Both seiners and are making good catches. At the end of last week, the Hawk Inlet plant was 2,000 cases behind| Jast season’s pack at the same date. Since that time, the differ-| ence has been wiped out and by to-) night the plant will be ahead of | the pack at this time last year.

Mining Is Normal 1 Mining activities in the interior | are about normal this season, it| was said. The Fairbanks Exploration Company is operating a fleet of five dredges at full capacity. Dif- ficulties such as were encountered in thawing of frozen ground in past years apparently have been overcome, and operations are going ahead according to the company's predetermined program. The re- sults this year seem to be entirely satisfactory to the management and the general opinion of the dis- trict is that the returhs are verv satisfactory. Indications point to & revival of individual mining operations which have been at a low' point for sev- eral years. Many small properties are being examined for future work, and a few are being started up now. Lower prices and improved labor conditions are the main fac- tors in this devlopment. Quiet as a Whole On the whole, however, business conditions were found to be quiet. The tourist business has shown a heavy decline, and this is being felt adversely by business and transportation interests. Mt. McKinley National Park is the one exception. Tourist trade there has been as good as that of | 11929 up to the present time, but not as heavy as had been expected. Many bookings were cancelled, but the company operating the conces- sions in the park are satisfied with the showing. Mr. Sommers will leave this eve- ning on the Northwestern for Skag- |way. Returning here on the same steamer, he will visit Sitka, Peters- burg and Wrangell next week. - e — There are now three claimants to the world’s heavyweight wrestling championship. Poor visibility impairs flying to- day, but Airways officials plan on having the Taku return to Juneau from Ketchikan thig evening. ————— PLANTS IN SLEEPING ROOM ARE DECLARED HARMLESS WASHINGTON, July 19.—Plants in a sleeping room generally are harmless to the occupant, in the opinion of Dr. A.
