VALUE OF FISH ;
TO ALASKA IS i
OFTEN IGNORED
The following from the Portland
Telegram indicates the realization of
Alaska’s fish resources:
“The lure of Alaska gold has ap- j
pealed to millions of men and wome i j
in this country, who are led to imag
ine that the land of the Midnight Sun |
is a great gold mine. As a matter of j
fact the gold output of Alaska is
about the same as the salmon output
in gross value. Where gold gets the
best of the showing is in the fact that
there is a large outlay for cans and
ships in the taking and packing of the
salmon crop. The expense for equip-1
ment in mining operations is nominal
in comparison. Here are the compare »
tive figures for three years:
“Salmon, 1911. $13,639.114; 1912,
$16,459,036; 1913. $14,423,921.
“Gold, silver. 1911. $14,699,694;
1912. $!6,031.705; 1913, $12,599,266.
