The increase since 1879 in the number of outfits for the taking of salmon, and especially in 

 1883 and 1884, have nearly trebled, the nets and boats increasing from two hundred and twenty 

 to over fifteen hundred. The nets now have an average length of over three hundred fathoms 

 or eighteen hundred feet each. 



The cost of running the different canneries varies considerably, owing to various causes, 

 mainly: 



First — Capacity. 



Second — Structure. 



The cost of running the canneries will average about $50,000 each per annum. 



The cost of each net is about on an average of $200. The nets have to be renewed annually, 

 or sooner, owing to wear and tear and accidents. 



The cost of fishermen's boats average $200 each on the lower end of the river, while the boats 

 on the upper river, being principally skiffs, cost about $40 each.
