Shrimp in Skagway Town.
C. O. Walker was out last night on
the bay fishing for shrimp, of which
delicious edible crustaceon he secured
a considerable quantity, which he to
day gave out to his friends as a
sample of what the waters of Lynn
canal are capable of producing in this
line. Several years ago the catch
ing of shrimp here was quite tin in
dustry, as the eating houses of the
t town were glad to buy all that w ere
brought in at 50 cents a pound, but
with the decadence of the restaurant
and hotel business the demand fell
off until it became unprofitable to put
in the time necessary to catch them,
the more especially as the work had
to be done entirely at night. The ones
Mr. Walker caught last night com
pare favorably in size witIuJBiy that
we have ever seen.—Skagway Alas
