But when at last the wedding party

FISH PROFITS
 BEAT GOLD {
 STAMPEDES Men Working From Juneau Make SLIGO in a E
 Single Month <.

JUNEAU. - The profits offered to those who engage in fishing as vo- cation were illustrated within the last few days by practical demonstration. Within the last few days three boats arrived at Juneau, each having three men crews. Two of the boats sold their cargoes for $900 each and the third sold it's cargo for $l 200. The catches represented trips of one weeks duration each.
 Several individual fishermen en- gagged on the gasboats that operate out of Juneau made as high as $l,2OO each for their time in the month of February. This represented the pro ceeds of three trips to the halibut banks.
 Said a business man discussing this situation:
 of miner should come into Ju- neau with $1, 100 worth of gold dust secured through his efforts for one month without investment in tools or place to live it would set the town crazy, and stampede would occur that would take up hundreds of miles of creek ground if all got claims. But when several fishermen clean ur that much apiece and many others dr nearly as well in waters that offer room for all who will fish them, Vt go to sleep, and let most of fish that is brought here go to Petersburg oi elsewhere for market and supplies.
 "The most profitable mines for Ju- neau are in the sea. It would Dc possible for this city by concerted ac- tion to make the fisheries centering here far more profitable to the city than the great mines that are being ked."-(Juneau Empire.)
