| The fall run of salmon on the lowe
Yukon was a complete failure in s<
far as the Carlisle cannery at tin
mouth of Qwiguk slough was con
cerned, according to late arrivals ii
Nenana from the mouth of the river
Officials of the cannery, it is reported
claim a loss of fully $100,000 as a re
suit of the failure of the fall pack
the silvers being so scarce that it was
| impossible to put up more than sixt\
case some days, and many of th<
employes, who were under contrae
; for the season, spent the greater par
| of the fall loafing around the plant
I Had the cannery been closed aftei
the early summer run the profits foi
the season would have been very sub
stantial. and those in charge of th(
outfit are now lamenting the fact that
they did not quit while the quitting
was good. But they had visions ol
another big clean-up during the fall
and risked the spring profits waiting
for the salmon which did not come
When it finally became apparent t<
the management that there would hr
no fall run of fish, the cannery outfi!
was shut down and towed into wintei
quarters aj Andreafsky. The season-.
pad' aggregated about 57,000 cases
practically all of which represented
■
I
t
j the early summer canning. /
While it is generally agreed that .
| the operation of the cannery worked j
s a great hardship on native and white ;
I settlements along the lower Yukon i
and its tributaries, by causing a short
| age of lish along tin1 streams, reports
j indicate that considerable numbers of
j fish were caught higher up on the
rivers. For instance, it is stated that
salmon were much more plentiful near
Dawson than along the lower Yukon.
This is accounted for by the explana
tion that the fish swim deep on the
long journey up stream, coming closer
to the surface as they near the
spawning grounds. Use of deeper nets,
it is contended, would have enabled
the natives along the various streams
to have made larger catches, but in
asmuch as the natives rely chiefly
upon fish-wheels, which have pro
duced abundantly in past years, the
deep net theory will not lessen the
^complaint against the cannery.
“This" has been an off season for
salmon,” said G. S. Martin, who
recently reached Nenana from the
lower river. “All the olcj-timers claim
that the run was the poorest in years.
And practically all of the king salmon
which entered the mouth of the Yu
kon early in the summer were caught
by the Carlisle outfit, very few being
permitted to get up the river.”
