  was 
  built 
  and 
  operated 
  in 
  conjunction 
  with

  cannery 
  of 
  the 
  North 
  Pacific

   The

  include 
  cold-room 
  capacity 
  for 
  250 
  tierces 
  and 
  a 
  2-ton

  The 
  cannery 
  operated 
  last 
  year 
  at 
  Warm 
  Chuck 
  by 
  

   Swift, 
  Arthur 
  & 
  Co., 
  was 
  used 
  this 
  year 
  as 
  a 
  mild-cure 
  station. 
  The 
  

   company 
  was 
  reorganized 
  under 
  the 
  name 
  of 
  the 
  Swift-Arthur- 
  

   Crosby

   refrigerating 
  room 
  of 
  250 
  tierces 
  capacity. 
  

  

  Other 
  more 
  important 
  operators 
  in 
  mild-cure 
  work 
  in 
  southeast 
  

   Alaska 
  this 
  season 
  included 
  the 
  Diamond 
  T 
  Packing 
  Co., 
  of 
  Ketchikan, 
  

   with 
  also 
  a 
  floating 
  auxihary 
  plant 
  at 
  Dall 
  Island, 
  and 
  the 
  Taku 
  Can- 
  

   ning 
  & 
  Cold 
  Storage 
  Co., 
  at 
  Taku 
  Harbor. 
  The 
  Sanborn-Cram 
  Co. 
  at 
  

   Burnett 
  Inlet 
  also 
  put 
  up 
  mild-cure 
  salmon 
  before 
  the 
  canning 
  season 
  

   opened, 
  and 
  the 
  Kake 
  Packing 
  Co. 
  was 
  likewise 
  engaged 
  at 
  Kake. 
  

   M. 
  E. 
  Lane 
  put 
  up 
  mild-cure 
  salmon 
  at 
  Union 
  Bay, 
  as 
  did 
  also 
  Gott- 
  

   fried 
  Friedrichs 
  at 
  Wrangell. 
  M. 
  B, 
  Dahl 
  had 
  a 
  floating 
  plant 
  at 
  

   Karheen 
  and 
  Port 
  Alexander, 
  and 
  S. 
  B. 
  Reynolds, 
  of 
  Ketchikan, 
  

   also 
  operated 
  a 
  floating 
  plant 
  of 
  considerable 
  importance. 
  A 
  floating 
  

   plant 
  devoted 
  chiefly 
  to 
  mild-cure 
  and 
  herring 
  work 
  was 
  operated 
  on 
  

   the 
  steamer 
  Neptune 
  in 
  the 
  Cape 
  Fanshaw 
  district 
  by 
  the 
  recently 
  

   organized 
  Toledo 
  Fish 
  Co. 
  Another 
  company 
  organized 
  this 
  year 
  

   was 
  the 
  Alaska 
  Cooperative 
  Fishing 
  & 
  Packing 
  Co., 
  composed 
  chiefly 
  

   of 
  business 
  men 
  and 
  fishermen 
  of 
  Wrangell. 
  A 
  plant 
  was 
  erected 
  

   at 
  the 
  latter 
  place 
  with 
  storage 
  facilities 
  for 
  200 
  tierces 
  of 
  salmon. 
  

   So 
  far 
  operations 
  have 
  been 
  confined 
  to 
  the 
  handling 
  of 
  mild-cure 
  

   salmon, 
  but 
  later 
  it 
  is 
  expected 
  that 
  other 
  branches 
  of 
  the 
  industry 
  

   wiU 
  be 
  entered. 
  In 
  addition 
  to 
  those 
  mentioned 
  above, 
  there 
  were 
  

   various 
  other 
  less 
  extensive 
  operators 
  in 
  the 
  mild-cure 
  business 
  in 
  

   southeast 
  Alaska. 
  

  

  In 
  the 
  Dry 
  Bay 
  region, 
  Capt. 
  Malcolm 
  Campbell, 
  of 
  Juneau, 
  engaged 
  

   in 
  mild-cure 
  operations 
  on 
  the 
  schooner 
  Standard 
  Fish 
  Co. 
  No. 
  2- 
  

   The 
  fish 
  were 
  taken 
  by 
  means 
  of 
  gill 
  nets, 
  and 
  it 
  is 
  notable 
  that 
  out 
  of 
  

   a 
  pack 
  of 
  77 
  tierces 
  none 
  of 
  the 
  white-meated 
  variety 
  was 
  observed. 
  

   The 
  small 
  steamer 
  Dolphin, 
  operated 
  by 
  John 
  Berg, 
  got 
  a 
  few 
  tierces 
  

   of 
  kings 
  and 
  a 
  few 
  barrels 
  of 
  sockeyes 
  in 
  the 
  vicinity 
  of 
  Dry 
  Bay. 
  

  

  Central 
  Alaska 
  came 
  into 
  the 
  mild-cure 
  work 
  this 
  year 
  to 
  a 
  more 
  

   notable 
  extent 
  than 
  heretofore. 
  A 
  few 
  tierces 
  of 
  king 
  salmon 
  were 
  

   mild 
  cured 
  by 
  L. 
  Mikkelson 
  at 
  Abercrombie, 
  which 
  place 
  is 
  55 
  miles 
  out 
  

   from 
  Cordova 
  on 
  the 
  Copper 
  River 
  & 
  Northwestern 
  Railroad. 
  His 
  

   principal 
  business 
  was 
  salting 
  red 
  salmon. 
  The 
  Alganik 
  Fish 
  Co. 
  

   mild 
  cured 
  a 
  few 
  tierces 
  of 
  king 
  salmon 
  in 
  the 
  same 
  region. 
  This 
  

   season 
  is 
  the 
  first 
  for 
  mild-cure 
  work 
  on 
  the 
  Copper 
  River. 
  In 
  the 
  

   Cook 
  Inlet 
  country 
  J. 
  A. 
  Herbert, 
  of 
  Seldovia, 
  engaged 
  for 
  the 
  first 
  

   time 
  this 
  season 
  in 
  mild-cure 
  operations. 
  The 
  fish 
  came 
  chiefly 
  from 
  

   two 
  traps 
  driven 
  at 
  favorable 
  locations 
  in 
  Cook 
  Inlet.
