4000,Foot Tunnel to Be Driven, Blocking Out Millions of Tons of High Grade Ore.

The coming season will see some important development work in the Grounding Basin, according To J. G. Calvin Who returned to Wrangell rem New York a few days ago.

 Mr. Calvin is leaving again for the States in a few days to pur- chase some more equipment He will bring back another big air compressor. a caterpillar and sey- eral thousand feet of rails

WRANGELL FISH
 TO EUROPE
Initial Shipments Are Con- sidered the Beginning of an Important Export Trade That Will Mean Much to the Town.

Export fish shipments from Arange1 totaling 3OS boxes of salmon To the European market is a very good beginning in the fish export business. And from these initial shipments it is expected that an important foreign trade in connection with the fish business will be developed which will mean much to Nrangell
 C. c. Mundy. a well known To- cal fish buyer has already made the following export shipments:
 To Antwerp. % boxes salmon.
 To Liverpool. II boxes salmon.
 To London. n boxes salmon.
 fhe fourth shipment. consisting of 200 boxes of salmon. will go to London. and will be shipped from NfangeH on the Alameda, sailing from this port on January 26.
 An important export business for NrangeIl in more lines than one is slowly but surely coming to be a reality. Four months ago the big steamship Commercial Guide tied up at the local sawmill dock fO take on a big cargo of lumber which was the first shipment of lumber to go from Alaska to the Atlantic Coast via the Panama Ga= nal This was in reality a foreign shipment inasmuch as the cargo upon it's arrival in New York was divided up and reshipped to yari- ous points in the United Kingdom.
 That an export fish business of no little importance is already lin- cd up for 1927 is indicated by the announcement of Mr Mundy that he has contracted for the entire cold storage space of the Wrangell Ice and Storage Company, the com ing season.

WELL-INTENTI0NED BUSYBODIES

The most remarkable feature in connection with agitations by va rious societies for the conservation of this and that in Alaska, is that these well-intenioned busybodies nrefer to do their work at long range instead of directing 1t on the ground.
 Now comes the Audubon society with it's periodical agitation against killing Alaskan eagles, setting up in defense of the birds that they do not prey upon small game.
 It might be interesting to the Fasteners to know that the ray- ages cf the eagles in some parts or Alaska have almost depleted 1t or ptarmigan, rabbits and grouse. The havoc they raise with fox IS tremendous loss to the fox farmer
 The best way to cure these socle- ties of the habit of interfering In affairs that are purely Alaskan IS to set them down on salt pork and heans for a season. They would De- gin to eat the eagles along wlth tbe remnants of ptarmigan ana rsbhits left by the glorious olro of prey."-seward Gateway.

HIGH SCHOOL DEFEATS
 TOWN BASKETBALL TEAM

The High school team defeated the Town team last Friday to the tune of 17-15. This ties the series with the Town team who defeated the Hi earlier in the season.
 The Hi showed very good often sive and defensive strength. They have their last year center. Liv- ingston Desmond. back again and it has the team on their toes mak- ing arrangements for the tourna- ment that is to be played at Ket- chikan this year.
 The Town team took the offen- sive and held the lead for the first quarter and then lost it and never regained it again although keeping within one basket of it until the end. The Town team substituted Bowman for Willard during the first quarter and then changed Willard for Bowman. Lee went in for Osborn in the last quarter and the Hi made no substitutions. Prescott and Lewis played the strong game for the town and Des- mond's shooting and Bailey's guarding were the stronghold of the High school.
 The two teams will play off the tie later in the season and it will be advertised in proper time to get a few more enthusiasts out to see the game, as Fridays game was very poorly attended.

THE GREAT GLACIER
 OF THE STIKINE

The following description of the Great Glacier was written by Donald Richfield and submitted in the Pioneer. s essay contest of high school students on Alaska Day Donald made the trip up the Stikine last summer. The article is published at the request of the Wrauge1 Commercial Club. be- cause of the need of authoritative
 =I-#raatiOn regarding the beauties Of the stikine river trip.-Ed.l
 The Great Glacier pours it's mighty ice stream into the stikine valley from between two peaks. It's birthplace looms up in the dis. tanee. Il looks like a huge high s9uy running into the mountains. It's face is eight or nine miles long Along it's face are two large lakes and hundreds of small ponds and lakes. One of the larger lakes F. two or three miles long and from one hundred to five hundred yards wide.
 In some places the cliffs are from fifty to one hundred feet high. In other places it slopes down to the waters edge. When you go up on the ice river you can look down into the blue depth of it through the numerous ereYasses and ice pipes Sometimes you can see the water raging under the ice. In the summer time when the sun sets it is very beautiful.
 In some places the water comes out in tiny streams from ice pipes high up in the ice cliffs. In others it comes in raging torrents from beautiful blue tunnels in the ice. Sometimes it comes peacefully through huge blue cayerns whose roofs are high enough for a tall man to stand up in. In other places it seems to well up out of the ground.
 Across the river from Great Gla- cier is another. but smaller glacier and some hot springs which are a natural wonder. having the two ex- tremes of nature so close together of years ago Indian leg ends say that these two glaciers formed a huge dam across the river which was pierced by tunnel. These legends are backed up by made by Muir and other naturalists. These glaciers have reeeded until the smaller is about three miles from the river bank and Great Glacier is about one and one-half miles from its bank.
 Along the river is shown this great earth caryer's strength There are bolders balanced on one corner which rock when the Sti- kine wind blows. There are huge trenches that it has gouged out.
 No one who has looked through its ice pipes and crevasses from the top of it will ever forget the ma jestie beauty of it, for it will be en- grayed upon the mind forever.
