PIONEER SALMON
PACKER GOING OUT.
Captain C. A. Johnson Tells of
Condition in
Fisheries.
Captain C. A. Johnson, for 27 years
a resident of Bristol Bay and the
pioneer salmon packer of that district,
was an outgoing passenger on the
Mariposa today, accompanied by his
family. Captain Johnson recently
disposed of his interests at Bristol
Bay to the Pacific-American Packing
company and expects to make Port
land his home in the future.
“Seward always looked good to me;
it looks better now, and I may make
some investments here later,” said
the grizzled old mariner-fisherman.
The “grub stake” received from the
packing company in exchange for his
cannery and other property insures
him against worry over the high cost
of living.
Captain Johnson stated that the
Pacific-American company is erecting
a new plant aC Port Moller with a
season’s capacity of .’>0,000 eases* and
is also making improvements at his
old plant, increasing the capacity of
the latter from 00,000 to 150,000 cases.
Because of the short season in that
district—the run lasts only about 50
days, commencing the middle of June
—all the plants are operated at high
speed, Alaska Keds are about the
only salmon taken in those waters,
but a few Kings appear. Twenty
canneries are operated on the shores
of Brstol Bay and tributary waters,
their capacities rangng from 50,000
to 200,000 cases, with a season’s total
of aproximately 2.500.000 cases, this
district having the reputation of being
the greatest salmon producer in the
world. Gil nets are used almost ex
clusively, the captain said, thus avoid
ing the waste so common in trap fish
ing and also giving employment to a
WANTED.
