MILD STAMPEDE
 UP THE TAKU
A Number of PrOspectOrs Now in That Country and Find Good
 Looking Rock

Considerable attention is being at tracted by reports that are Altering out from the Taku River country. A number Of prospcctors left for the river early this spring and others arc ] leaving for there all the time. scv- eral parties will leave later in the season.
 Navigation of the river has been solved by a man named Strong. who operates a boat on the river. The vessel was in the harbor this week. lt is about forty feet in length. built for light draft and in the shape of a scow. lt is powered with CO- horse power engine. lt makes the trip from here to the mouth Of the river in two and a quarter hours. and makes a speed Of nine miles an hour against the current of the Taku The same man is having a larger and more powerful boat built.
 After the larger boat is completed which will be about the first Of July. a regular passenger run will be cs- abolished between Gastincau Chan mel and the mouth of the lnkling river. which is many miles upstream and far into Canadian territory. The present boat will be used in carry ing fish down the river.
 The boat came into town Wcdncs- day with F. W. Bradley l.. Wer- necke, Tom Macdonald and Tom Ryan aboard. The party had been examining the claims belonging to Tom Ryan. which are situated right at the international boundary.
 The rock up the Taku carries heavy values in silver besides many other minerals and as silver is high at present, many people are turning their eyes toward these prospects
 The Taku River country is also rich in fur-bearing animals. and number of trappcrs spent the winter there. Al some times of the year when the river is low very good wages are banned out by miners working the river bars for gold dust.
 With regular means Of transpor- tation available it is more than likely that this country will receive considerable attention in the fu- ture from prospcctors, farmers and fur hunters, as without a doubt. it is one of the richest places in Alas ka i'm these things.

 "sccrctary A. L.. IT,"
 J. G. Bjorgc. manager of tE1 Col- umbia & Northern Fishing and Packing Company, this afternoon said:
 "Thc suMnc river gin nottors have had mo complaint Go make about our prices. Their strike was out of sympathy for Che trollcrs. The Kctchikau buyers, we are iu- formed. win offer the stkue river gin uctters 9c for rcd kings, where thc Wrangcll buyers were offering Joe. The Sukine river gill uetters will therefore lose lc per pound ou red kings when they sell to Ketchi- kan buyers at a lower price n or der Co boycott tho Wraugcll buyers
 "Wc are offering the trollcrs on thc grounds Che following prices. Round reds. 9c; round whites. 5c: dressed reds. 1Olsc; dressed whites. Gee. All the Wrangcll buyers are willing To pay the above prices We would gladly pay more if we could. but Che Seattle prices for fresh fish nt present win not justify us iu pay Ing any moro.
 "Tho trollcrs are asking on Che grounds Che following prices Round reds gc: round whites. 5c, dressed reds. lie. dressed whites. 5c. This is difference from our prices Of lc on whites and isc on rcds Ddrc#. cd Gshl.
 "Whcn Che fishermen found they could not get us to sign up at their prices they cablod Co Kctrhbm Co have buyers from there come Co the wraurcu fishing grounds. Tho KctchIkau buyers. we understand have not signed mp with thc Wron rclI fishermen. although tho Stikiuc fishermen claim that Che reason they are boycotting us is because WIG have not signed up We know that mo buvcrs from Ketchikau OF anywhere else can sign up for Che whole sea son for the prices asked by thc fish ormcn. After the Ketchitan buyers have had tho cream of the sikInc run they will be at liberty to quit buying in this locality and will most likely do SO unless the fishermen vii' accept lower prices.
