PACIFIC SALMON FISHERIES. 45 
in 1906 by the Pacific American Fisheries. In 1908 it was moved to 
Excursion Inlet and has been operated each season to date. 
The Tacoma Fishing Co. in 1902 established a saltery and halibut 
station at Tee Harbor, on Lynn Canal, and made a pack that year. 
Later it became the property of the International Fisheries Co. In 
1910 the plant was purchased by the Tee Harbor Packing Co., which 
established a cannery and operated first in 1911. It has been operated 
each season since, being sold to the Alaska Pacific Fisheries Co. in 
1920. 
The Seattle-Scandinavian Fish Co. built asaltery on Snug Harbor, 
Tenakee Inlet, Chichagof Island, in 1902, and made a pack. It packed 
in 1903 also, but shut down in 1904. The plant was leased in 1905, 
and then shut down for good. 
The Alaska Fish & Mining Co. built and operated a saltery at 
Revilla, on Tongass Narrows, during the single season of 1902, while 
the Rice Fisheries Co., in the same year, built and operated a saltery 
on Boca de Quadra. 
The United Fish Co., of Seattle, salted at Tolstoi Bay, east side 
of Prince of Wales Island, 1903 and 1904. 
In 1907 the Alsek Fisheries Co. did some salting on the Alsek River. 
Malcolm Campbell was interested in the above company and in sub- 
sequent years operated under his own name. In 1910 the St. Elias 
Packing Co. established a cannery near the saltery and made a pack 
the same year, and in 1911 and 1912. Since then the plant has been 
closed and was sold in 1916 to Libby, McNeill & Libby. 
The Astoria & Puget Sound Packing Co., in 1908, built and operated 
a cannery on Excursion Inlet. It was closed the following year, but 
has been operated each year since. It was burned in 1917, but was 
rebuilt in time to operate the following season. 
The year 1911 witnessed a considerable increase in the number of 
canneries. Among the new plants built and operated were the follow- 
ing: Hidden Inlet Canning Co., Hidden Inlet, Portland Canal; Hawk 
Fish Co. (later changed to P. E. Harris & Co.), Hawk Inlet, Admiralty 
Island; Lindenberger Packing Co., Roe Point, Behm Canal; Deep 
Sea Salmon Co., Cape Edwards, Chichagof Island; L. Gustave & Co., 
Skowl Arm, Prince of Wales Island (changed in 1912 to Skowl Arm 
Packing Co.), and M. E. Lane (a small hand-pack plant), Myers 
Chuck, Cleveland Peninsula. 
An innovation in Alaska salmon canning this year was when the 
old ship Glory of the Seas was fitted out as a floating cannery by the 
Alaska Fish Co., and operated in Hawk Inlet, Admiralty Island, and 
at Ketchikan. Quarters for the crew were built over the cabins on 
the quarter deck, the latter being reserved for officials. The remain- 
der of the upper deck was used for receiving, dressing, and cleaning 
the fish, which were brought on board by means of a portable elevator 
attached to the side of the ship. The ‘‘iron chink” and the sliming 
and cleaning tanks were also on this deck. The fish were carried in 
chutes to the second deck, where a line of sanitary machinery had 
been installed. The retorts were placed on the forward part of the 
second deck. The third deck was used for cooling and storing the 
pack. No lacquering or labeling was carried on aboard the vessel. 
In 1912 this plant and the ship William H. Smith, the latter by the 
Weiding & Independent Fisheries Co., of Seattle, were operated. 
The William H. Smith also did some freezing of salmon.
