mon. He writes as follows "Here at Saint Paul and vicinity the 

 run of Garbushe has been unprecedentedly large. This fish is not 

 used by our fisheries for export, but the natives prefer this kind, 

 both in the shape of ukali or salted, to the other kinds." Other items 

 of interest in Mr. Fisher's letter* are well worth recording 1 . He says: 

 "The run of king salmon (chowichee) at Kassilov and Kenai — Kenai 

 Peninsula, Cook's Inlet — has not been as Largo during the past season 

 as in prior years, the fish having taken a new departure over to the 

 rivers on the opposite side of the inlet, where the supply has been very 

 plentiful. The run of 'Garbushe,' humpback salmon, has been larger 

 than in any preceding year. At Karluk the run of red (0. nerlca) and 

 silver salmon (0. Msutch) has been very large. During the last season 

 two canneries have been established in this district, one at the Kassilov 

 Eiver and the other at the Karluk, but neither of them has come up to 

 its expectations this season."" 



The statement of the amount of salmon, taken is here appended.
