The Oil Fields Magazine which

Norman oil fields and which should
iio of much interest to northerners.
Ti e shortest route to these fields
is by way of Careross, Y. T., and
should big development tako place,
litis route will surely become tho
popular ixie, both for ingress to the
country and for the outlet, for the
oil us it is produced.

five hundred miles by this route.

is as good commercial oil as has

Spring Salmon
Run Has Begun
Ketchikan Advices Say Fish
erman Are Making Good
Cut dies Tliis Spring
Reports from Ketchikan state
that the spring run of King salmon
has started in the waters adjacent
lo that city. Fishermen are bring
ing in large catrlies daily and many
power and hand trollers are out lo
reai> the harvest of the early run.
Indications point toward a suc
cessful season l'ur the trollers this
year. A comparatively light pack
of mild cured salmon was put up
during the past season and brokers
report that the supply of mild cured
has been entirely consumed by the
market. Mild curcrs are planning
upon putting up a big pack this
year, providing the fish run is large
and the fish are of sufficient sire
for mild curing purposes.
Two years ago there was an ex
ceptionally large run of King salmon
at Baranof and Korrester islands,
but the lisit we#e of such small size
that the pack secured was of poor
marketable grade and much of the
fish had lo be so'd at a considi table
loss. Salmon under the weight of
15 pounds are not considered sitit
ahe for mild curing.
Considerable difficulty has been
encountered by packers of mild
cured fish in disposing of the white,
king salmon. While the white salmon
is considered by many to be of
superior flavor than the red King,
there is little demand for the white
fish.
Early spring salmon taken at this
tiuie of the year are entirely con
sumed bv the fresh lish market. The
mild curing season does not begin
until about the middle of June.
Wrangeil Working
Hard For Public
Tennis Court
For some time, .Miss Ijtees, in
charge of girls' athletics in the
school, has boon working on plans
for a tennis court which could bo
used during the spring months
for outdoor athlotics. A number of
vacant lots in town were under con
sideration. The lots next to the
school yard were offered but they
are used for boys' ball games much
of the time and it was not the inten
tion to have the girls' athletics inter
fere with the boys sports. Other
lots were considered and measured
and he choice has now, falle"1 on
the property which lies between the
residence of i'.C. McCormack and
the Taylor place. This lot i9 high
and practically level and, with a
little work, will make an ideal tennis
court. Mr. McCormack this week
offered Miss Reos the use of the
lots, and the o.ler was accepted
immediately .
It is now planned to have the
court not only for the school, hut
for the use of the community lor
the summer month and as such it
it bids fair to be a popular place
as there are a number of devotees of
tennis in Wrangeil. Improvements
will be made as soon as possible.Nets
high enough to avoid the lossof balls
will enclose the court, some leveling
must be done ;yid the necessary arva
will bo graveled and cindered. •»
It is just a year ago that all Jun
eau worked to get a tennis court for
the Juneau school. All sorts of af
faii^ were given for a time to raise
funds and enthusiasm ran high. A
much larger sum was necessary for
the court there than will be needed
here and it should require only the
co-operation of the community for a
short time to got the local court in
to shape.—Wrangeil Sentincll.
Gets On The Wrong
Road And Has
NarrowEscape
Reverend Ruck Breaks Through

Dangerous Kvpericnce Rue lo Got'
'ing "I" (lie Main* Road.
Dnfaton.—Rev. F. H. Buck, who
left here for a long raush to Mayo
a ml throughout that district, had a
narrow escape on the trail shortly
after leaving the city. The news is
brought liv Isaac L.usk, who has re
turned from Hollenheck's, at the
North Fork, to which point he ac
companied his two teams-which are
on the way to Mayo.
Mr. lluck started mushing from
Dawson for Mayo with a pack of 40
pounds on liis hack. lie was in the
pink of condition and was making
splendid time. When a little above
Founder's ranch, on the Klondike,
;.e noticed a wood road which turned
down on the slough which leads past
the Girl Guide-camp. It had been
liloufil out more recently than the
main road, ami the surface condition
appeared more favorable for mush
ing, so Mr. Buck took the wood
road. H leads ulong the surface of
the slough. He had not gone far
until he suddenly stepped on what
proved to he weak ice, and it gave
way lic-neath bis Weight. He went
through the ice with a crash and
plunged into the chilly waters to his
w. -■!. He !,ad considerable difficulty
in getting out of the hole, and was
fortunate that he did not drop into
deeper water.
Alter making the bank ciliiied and
dripping with water, took the main
road and tramped three miles until
he made the Hay Ranch, where he
dried out thoroughly and was made
comfortable. It was fortunate that
it was not extremely cold when he
went into the water or the results
tni^lit have been serious.
