Fruit Cannery Works 500 (;irls
The following f;om the Vnkima Re
publio concerning the fruit canning
Industiv at North Yakima, gives a
clear idea of the value of a cauuery to
a city:
Employed in the Webber-Russoll
ranncrv. and in the commission au
stiitiiiin. bouses on the went side of
the tiack, are about 500 Yakima girls.
Those who work at the cannery are
rreparina fruit for cauning purposes,
while those employed in the oommis'
tion bouses are packing fruit lor ship
ping purposes.
That a citv the size ot North Yaki
mn could Uud employment for
many young gills and women as this
seems remarkable. It goes to piove
however, that the fruit industry of
the Yakima valley is king of all others
at the present time, and the great de
mand for its fruit is shown in the
daily shipments to all points over the
country.
Shipped from here daily last wee
hv all the fruit dealers were on an av
erage of six cars of prunes, live cars
of peaches, three oars of oautaloupes
and watermelons, and two oars ot ap
pies. The largest shipper and those
who employ the greatest number i
ot
women and young sirla are the can
nery, the lakima Horticultural Un
ion, the Walla Walla Produce compa
ny, the Perry Commission bouse, aud
Kyau i ewtou. lu the face cl tne
fact that about 500 women aud girls
ere kept busy last week lu the truit
iudustiy. at least -00 more could be
used to graet advantage.
Ibis mot u I iix Andrew vtebtier, oi
the canning plant, called at the Ke
publio ottloe aud said that for the lack
of help iu the cauuery they would this
week be compelled to refuse any more
fruit from the growei. "We have
more fruit thau we oan take care ot,
and have eveu had to place some ot it
in oold storage. 'B want neip, auu
must have it or else we oan not oper
ate the cauuery. We can use &00 girls
easily, and the work is neither hard
nor disagreeable."
Shortage in Fruit Roxea.
Samuel Li. Cobb, manager of the
Standard ox company, tells the Jour
nal that the box faotorlea in rorlaud
are tiudlug it ditlloult to till their
orders.
"The apple aud prune crops iu the
ioiuity of Portland must be a record
breaker," said Mr. Cobb, "judging
trotu the unusual demaud for fitiit
boxes. The territory supplied by the
box manufaouriug i-ouoerus of this
lty is chiefly oouuned to Portland

we have had uo dtiUoulty iu supply

IAKING FORTUNE
AT NOME, ALASKA
SAM SAMSON'S MINE STILL PAYING
ent Away Fo Two Week, Rut Re
turns tu l lml IliniHolf t:to,ooo
RUIu-r-TclU A hunt Alaska.
It isn't every one that oau go away
fur a two week'i visit aud come back
to find a lettei awaiting them telling
that they have made t.10,000 while they
hare been gone. This however, is
bat Sam Samson did. As has been
stated before iu connection with three
partners he owns a mine near Nome,
Alaska, and while be has been away
they have takeu out over 100,000 iu
gold from the mine a and the letter
Samsou received told him all about
it.
So far K250.000 has been taken from
the Cyrus Noble miue which is the
uauie of the placer deposit of yellow
metal owned by Saiusou and his part
ners. Oue huudred aud seventy-five
thousand dollars ot this uas beeu
sluiced out and 80,000 more is ready
tor that operation.
Samson was at one time a resident
ot Hood River and is well acquainted
here, where lie has many friends. He
at oue time rau a shing)e mill at
Cbenowltb aud is something of a me
chanical genius, having tiled several
patents that had I hey arrived a few
bouts sooner at the patent ottice iu
Washington would have made him
ealthy. It was through these it is
laid that he lost most of his nioiuy
ud was forced to seek a new Held lo
recoup bimselt, blx years agobe went
to the gold Holds of Alaska aud com
menced prospecting and working ne, r
Nome.
For several y-nrs while be made a
living he was unable to Uud anything
it'll until hift January wheu the Cy
rus iNoule commenced to snow signs
of a line prospect aud later developed
into a most fortunate strike for hiui
ielf and paituers.
Samsou has just returped Horn a
tour of the eastern states and is at
preseut stopping at the Mount Hood
hotel, but will shortly start for Nome.
In talking about his mine and other
phases of life in Alaska the other day
he said :
Our miue is located about two
and one half miles from Nome aud
we have about 5 men employed. La-
or iu Alasaa is not as high as some
suppose although expensive enough.
We pay our meu fo a day and board
ud they work teu hours. This is tho
general price. There are labor unions
lu Alaska as elsewhere nut so lar inoy
have not caused any trouble. Proba
bly this is due to the fact that there
are so many out of work there. It is a
mystery bow tboy manage to eixst in
such au expensive country to live in,
but they do and life Is very much the
same there now as lu the states.
"Mining there is, however, attend
ed with a good many difficulties ev
ery foot ot ground excavated has to
be thawed out by steam, uoni costs
us f4 a ton. It is only 16 at Nome,
but it oosts us 8 to have it hauled
two miles and a half, aud iu the
pring it sometimes gets pretty
scarce, uur mine ii iiu leer, deep
with the ground frozeu all the way.
Ihe most dirt we have beou able to
take out lu a day is a yardage
equivalent to 8 feet deep aud 50 teet
long. This we do in winter and siuice
it out during the summer. The gold
is iu uuguets some of them pretty
large and come out free. We have an
other mine oalled the Diamond L
which we live not yet developed but
expect to do so before long. Near us
s the Alaruaret Aline owned ny a man
named Daly that will pan out between
WOO, 000 aud $100,000. The other
claims near us have been staked out
so many times and abandoned that it
is dillicultr to tell who(tbey do belong
to now. It takes nerve an staying
power to work a mine iu Alaska aud
a good many prospectors get discour
aged befote they make good."
When asked about the price oi liv
ing iu Alaska Samsou said that flour
oosts $6 a bar i el, butter 75 cents a roll
and other things in about the same
ratio., Drinks of ull kiuds are two
for a quarter beer as well as whiskey,
Kamuou expects to eleave ior oiiid
Sebptember 25, aud says that wheu ho
was there he was satisiied out now
that he has been iu the states for
awhile be looks forward to the long
oold winter in his far northern home
with some regret.
