j branches with the halibut, had a
!most prosperous year. The total of
.all fisheries products was estimated

salmon was the main item, its value
being $45,223,447 for 1927. It was
within $3,000,000 of being as large
as in 1926, the banner year for the
salmon packing industry.
The herring industry made nota
jble gains over 1927 ,and the total
j value of its production
j 094, a gain of $681 883 over the pre
ceding 12 months. Mild cured herr
|ing shipments totaled 18,389.589

ed an increase of $883,109 in 1983,
‘he total shipments being worth
..6,640127. The increase was due
entirely to the targe gain in pro
duction made by the Alaska Juneau
Gold Mining Co., in its local mine.
The copper mining industry con
tinued to decline in both quantity
of ore produced and value. Ore
shipments amounted to 45,349.973
pounds valued at $6,781,655 as com
pered to 61.463 693 pounds and
$8,509,876 ’n 1937. The latter year
was correspondingly lighter than
1926.
Other minerals were about on a
normal basis. Marble shipments
were worth $123,224 about the same
ps for 1927. Lead and tin were;
about stationary.
Wood products fell from $220,774 ,
:n 1927 to $68,400 in 1928. Reindeer
meat advanced from $63,506 to
$153,723
FURS SURE TO GAIN
Lacking figures on seal pelts from
the Fribilofs and on fur shipments
by mail, statistics on the fur indus- j
try a’T largely incomplete. The i
total so far reported gave a value jf !
$2,359,164. This will be increased
probably by more than $2,000,000
when all figures are completed.
