1912, but has not been used since. The small cannery of the Revilla 
Fish Products Co., at Ketchikan has not been operated since 
1912, and unless work is resumed it will no longer be listed. The 
Hoonah Packing Co. acquired the cannery of the Admiralty Trading 
Co., operated at Gambier Bay in 1912 and 1913, but closed in 1914 and 
1915. The canneries operated in 1914 by Gorman & Co. at Shakan 
and Kasaan were operated in 1915 by the Anacortes Fisheries Co. 
The-plant formerly operated by the Pacific Coast & Norway Packing 
Co. at Petersburg was taken over by the Petersburg Packing Co. The 
Straits Packing Co. acquired the cannery last operated in 1913 by the 
Skowl Arm Packing Co., at Skowl Arm. It is reported that this new 
company was formed chiefly by those formerly interested in the can- 
nery of the Kuiu Island Packing Co., which plant was destroyed by 
fire in the fall of 1914. The cannery at Hawk Inlet, operated for 
several years by the Hawk Fish Co., was operated in 1915 under the 
firm name of P. E. Harris & Co. Another change in firm name this 
year is that of the Karheen Packing Co., which was formerly known 
as the Irving Packing Co. The North Alaska Salmon Co. closed its 
Hallerville cannery and operated for the first time its new plant on 
the eastern side of Kvichak Bay above Pedersens Point. Libby, 
McNeill & Libby acquired from Gorman & Co. the cannery at Dry 
Bay formerly operated by the St. Elas Packing Co. It is probable 
that it will be used in conjunction with the cannery of the Yakutat & 
Southern Railway Co., which is also ewned by Libby, McNeill & 
Libby. 
NEW CANNERIES. 
Six new canneries were operated in Alaska in 1915 by the follow- 
ing companies: Doyhof Fish Products Co., at Scow Bay, near Peters- 
burg, in southeast Alaska; Canoe Pass Packing Co., at Cordova; Cop- 
per River Packing Co., at Abercrombie, near Mile 55 on the Copper 
River; the Deep Sea Salmon Co., at Goose Bay, on Knik Arm, in 
central Alaska; the Nelson Lagoon Packing Co., at Nelson Lagoon; 
and the North Alaska Salmon Co., on the eastern side of the Kvichak 
River above Pedersens Point, in western Alaska. 
The foregoing, together with the cannery of the newly organized 
Straits Packing Co., not operated in 1914, makes an apparent gain of 
seven canneries for 1915, but deduction must be made from the 1914 
total of the two canneries destroyed by fire, namely, those of the 
Kuiu Island Packing Co. at Beauclaire and of the Alaska Fishermen’s 
Packing Co. on Kvichak Bay; also there must be deducted the can- 
nery of the North Alaska Salmon Co. at Hallerville, not operated in 
1915, thus making a net increase of four canneries in operation in 
1915 over 1914.
