FISH RUN CONTINUES
 BEST IN SEVERAL YEARS

According to the best information available a phenomenal run of fish continues in the outlying districts of Wrangell district, particularly in Icy Straits, Chatham Straits, Fred erick Sound and the west coast Of Prince of Wales Island.
 Wrangell district to date has been spotted but indications are that the fish are daily appearing in better numbers in Sumner Straits, Clar- enee Straits and on the mainland shore. Other sections are experi- encing the best run in many years. Bradfield Canal has had the best run of the district.
 Approximately a 125,000 escape ment has been counted through the weir maintained at Olive Cove. This is about three times as heavy as any seasons escapement since the in- stallation of the weir.
 The Sentinel was in error last week when it stated that the weir had been closed at Anan Creek. The count was held up one day by the congestion of the fish below the falls. Approximately 520,OO0 salm- on have been counted to date through the gate at Anan. This is the highest escapement by over 300, 900 since the installation of the weir six years ago.
 From all accounts the cannery packs of Wrangell district will run from sixty to seventy-five per cent higher than last years pack. It is estimated that about 15 per cent of the salmon being packed is brought from outlying districts, particularly Frederick Sound and Chatham fish.
 Evidence of fish was reported in the vicinity of Whale Passage and Eagle Creek on August 18th. Fish do not usually begin ascending these streams until after August 18th.

Cordova would be given eighth place. The above figures were giv- en by the local office and headquar- ters for census enumerators of AL aska.
 Census figures compiled at Wash ington would indicate that Alaska is either the greatest retreat for confirmed bachelors In the world, or holds the greatest possibilities for women. On the basis of returns to date, It is estimated that there are approximately 20.000 white men in Alaska and only 1000 white women.
 If every woman in Alaska should marry, she could send for two of her sisters and still be fairly certain of securing husbands for them. It is possible. however, that If this were done, the women shy" Alaskans would migrate.-Stroller's Weekly.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

At the weekly luncheon of the Chamber of Commerce held in the Wrangell Hotel Monday, a resolu- tion was passed petitioning the Post master General to consider the vital importance of granting air mail con- tracts to Alaska. The resolution points out that the development of the natural resources of Alaska is dependent upon transportation and communication, and that the air plane has to a great extent solved these problems, and is doing much to supplement our older and slower methods of transportation which have proven inadequate to our needs. However, the successful fi- nancial operation of commercial aviation in Alaska is absolutely de- pendent upon a steady source of re- venue, which revenue would be as- sured by the granting of air mail contracts, enabling said companies to operate over our regular routes on regular schedules at fair profit.
 H. R. Coulter and E. M. Campbell have been selected by the Wrangell Chamber of Commerce to represent lWrangell at territorial meeting of the commercial bodies at Anchor age on September 15, 16, ant IT, 1880. Inasmuch as the two dele gates named will very likely be in attendance at the annual conven- tion of the Alaska Department of the American Legion at Anchorage that month, it will be possible for them to represent Wrangell at the Chamber of Commerce convention without any expense to the local chamber.

SINCLAIR TELLS OF ALASKA
 BUSINESS C0NDnONS
toregonian: Aug. 6)

Things go on just the same in Alaska" remarked Donald Sinclair, owner of a general merchandise store in Wrangell, when he checked in at the registration desk for Port lands 18th annual Buyers week. Business conditions depend on the fish; as long as we have a good fishing season, business is good. And this year the season has been good"
 In the Is years Buyers week has been held in Portland, MT. Sinclair has missed only one. He's proud of that record, which few of the buyers here now can equal.
 The only wish he emphatically expressed yesterday was for a direct steamship line between Portland and Alaska-then he could come down more often.

CALVIN DISCOVERS M0LYBDENUM DEPOSIT
 ON BAKER ISLAND
(Alaska ,weekly)

For the past few years, J. G. Jerry" Calvin has known of a de- posit of molybdenum ore located up on the coast of Alaska, on Baker Island, at the entrance of Port San Antonio harbor. The discovery was made when MT. Calvin made a trip over to that section some time ago to investigate a zinc showing. Now, recently molybdenum has been coming into greatly increased prominence in the mineral world. Possibly the airplane has had some- thing to do with this; certainly im- provements in all kinds of machin- cry and machine tools has. Today this metal is quoted at the very at- tractive price of $11 per pound, and the supply is more or less limited; in fact, not quite up to satisfying the demand.
 A month or so ago MT. Calvin, having this deposit that be had seen years ago in mind, hopped on a steamer and went up to Baker Is- land, on the ocean side of Ketchi- kan, and made a more careful ex- animation of the deposit.
 It was even better than his recol- lection. The deposit Is 1,SG0 feet in width, and traceabIe on the sur face for a distance of more than a mile up from the beach. or to an elevation of approximately 1,5OO above the beach.
 Samples were taken annd brought to Seattle for assay, and the results were more than satisfactory. In ad- dition to traces of silver and gold In the three samples assayed the molybdenum content for the three samples respectively, was $147.4O, s1,332.60 and $S.SSO.SO per ton.
 Arrangements are now under way toward the organization of the San Antonio Metals Company to take over the properties staked by Mir. Calvin, who is leaving this week for the property, where he will put a crew of men to work to mine and sack and ship to Seattle a trial ship ment of from two to three hundred tons of molybdenum ore.
 Experts who have analysed the ore report that they found no im- purities and experienced no difficult ties in making a very complete sep aration of the mOlybdenum content. The company plans on erecting a plant in Seattle for the treatment of the ore and will not only treat and refine it in this city, but plan to market it as well.
 The product is used extensively in the manufacture of wire, cast ings, car steel, gun barrels, armor plate, crank and shaft forgings, high-speed machine tools as a sub stitute for platinum, bank vault doors, motor parts. spark plugs, leather dyes, in dentistry and in the manufacture of magnets-in fact. its uses in the manufacturing world are legion.

"Well, I'd like to have it in the

finally decided on Henry, and the
