Heavy Tax Increases
On Salmon Packs
Reported in Prospect
Tentative schedules tor the reve
nue measure tor the next biennium
some of them showing heavy in
creases over any former similar
schedule, will, it is reported, be an
nounced next Monday by Rcpre
semta'ive Ross, Chairman of the Com
mittee on Ways and Means. The
most striking advance in taxes, it Is
said, will be those proposed on sal
mon canneries.
It is understood that a sliding
scale of pack taxes lias been ap
proved by the Committee which calls
for heavy case taxes on large packs.
This scale, it is reported, is de
signed not only as a revenue pro
ducer. but largely as a means of
Conserving the salmon supply. In that
it tends to make such packs less at
tractive front a standpoint of profits.
Mr. Ross declined to comment on
the reports today, but said that the
Ways and Means Committee would
make its tentative schedules public
shortly and give every one interested
rn opportunity to be heard.

Island blue fox ranch re-ports that a
wolf from Prince of Wales Island
recently swam tho two miles and a
half to Patterson Island and when
first sighted ty the keepers of the

were some distance away and the
noise of their approach warned the
wolf, who left the? half eaten deer
and was already some distance from

Wales Island before they reached the
beach. The degr ‘ furnished a feast
for the blue foxes.—(Ketchikan

DEVELOPMENT AT
YAKATAGA BEACH
TO START SOONi
I
Contract Closed for Drilling!
—Opens Field Tributary
Here, Says Foster.
Drilling for oil at Yakataga Beach
will be started this summer, a deal
having just been closed here insuring
thorough prospecting of the field
there, according to an announcement I
made today by Representative Frank
H. ‘Foster, cf Oordova, who with sev
eral other Cordova men is interested
in the field. “Development of this <
field will mean much to Juneau as 1
it is directily tributary to this city 1
and work there will benefit the town -
more than any other in the Terri- 1
tory,” said Mr. Faster. t
In announcing the forthcoming ex- f
plorations at Yakataga, he said: <
"Mr. John Fleming, representing W- 1
A. Munley, former United -States At
torney at Valdez, a group of Portland I
and Montana capitalists, has con 1
traded with parties owning cl a'ana l
at Yakataga Beach fr the develop- t
inent of these claims, five in num- <
her, with a gross area of 12,.160 acres.
Tile contract calls for transportation
of ie drills to be started to the
field not later than June 25. The
outfit will be landed at Mt. St. Elias,
or Icy Bay, and carried direct to the \
scene of drilling. The agreement (
reached between the permittees and ,
the capitalists interested ill the deal
calls for wells to be driven 3,000 '
feet unless oil is encountered at
lesser depth. Equipment to carry
the holes down to the maximum
dep‘h will be sent North at the out- '
set."
This Is the first actual develop- [
meat to be undertaken at Yakataga ‘
Beach, w’hlch is declared. In the moil
recent reports of the Geological Sur-i
vey, to be a field highly favorable'
for drilling and one that promises'
good results. Other groups of claims
n the same neighborhood, it is re
torted, will be drilled on this sum
mer, presumably by the same inter
ests undertaking the initial opera
tions.
The claims involved in the present
deal include the Ross, lbaoh, Wolfe.
Currier and Tuerck. They are locat-'
ed adjacent to the Mike Sullivan!
holdings and are between White
River and Pool Creek.
(So confident are those holding
ground in the district that oil In
commercially paying quantities will
be struck that plans for opening up
a towns :te are already made. The
center will be at Mt. St Elias Bay.
This was charted last year by the
Coast and Geodetic Survey, which
showed at the entrance a channel
one mile wide and eight fathoms
deep. The harbor affords fair shelter
and good anchorage, it is said.
