of Kuiu Island. In 1904 this plant was moved to the Kvichak 
River in Bering Sea. é 
Buhring & Heckman operated a small saltery in Union Bay, on the 
north side of Cleveland Peninsula, in 1901. Packing was carried on 
aboard a barge. 
In 1901 the Muir Glacier Packing Co. put up a saltery on Ideal 
Cove, Dry Pass, near Wrangell. It has operated mainly as a mild- 
cure station. It was closed down in 1903 but was opened in 1904. 
It was then closed in 1905, 1906, and 1907. It was opened in 1908 by 
K. J. Johansen and operated in 1908 and 1909. 
In 1902 the Kasaan Bay Co. built a cannery on the north side of 
Kasaan Bay, Prince of Wales Island, and made a pack the same year. 
It was shut down in 1904 and 1905, but reopened in 1906 by Gorman 
& Co., of Seattle, who had purchased control of the company. Shortly 
after the closing of the packing season the plant burned down, but it | 
was rebuilt in time to operate the following season. In 1909 the plant 
was closed, but was reopened in 1910. On September 12 of that year 
the plant was again destroyed by fire, but was rebuilt in time to operate 
the followmg season. On October 29, 1911, the plant was once 
more destroyed by fire, but was rebuilt in time to operate in 1912. 
In 1915 the plant was purchased and operated by the Anacortes 
Fisheries Co., a subsidiary of the Booth Fisheries Co. 
In 1902 the Alaska Fish & Lumber Co. built a cannery at Shakan, 
on Kosciusko Island, near the head of Prince of Wales Island, and 
made a pack the same year. It was shut down in 1904. In 1905 the 
property was taken over by the Shakan Salmon Co., a new company 
composed largely of members of the old corporation, who operated it 
that season. In 1906 Gorman & Co., of Seattle, obtained control of 
this cannery and operated it each season under the name of the Sha- 
kan Salmon Co. until 1915, when it was sold to the Anacortes Fish- 
eries Co., a subsidiary of the Booth Fisheries Co. 
In 1902 the Columbia Canning Co. built a cannery on the southern 
side of Chilkoot Inlet, and made a pack that year. In 1910 C. A. 
Burckhardt & Co., under the name of the Chilkoot Fisheries Co., pur- 
chased and operated this plant. In 1911 the name was changed to 
the Alaska Pacific Fisheries. Early in 1919 the plant was totally 
destroyed by fire. 
The only cannery in this section lost to Alaska by action of the 
Federal Government was that of the Wales Island Packing Co., which 
was built on Wales Island, near Dixon Entrance, in 1902. When 
the Alaska Boundary Arbitration Commission declared Wales Island 
a part of Canada in 1903, this cannery automatically ceased to be an 
American one. After the change of government it lay idle for some 
time, but is now in use once more by Canadian parties. 
In 1902 the Thlinket Packing Co. built a cannery on Funter Bay, 
on the west side of Admiralty Island, and made a pack that year and 
every subsequent year to date. 
The same year the Pillar Bay Packing Co. built and operated a 
cannery near Point Ellis, on Kuru Island, and operated it until 1918, 
when it was sold to the Fidalgo Island Packing Co. 
In 1902 the Alaska Fisheries Union, organized in Seattle, built a 
cannery on the east side of Chilkat Inlet, and made a pack that year. 
After operating to 1905, the plant was in that year leased to and 
operated by the Lynn Canal Packing Co. The plant was purchased
