Bone say that In
the ups and downs of his career one
element of his character was con-
slant. He always stood by his wor !.
Sonnet times his pockets would bulge
with cash. Then he would be pen
niless.
When down and out there were
several well known business men 20
whom he could go and obtain loans
without any security And, It is sa!1
he never failed to repay them as he
promised.
In recent years he devoted prs =
tically all Of his efforts to bookmaking
on horse races. 1t was understood
among the sporting fraternity that
bet won from him was sure to be paid.
His death marks the departure -
one of the last of an odd group CT
men who thrived In the days before
political reforms.
