FISHERIES OF ALASKA IN 1910. 



Investment — There were 12 salteries (6 in southeast Alaska, 4 in 

 central Alaska, and 2 in western Alaska) in operation, a decrease of 

 4 as compared with 1909. In addition, a few of the canneries and 

 mild-curing plants also pickled their surplus catch, and while the 

 product has been included in the present table, the men and invest- 

 ment could not be separated from the statistics of the other branches 

 of the industry.

 $130,641, as compared with 26,915 barrels and 6,997 half barrels,

 of salmon bellies. A few of the backs were pickled and appear in 

 this table, while the rest were either dried, dry-salted, or smoked, and
