In 1901 both plants became part of the Pacific Packing 8c Navi- 

 gation Co. In 1902 the Gerard Point plant was closed and was not 

 opened again. In 1903, 1904, and 1905 the Santa Anna plant was 

 closed also. Early in 1905 these plants were purchased by the 

 Northwestern Fisheries Co. at the assignee's sale of the old corpora- 

 tion's properties. The Santa Anna plant was operated in 1906 and 

 has been operated each year since. 



The Chilkat Canning Co. put up a plant at Chilkat village, on 

 Chilkat Inlet, in 1889. It was operated from 1889 to 1893, and

 Island, Boca de Quadra, and dry-salted dog salmon. He operated 

 only one season. 



In 1890 a cnnncry was built by the Bartlett Bay Packing Co. on 

 Bartlett Bay, Icy Straits, and operated by Williams, Brown & Co., 

 of San Francisco. A saltery was constructed here prior to that date, 

 and in 1889 a pack of 4,300 cases was made in a crude way. In 

 1891 the ice piled up in Glacier Bay to such an extent that the cannery 

 could do almost nothing. It was not operated after this date. In 

 1893 it became a part of the Alaska Packers Association and was 

 dismantled in 1894.
