Investment and output.—There were 14 mild-curing plants (12 in 
southeast Alaska and 2 in central Alaska) in operation. The indus- 
try is new in the latter section, the San Juan Fishing and Packing 
Company sending a large outfit to Kenai, on Cook Inlet, while the 
firm of J. Lindenberger, Incorporated, had a man at Orca, to prepare 
the king salmon caught by the fishermen for the Orca cannery. The 
total investment in the industry was $104,145. 
The output amounted to 1,596 tierces (containing about 800 pounds 
each), all of king salmon, and 243 barrels (containing 400 pounds each) 
of coho, dog, and humpback salmon. The value of the total pack 
amounted to $106,334. The pack of 1906 amounted to 1,103 tierces 
of king salmon, valued at $65,747.
