Elma Jackson, of Salmon River, reports
salmon running slow.
John Affolter came in oyer the Slab

Slab Creek ranches are opening up
gradually, with quite a number of good

Two more sealing schooners have ar­

two-thirds of the sealers have reached

to arrive are said to be near Victoria.
An estimateof the catch, as far as can be

about 16,000 skins, taken by 331 |
schooners in the sea, which is about 8000 I
less than taken in the Behring Sea last ,
year by 25 schooners. All the catches
of the schooners have been reported with
the exception of four, and some of those
have been heard from, although not with
sufficient accuracy to justify the report
being given as correct. The 29 vessels
