ANNETTE ISLAND FISHERY RESERVE 



The Annette Island Canning Co. operated in the Annette Island 

 Fishery Reserve, as in the previous year, under its lease from the 

 Department of the Interior. 



Eight traps operated by the company in the reservation caught a 

 total of 964,741 salmon in 1935, and 48,552 salmon taken by seines 

 were purchased from the natives. In addition, 823,063 salmon were 

 purchased from independent operators of traps and seines outside the 

 reserve. Of this number, 1,655 were sold to another company and 

 the remainder were packed at the cannery. In the operation of the 

 plant and the fish traps employment was given to 29 whites and 181 

 natives. 



Profits to the Metlakatlan Indians of the reserve on the cannery 

 operations for 1934 under the provisions of the lease amounted to 

 $51,570.60. Preliminary estimates for the year 1935 place the figure 

 at about $55,000.
