(Valdez Prospectorl
Work tr the construction of a

Unalaska. the sixth of a string op
erated by the Pacific American
Fisheries Co. in the north, will be
gin about March 1, according to
information given out by officials
of the company. The barge Big
Bonanza has been chartered to
carry the equipment north and it
is expected that the new cannery
will be completed in time to be
gin operations with the opening of
