KAH-SHEETS. 
At the entrance to Duncan Canal, on the western shore, in the upper end of the 
bowldery bay inside of Lung Island, a redtish stream was examined. Its mouth is 
north of a narrow tongue of land making to the eastward and to the northward of a 
house occupied by a number of Indians. The stream is a lake outlet, about 3 miles 
long in a general east-and-west direction, and GO to 70 feet between banks, but at the 
time of our visit the how was only about 20 feet wide and 0 inches deep. The bed is 
generally rock and coarse gravel. At four different places the stream drops in falls 
and cascades. The lake appeared to be from 3 miles to G miles long by f mile wide, 
and is deep toward the center. The bottom, near the outlet, is mud and sand, and 
gravelly in a few places near the shore. This stream has a capacity of about 5,000 
redflsh. In 1897 it supplied the cannery at Wrangell as follows:

POINT BARRIE. 
Point Barrie is the southwest point of Kupreanof Island, and in this vicinity is 
a stream said to have a capacity of 10,000 redfish. A small saltery is located here, 
and is operated with the fishery by Cyrus Orr. All the fish are sold fresh that can 
be disposed of in that way, but it is out of the track of cannery steamers. Occa- 
sionally a few are sent to Wrangell on the small mail steamer. In 1897 Wrangell 
received G92 redfish in that way. In 1890, when the census was taken, there was a 
small Indian village here and a store. Population, 89 Indians and 3 whites. The 
Barauoft' Packing Company, of Bedfish Bay, received from Point Barrie 4,4G7 redfish 
between July 9 and 20, 1892.
