Port Althorp. The redfish value of these localities is unknown, but, excepting 
the Alsek, is not believed to be large. In 1900 this cannery took from the various 
localities 67,000 redfish, but as fishing was to be carried on more vigorously in 1901 
better results were expected. 
HANUS BAY, STREAM, AND LAKE. 
In the eastern part of Peril Straits, opposite Lindenburg Head, on the Baranof 
Island shore, is a wide bight, known as Han us Bay, which receives, in its shallow 
southwestern arm, the waters of a stream, a lake outlet, carrying a few redfish. 
This system was examined by a party in charge of Lieutenant Rodman, on August 5. 
Sketch of Hanus Bay, Lake, and Stream, Baranof Island, Alaska. 
From the lake to tide water the stream is about three-fourths mile long, and at a 
point measured was 15 feet wide, 12 inches deep, flowing in a general northeasterly 
direction, with a strong current. In the upper reaches the stream bed is solid rock, 
and in the lower portion is of rock, sand, and gravel. The stream proper empties 
into a small tidal basin, about 350 yards by 100 yards, which leads by a narrow 
passage to Harms Bay. Spring tides ascend to the rapids about 200 yards above the 
tidal basin. At this point are the remains of a barricade; the framework is standing, 
but the slats have been removed. About one-third mile above the barricade is a 
series of rapids, or cascades, having a drop of about 10 feet, which, however, offer no 
serious obstruction to the ascent of salmon. Above this the stream makes a double 
bend and one-fourth mile beyond emerges from the lake. Between the rapids the 
stream varies from 50 to 150 feet in width, from 1 inches to 3 feet in depth, and 
flows with a slack current over a sandy bottom. The water is clear, rather lighter in 
color than most lake outlets, and had a temperature of 53° F.
