 SCENE BLOODY
 STREET FIGHTS
MoRGUEs ARE cHoKED WITH DEAD AND HOSPITALS oVER- FLOWING WITH WOUNDED - PREMIER SHUTS FIRED UPON

JOHANNESBURG, March 13-Strik- ing miners of the surrounding gold fields aided by bands of Boers are clos ing in on Johannesburg and the out lying districts of Fordsman and Jeppe are scenes of real battles. The mor- gues of the city are choked with corpses and all the hospitals are over crowded with wounded Many of the wounded and dead are women. The condition of the city is precarious.
 AS General Shuts was being driven toward the Rand his car was fired on and fairly riddled with bullets. The General escaped without injury.
 Fighting between the striking min- CTS and police is heavy today. The miners captured thte manager of the Brakpan mine and two constables, and shot them both. Martial law has been proclaimed.
 Troops today cleared out HOO rev olutionists from Brixton Ridge, clear ing the neighboring ridges where the positions were strong and the rebel To- cations presented grave menace.

seiners to fish the river. The result was that the fish were evidently driv- en from the river or something hap pen to them resulting in an alarming scarcity of fish. Steps were taken to prohibit purse seining in the river and the supply of fish is again increasing.
 The great argument used against the canneries is that they are destroy ing the natural food of the natives of Alaska. The fact of the matter is that the native of Alaska is turning more to white mems food and living less on fish, and the reason is he is becoming self supporting and civilized by con- tact with industry and commerce. The greatest blow that can be dealt the Alaska native, especially in southwest ern Alaska, will be the closing of the canneries by unwise legislation. The Alaska canneries are replacing the Oriental help with native help and tho experiment is proving a success.
 Tn 1913, after the Katmai eruption the government took the nativen of the village of Katmai and carried them to Perryville and set them down in strange surroundings with no alterna- tive but to starve to death Mission aries appealed to us to employ these people in our cannery, waich we did. The first year very poos results were obtained. We now employ the whole tribe of Katmai Indians and they have proved to be the eGua Ito Oriental la Dor. Other came cies in southwestern Alaska have followed our example and the Alaska native in this section has found meals to make livelihood
 We maintain school for the chil- 1 dren and/employ a teacher at our own expense. Comfortable living quarters are provided and the cannery workers are paid $4 day for their work and the Katmai natives which were put down at Perryville to starve are now self-supporting and independent, point ing the way for other natives to do likewise and such is the case through | out southwestern Alaska"
 Fishing conditions differ in the Ter. ritory. What is beneficial in south eastern Alaska would be detrimental in the southwestern part of the Terri tory, thousand miles away. There native fishermen are available, and at the end of the fishing season they can
 turn to other industries. Here they are dependent upon the canneries for their living and when the season is
 over must leave for other sections to
 hunt and trap for the winter. By elim- | mating traps in southeastern Alaska it
 would increase the number of men in
 the business; here it would compel the I canneries to close down."
 MT. Osmund arrived on the North.
 wesetrn accompanied by his wife ano I departed on the Starr for sChignik. He is pioneer in the fishing business ir Alaska having come north for the l Alaska Packers thirty-one years ago MT. Osmund is now operating the Col umbia River Packing Company's can l, nery at Chignik and is very proud O ! the achievement of his company il ,I demonstrating that the Alaskan na tive can be used as cannery help il : place of the Oriental MT.

DR. f.M. BOYLE
 RETURNS FROM EAST

Dr. F. M. Boyle, president of the Evans-Jones Coal Company, with mines at Jonesville, near Eska, -eturn- ed on the steamship Northwestern from an extended visit to California, Chicago and Rochester, Minn., where he took a post graduate course at the Mayo Bros. hospital. Dr. Boyle stated that he found conditions quiet In the East, but predictions of a resumption of trade were being made by business men.
 Dr. Boyle went East in the interests of his company, and was highly suc- cessful in interesting capital in the proposition. While East he secured a contract from the government to supply the Alaska Engineering Con- mission with 150 tons of first grade coal daily The company will work fifty men this season, placing coal on the cars at s7.50 per ton for picked lump; nut coal at s6.50; and steam coal at $5.75.
 The mine has three large veins of coal, one 11-foot seam, one 71s and one four foot Three spurs have been built by the company, and 1500 feet of work driven. A 12-foot seam was encountered recently, which bids fair to rival any coal yet produced by the mine. ,T:ss5ss
 Speaking of the fuel situation Dr. Boyle said that if his company went through with the plans perfected, 1t would be able to supply coal cheaply and in quantity. He stated that 1t could be retailed in Seward at $10 per ton and might even reach a lower price. !
 The Doctor stated that he had also been able to interest capital in the birch timber proposition of Messrs. Leopold David, Milo Kelly and Beeson. A number of lumbermen from Seattle will be here in April to investigate the proposition. A large shipment of this timber was made recently and found to be excellent for veneering. The company has a tract of 25,000 acres of fine birch, and will be able to SUD- ply the Pacific coast at price far be low the Eastern product, which retails at $40 per thousand board feet.

In speaking of the White Law, which has been recently introduced in Con- gress by Representative White of Maine, placing such restrictions on the operation of salmon traps that pTacti- cally eliminatesthem, MT. Osmund had his to say: "The cannery people re- alize that some restrictions must be- placed on commercial fishing in order to preserve the supply. We are willing o abide by all reasonable restrictions. When the order came to quit fishing in salmon streams we at Chignik were nore than willing to move our traps toI comply with the law and other cannery people did likewise. We have no more desire to exterminate the fish than any ,ne else. We recently put the whole matter of fishing in Alaskan waters up to Secretary Hoover and announced we were willing to abide by whatever rules and regulations he saw fit to im- pose after an investigation of condi- tions. If he saw fit to stop commercial ishing altogether for a time we were willing to abide by his decision. All hat we asked was years notice so we could lay our plans accordingly. Nothing could be more fair than this. ;ut we do object to the interference ,f politicians such as William L. Paul md others who claim to have the in- ,erests of the Alaska native at heart put know nothing of actual conditions.
 "They say that traps are destroying he salmon of the Alaskan waters continued MT. Osmund. "I say that ;uch is not the case at Chignik. When
 came to Chignik thirty-one years ago
 here was but one cannery. Our best ;eason for many years was 8O.OOO
 :ases and many years we got no more
 han 50,O00 cases. Today the average .atch in Chignik Bay is 240,000 cases, nd we have three canneries. Are the lsh getting less? I say not" /
 "One reason that there are more ish in Chignik Bay than there was
 ears ago is because of the traps. The
 raps enable us to destroy the greatest
 ,nemy of the salmon, the trout. When we first put in traps at Chignik we
 ,aught scow loads of trout Each year
 ye have caught less and less trout un-
 il now we catch very few. The sal- mon on the other hand have increased in number. The government is pre- pairing to spend large sums of money for the destruction of trout. It had better save the money and allow the cannery people to emplo y the best method to lessen the number of trout by catching and destroying them in their traps.
 Another good feature of the trap, ; explained Mr. Osmund, 'is that we do not catch more fish than we want. If there are more fish in the traps than we can use we leav ethem in the traps md they are kept alive and fresh, or we turn them loose to go on their way. Fish traps only fish in one spot and this feature is an improvement over purse seining and gill netting which permit the fishermen to chase the schools and break them up. We have a comparison of the two methods of fishing on the Columbia river There have been fish traps on the Columbia for a great many years and there al ways has been supply of fish. A few years ago they permitted the purse
