 The fish found in these waters are of d better quality than those of the lower Pacific coast. They are very fat, and natives find it difficult to dry sal mon for dog food on this account.
 "Capt. Wentworth. an old fisherman, who has been on IIotham inlet for the past two years, thi. season. with a 60- foot net. caught 5000 salmon, and he did all his own cooking. went eight miles for wood, attended to camp chores, and cleaned the fish. In one day he caught Nl3.

Another location could no doubt be found at the mouth of the Buckland, while the islands found in Kotzebue sound will doubtless furnish many more. There are fish enough on the American side of the straits to support an immense fishing industry.
