Alaska News Notes

William PaVloff is reported by the Sitka Tribune to have said that the recent Taku breeze which visited that section blew down treason Long island, implanted deep in the ground, that had been there for one hundred years. One large tree was picked up bodily and carried over thirty feet through the air.
 James Clancy, 66, died recently at St. Anne hospital, Juneau, of cancer of the stomach. Clancy was '98er, and at one time was d resident of Valdez. Six of Clancy's old friends, aggregat- ing 1920 pounds in weight, were chosen as paIlbearers. They were James and Jack McCloskey. Charles HoXie, Dan Callahan, T. E. P. Keegan and II. J. . Raymond.
 The port officials at Prince Rupert, B. C., report that during the last year 2, 600, 900 pounds of halibut were re- ceived at that place. While the report does not state what proportion of the total came from Alaskan waters, fsher- men ,conVersant with the fishing grounds of Alaska and adjacent waters assert that more than one-half of the fish sold in Prince Rupert are taken in Alaskan waters.
 The Hyder Jumbo Mining Company has been organized in Seattle, with Charles k. Heron as president, to take over the Jumbo group of seven claims, adjacent to the Titan group on Fish creek, near hyder, formerly owned by Jack Sutherland and associ- ates, and the Star group of three claims on Ninemile, owned by Dan Anderson and partner. Associated with Heron are number of Seattle, Anchorage and Juneau business men.
 Much is expected from the work of the B. C., Silver people, who recently, by tunnel, crosscut vein 43 feet in width, with high grade ore, at a yer tical depth of 36O feet. This is sup POoCd CO OO d LII ULlC l mier mine ore body. A new compress sor has been ordered, in addition to 30 tons of additional equipment and SUD- plies. and 50O00 feet of lumber is on the ground for additional living guar ters.
 Ore assaying B ounces of gold per ton is reported as being taken out of 8 four-foot vein in the Alaska Premier mine near Hyder. The ore also carries substantial values in silver. The mine is located just south of the interna- tional boundary, on the Alaskan side, and is within the great sulphide belt i n which such properties as the Pre- mier, Indian, Virginia, Daly Alaska, St oner and other rich ore properties are located.
