TOZIER WILL BE IN MILD CURING GAME
 AGAIN THIS SEASON

G. H. Tozier, who has been in the States for the past four months, arrived home this week. When asked concerning the outlook for the present season, MT. Tozier stated that unless fish can be obtained at reasonable figure there will not be much mild curing in Alaska this year owing to the fact that a con- bine has recently been formed by Instos, Hellman and Oxenburg Bros of New York to reduce the price of mild cured fish to the smokers. This combine, MT. Tozier states, agrees to do the buying for the smokers from the packers on the Pacific Coast.
 During the coming season MT. Tozier will operate through Wran- gell, Juneau and Ketchikan.

OUTER MEAT MARKET INSTALLS HIGH CLASS
 PARTICIPATING UNIl

The Coulter Meat Market this week installed a York self-contained refrigerating unit which is in itself complete refrigerating plant, eff cient, economical and permanent.
 The ammonia compression is the standard York enclosed type. Tho compressors are equipped with sue tion and discharge stop valves, high pressure gas relief valve, suction and discharge pressure gauges. suc- tion strainer and oil level glass. The cylinders, crank, case and base are all cast in one piece which in- sures a rigid machine, eliminates joints and permits the boring of three bearings at one operation thereby insuring perfect alignment of the shaft with the compressor.
 The compressor cylinders are pro- tected against scoring from pipe scale and other foreign matter by the suction strainer. The strainer is easily removed for cleaning.
 There are numerous other advan. tageous features. It is an outfit worthy of being inspected by any one interested in high class ma chinery equipped with the most modern safety devices.

Old Timer Tells of Experiences In Wrapgell and the Cassiar
 More Than Fifty Years Ago

year before by Mccullough and Thi- bert These two men came into the country overland from Winnipeg and went up the Deloir. They re- ported finding fine gold on the bars of the Deloir, but Mccullough was frozen to death a few miles from the mouth of the Stikine on what was called the desert.
 It was the news these men brought that had induced my father to go into that country.
 At the foot of Dease Lake we found a new boat tied up. We went up the creek and found three French men: Henry Thibert, Tifair and Lozon. During the previous winter they had pulled their supplies on hand sleds from the mouth of tho Stikine to the foot of Dease Lake
 We found the men making a. high as six ounces of coarse gold day with a rocker. We found ground also but it did not pay so well. My brother John and myself went back 12 miles up the lake. W, prospected on a creek we named Dease Creek and found good pay When we went back to Thibert creek all the miners went over to Dease Creek. We elected William Rath recorder. My brother and got discovery claim. We made about 5000 with rockers. William Leinan wrote the news to Victoria. In the fall we found at least 50 men at Bucks Bar waiting for the freeze up to go into the Cassiar.
 During the year 1874 the stern wheel steamer Gienora, owned and operated by Capt. John Irving, ant the steamer Hope, owned and ope- rated by Oddis Parsons, were put on the river. These boats only got as far as Glenora Landing. During these years my father built a pack trail from Glenora to Dease Lake. My brother John and I operated claims on Dease and Thibert creeks and realized over s9O,OOO from them.
 In 1875 my father had built a sternwheel steamer which he ope- rated on the Stikine for several years going up as far as Telegraph Creek. The next sternwheel steamer was the Beaver from the Columbia River. The next was the Nellie from Puget Sound and the next wa. the Cassiar. My father built and operated a sternwheel steamer heavy built from Victoria to the Boun. dary line on the Stikine come ctine with the Gertrude.

Moore, who began operating steam CTS on the Stikine in 1862. MT Moore now resides at Kotlik, Alaska During the Klondike rush he knew MT. Lloyd at Dawson and Forty mile. He saw MT. Lloyd's name listed in the Pathfinder of Alaska magazine as president of Pioneers of Alaska at Wrangell and was prompted to write to him in a remi- niscent vein. In relating his ex- periences out of Wrangell in the early days MT. Moore gives the fol- lowing interesting account of min ing activities up the Stikine more than 50 years ago.-Editor.]
 In the year 1862. my father, Captain William Moore, brought his sternwheel steamer from British Columbia up the coast under her own steam with a barge in tow loaded with miners and goods. At Fort Wrangell they had to cut their own wood for the steamers use.
 My father operated his steamer on the Stikine river up to Shakesyille at that time the center of mining on the bars of the river. He ran the steamer successfully, notwithstand' ing he had considerable trouble with the Indians who claimed that the steamer made so much noise the wheel, etc., would stop the sal mon from ascending the river. How ever, he had talk with Chief Shakes, gave him some presents and paid toll to the Indians. He was allowed then to run the steamer without further trouble.
 The steamers name was "Th Flying Dutchman." It was the frs sternwheel steamer to enter Alaska waters. Her name can be seen on the old Russian charts.
 After operating on the Stikine ht returned to Victoria with a full load of passengers among whom were John Fell and his son, F. Fell. They were merchants for many years in Victoria.
 The Western Union Telegraph Co. operated the Mumford, Captain Coffin master, during the year 1865 or 1866. The Mumford ascended the Stikine only as far as Ice Mountain. In 1873 my father, my two brothers John and Henry, and myself went to Wrangell in schooner from Brit ish Columbia. At Wrangell we found w. K. Lear, a trader, occupying the abandoned U. S. barracks; Charlie Brown, also a trader, and MT. Den uis, the U. S. customs collector. W brought supplies for the Hudson.' Bay Company, their post being about 35 miles up the Stikine. A Canadian Frenchman, A. ChoQuette commonly called Buck" was their trader. He transported the good from Wrangell to the post by canoes
 Among the miners who went witt our party into the Cassiar were William Rath, his brother, George Rath. Richard Lyons, William Lyons and William Walden. We went up the Stikine in small barge lowed and poled up past the Hud- sons Bay post. The first white man we came to was a man named Miller who was sluicing on the high bar. Miller was a trader also. / man named Collins was sluicing fol fine gold above Miller. My father left half of his supplies with Miller. We then poled up to Telegraph Creek, named by the telegraph em. ployees. There we tied up our barge md made two packs apiece to Dease Lake, then went back in the barge to Miller's place and got the re- mainder of our supplies which made us two packs apiece. We went down Dease Lake on rafts and one boat which had been left there the
