PACIFIC SALMON FISHERIES. 57 
ALASKA PENINSULA, SOUTH SIDE, 
Ozernoy.—In 1889 a cannery, under the title of the Western 
Alaska Packing Co., was built at Ozernoy, on the western side of 
Stepovak Bay, south side of the Alaska Peninsula. It packed that 
year and in 1890, but the fish were so scarce that the cannery was 
dismantled in 1891 and the site abandoned. 
Nothing was done with it for some years, but about 1905 Bostrop 
Omundsen located there and established a saltery. In the winter of 
1912-13 August Lindquist purchased a half interest in the yee and 
it was operated under their joint names until the death of the sen- 
ior partner in the fall of 1915; since then it has been operated by 
Lindquist alone. 
Thin Point.—Thin Point is on the southern side of the Alaska 
Peninsula, near its extreme western end. A saltery was operated 
here for several years, until the Thin Point Packing Co. was organized 
by Louis Sloss & Co., of San Francisco, and the cannery was built 
in 1889. It was operated in 1889, 1890, and 1891, and was closed 
after that date. In 1890 the cannery ship Oneida, en route for this 
place, struck on the Sannaks in April and nearly all of the 77 Chinese 
on board were lost. In 1893 the plant became a member of the 
Alaska Packers Association. In 1894 the cannery was moved to 
the Naknek River, in Bering Sea, and became a part of the cannery 
of the Arctic Packing Co. 
The Alaska Packers Association operated a saltery at Thin Point 
in 1894, 1895, and 1896, and then abandoned the place. 
The cannery of the Central Alaska Co. was moved in 1890 from 
Little Kayak Island, near Katalla, to Thin Point. It operated 
during 1890 and 1891, was closed in 1892, and in 1893 joined the 
Alaska Packers Association, but was no longer operated. In 1895 
the available machinery was moved to Koggiung, on the Kvichak 
River, in Bering Sea. 
In 1908 Osmund & Andersen established a saltery at Thin Point 
and operated it in 1908, 1909, and 1910. 
In 1911 the Pacific American Fisheries built a cannery at King 
Cove, on the south side of the Alaska Peninsula, a few a east of 
Thin Point, and in the fall purchased the saltery. The cannery was 
operated in 1911 and each year since. 
In 1917 the Pacific American Fisheries built and operated a new 
cannery at Ikatan, on Isanotski Strait, at the eastern end of Unimak 
Island. The Sockeye Salmon Co. built and operated in the same 
year a new cannery on Morzhovia Bay, a few miles from the strait, 
and on the Alaska Peninsula. In 1920 the latter was moved to the 
Unimak Island side of the strait. 
SHUMAGIN AND SANNAK ISLANDS. 
Small salteries have been operated at different places on the Shu- 
magin and Sannak groups. ‘The plants have usually been rude and 
primitive affairs and were operated whenever the price of salted 
salmon was high enough to justify same. As the ownership, and the 
location in many instances changed frequently, no attempt has been 
~ made even to list them. 
In 1920 the Shumagin Packing Co. installed the necessary machin- 
ery in its saltery and put up a pack of canned salmon.
