FEDERAL fisheries officers say sockeye returns to the Skeena River are on target for this season.

“Ie looks like it’s coming in as predicted or possibly better than predicted so that’s good news,” fisheries official David Einarson said.

The predicted return was 1.23 million and so far, numbers of fish are sitting between 800,000 and one million, he said.

The chinook fishery is also in good shape so far this season.

“There’s been some good catches lately, The abundance appears to be above average ~ not a record or anything like that but that’s good news,” Einarson said.

It’s still too early to tell how coho, chum and pink salmon stocks are doing but Einarson pre- dicts the returns should be on par with the past two years.

First Nations groups continue to fish for food, social and ceremonial purposes this season,

“They have a communal licence and every

communal licence has an allocation of salmon,” explains Einarson. -

“They can’t sell them of course, just for food, social and ceremonial programs.” _ a

The Gitanyow are permitted to fish on the Nass River.

They have been allocated 6,000 sockeye, 250 coho, 185 pink, 25 chum and 620 chinock.

The Gitxsan can catch 100,000 sockeye, 2,500 coho, 25,0C0 pink, 500 chum and 10,000 chinook on the Skeena River.

The Kitselas First Nation also fishes on the Skeena River. -

They’ve been atlocated 12,000 sockeye sal- mon, 75 coho, 150 pink, 60 chum and 210 chi- nook.

The Kitsumkalum Band Council’s communal . licence harvest targets are 12,000 sockeye, 200 coho, 1,000 pink, 500 chum and 1,000 chinook.

That liscence is also for fish caught from the Skeena River.

Tree planting camp robbed

A LOCAL reforestation company is looking at a $10,000 bill if items stolen from a bush camp recently aren’t returned to him. Justin Spearing, opera- tions manager for Little Trees Reforestation Ltd., says a tree planting camp

located roughly 100 kilo- metres north of Kitwanga was robbed sometime be- tween June 29 and July 6.

It’s the second time in nine months one of his camps has been pillaged.

“It's hard enough now just to keep people work- ing - [ve got 20 local guys that are working right now and I. can’t run a camp until I replace that equipment or get that” equipment returned to me,” Spearing says.

Stolen was a Weather- haven white canvas tent with blue accents and an eight to 10-foot aluminum frame.

A custom-made 10-foot by 20-foot white canvas tent and accompanying poles were also taken.

The thieves stole be- tween 200 and 300 feet of garden hose, a water filtra-

“That’s the camp infra- structure,” he says. “The basic needs are severed.”

Spearing's even offered a $500 reward for the. safe return of the equipment.

“T depend on _ that equipment and so do many other people,” he says.

Roof work set to start

THE RE-ROOFING of Mills Memorial Hospital should get underway next week, hospital officials say. “We should be done no later than the middle of

August,” maintenance supervisor Bruce Nicholls said,

The Northern Health Authority is paying local firm Telkwa Roofing $124,800 to do the work.
