FROM TUESDAYS DAILY GEORGE IS OPTIMISTIC

The following letter from George Irving. will no doubt bs of interest to the Miners read CTS:
 ChiSana, Alaska, 6-23-I4. Glen c. Bartlett, Esq,
 ketchikan, Alaska,
 My Dear Glen:-The papers you mailed me reached me yeSter- day. only took from January until June to get here-the reason-no second class matter has been coming into camp all winter, and this was the first to arrive. It was mighty good of you to send "The Miners" and they were appreciated al though old.
 l am in the best of health and everything is as good as could be expected under the circum- stances. I am diggin' away with the hope of uncovering something. and will stay by the game until the last dog is hanged-I expect to be out not later than September 15 of this year, provided always, I have the price as any of those S. E. Alaska towns are ones with out being in the coin.
 Active work is now going on, cd all the fellows having creek claims are now shovel in- in. The cleanups thus far haze shown up fairly we'll. So far as I am concerned I am respecting bench property ani have the singular distin- ci.1n of having struck the first II ney on bench property in tha camp.
 There will be more money c0ne out of the camp than fist expected. but at that 1t VI always be a small affair. Taere are enough people in fare now to work all the claims and many of them will go out V ser. but with an empty poke nut then: that is the history oi all camps, and just as long as fellow insists on chas- ing the Yellow Stuff he must expect the inevitable Fisher mans Luck.
 But on the whole, I think Old kid, that your Uncle will come Ut with a small piece of the c9in. As Peter McKinnon says. You can't keep squirrel down ia a timber country" so me for ne Panga.
 I trust this finds you in good shape and business is good. Nv regards to Charlie Ingresoll nd all others who may in- quire; that is if you think they Ire entitled to sarne.
 ''Be good and you'll be lone some."
 Always the same,

brought about the increase ill

brought about the increase ill wages.
 Speaking from my own obser- vations 1 will say that 1 can live cheaper in Ketchikan than here and equally as good.
 Salmon of which this country at one time had abundance is now a luxury and it not afford ed by many. Fresh salmon re- tailing here only last week on the market for 3 Crowns per Kilogram which is at the rate of about 40 cents per pound in American money.
 Financially however, Norway is in better standing than ever, and money seems plentiful a. mong certain classes. A great number of the people here al most live in the cafes of which the city has many but very ex- pensive. Here you can be served with meals and refreshments, smoke your cigar and listen to the strains of music from the Hungarian bands, it is a sort of Bohemian life where the whole family may congregate and you may happen to see the old grandmother and her grand daughter slipping their coffee and smoking their cigaretts. The latter 1 do not fancy much myself, but they care very little for my objections, as this clg- arctic smoking among the ladies is considered quite fash enable here, the cafes all close at midnight and strict laws pre- vail here while they are open. The one objection l have to these places is the everlasting tipping system. The walters do not get any wages and live and earn their wages by tips they figure to get at the ate of 10 per cent. Sometimes a good waiter will earn 20 crowns q day( over S5.O0.) This sys- makes it very easy for the pro- prietors on pay day. 1 also have to tip my barber, and l have wondered why the conductors on the street cars have not a. dopted this system of collect ing tips in addition to the reg ular fare. The Fourth of July will be celebrated in a regular American fashion here, one of the main features of the day being the unveiling of the statue of President Lincoln, this staue has been erected in park adjoining the exposition grounds. Will not tire you more at this time with my writing, however, will say this has been both a pleasure and instruction trip. We leave here about the If of July for Denmark Ger many and France, and will leave the latter place on the new German s. s. Vaterland, same leaving Cherburg, France, July 23rd. for New York.

FROM WEDNESDAYS DAILY a WORD FROM
 NEWT cAsPERsoN
Christinia, Norway,
 July 1, 1914 Richard Bushell, Jr., ketchikan, Alaska,

Ketchikan, Alaska, Dear Editor
 Just few lines from Old Norway. We arrived here at Christiania, May filth, after a fine trip across the Ocean. This is very beautiful city and has population of about 25S,- 900.
 The Exposition held here this year although only a National affair, is great success, as many as t50,000 people having passed through the gates in a single day.
 It is wonderful to see what this little country produces in the line of manufactures, the abundant water powers which this country possesses has brought about the installing of electric power wherever need ed, and the country has some of the largest electric plants in the world. This is a little hint to Alaska, which closely re- sembles this country, but only awaits capital to open up her many possible resources. We have visited a number of places since we arrived in Nor way, and among them Bergen and StavaLger. The former city is a quaint old place still retaining her ancient architec- ture and castles, one of these the Browning Place of the old Kings dating back a thousand years.
 The main industry of t his city is the exporting of al! kinds of dried, canned and cured fish, the climate resembles that of Ketchikan.
 Stavanger is also a quaint old city with its narrow streets and old buildings which the in-
 habitants feel so proud of and hate to remove for new and more up to date structures. Ths city is the "Sardine City of the World" do not know how many canneries are located
 there but one firm alone has fourteen. Here you can see fish of all sorts and descriptions canned, cured, smoked and
 prepared in all kinds of man.
 ners, also meats and fowl. Modern machinery, principal, of Norwegian manufacture is
 used almost exclusively in these
 canneries to save labor. Labor
 is by no means cheap here 1T
 Norway, the high cost of living which also prevails here ha.

showed nothing to him, and he had no idea of his position un- til his sloop piled up on the reef near No. 3 fish trap on Slate island, from which he made his way to the watch mans quarters, where he was cared for until the arrival of the Ceres yesterday, which brought him to town, where he arrived absolutely penniless and without a thing to his name outside the clothes he stood in.

GOOD RUN OF REDS

The Pure Food Cannery was in receipt of a fine scow-load of salmon from the Lude trap dur ing the night. The percentage of reds was high, and the fish big fat fellows. In all, 3SG cases of red fish were put up this morning, and this after noon the run was on pinks.

Victor Anderson, a fisherman in the employ of the Wales Island cannery on Portland Canal had an experience the latter part of last week he will long remember and probably never forget. He was out last Friday morning in Wales Pas sage alone in his sloop gill; netting. when almost without a moments warning a storm
 struck him, making his craft manageable, and starting
 him out to sea. The wind blew so hard that he couldn't get a ran on the boat, and the seas soon filled her up, wash ing everything overheard, so that all he could do was to hang on to the mast to prevent himself being washed over- board. It was so thick with mist and flying spray that he couldn't see anything or gel any idea of where he was, bu! the northeast wind evidently blew him out into Dixons en- trance where a bowling south caster was on, which III turn started him up Revillagigede Channel. All Friday, he drift ed, and all Friday night, dur ing which he heard the fog horn at the Tree Point light.
