MILD CURING. 
The mild curing of salmon is rapidly becoming an important indus- 
try. The season of 1906 was the first in which it was conducted on a 
large scale, and it proved profitable to all persons concerned. Only 
the larger king salmon were used in 1906. This year the demand for 
the product was so great that kings as small as 14 pounds were 
accepted. One dealer also packed a quantity of coho, dog, and hump- 
back salmon, all of which was put up in barrels holding 400 pounds. 
Employees.—There were 330 persons (of whom 208 were fishermen, 
102 shoresmen, and 20 transporters) employed in the industry in 1907, 
against 177 in 1906. The greater part of these were employed in 
southeast Alaska.
