Johnson Saltery. — Mr. C. A. Johnson salted salmon on the Ugashik from 1889 to 
1898, both inclusive. He was the pioneer in this business on the river and built and 
operated a saltery in 1889, on the left bank, about 23 miles above Smoky Point and 
2 miles below the trading post of the Alaska Commercial Company. This saltery 
was merged in the cannery of the Bering Sea Packing company. In 1891 Mr. 
Johnson established and operated another saltery on the right bank of the river, 
about 1| miles above the pilot station, which he sold in 1899 to the Alaska Packers 
Association, who absorbed it in their cannery plant.
