174 SALMON FISHERIES OF PACIFIC COAST.

ALASKA. 



In 1891 several of the canneries operating at Karluk, on Kodiak 

 Island, combined forces and built a hatchery on the lagoon at that 

 place. As the cannery men were at swords' points in regard to their 

 fishing rights on the spit, in 1892 the hatchery was closed. In May, 

 1896, the Alaska Packers' Association broke ground for a hatchery 

 at the eastern end of the lagoon, near the outlet of Karluk River, a 

 short distance from where the hatchery was located in 1891, and has 

 operated this plant ever since. 



In 1892 Capt. John C. Callbreath, manager of the Point Ellis 

 cannery, on Kuiu Island, operated a small hatchery on the left bank of 

 Kutlakoo stream. It was a very primitive place, and an exception- 

 ally high tide destroyed the whole plant in September. It was never 

 rebuilt. 



Capt. Callbreath, however, after seeing to the operation of the hatch- 

 ery, had returned to Wrangell during the summer, where his attention 

 was again attracted to hatchery work, and in the fall of 1892 he 

 built a small hatchery on Jadjeska stream, Etolin Island, about 200 

 yards from its mouth. The stream is about one-half mile in length 

 and is the outlet of a small lake. Finding the location unsuitable 

 Capt. Callbreath removed the hatchery in 1893 to the northern side 

 of the lake, about three-eighths of a mile from the head of the outlet, 

 where it still stands. The owner's intention was to build up a stream 

 which had a small natural run of red salmon until it had a large run,
