▼uilty before U. S. Commission
er Paine and was fined $25.00.
Executive Officer Ernest P.
Walker of the Commission
states that the sale of game
has so often led to its exter
mination or near extermination
throughout the world that it
j has now become one of the
j basic principles of wild life
; protection to prevent sale and
j commercialization of game in
. any form.
| Mr. Walker also called at
! tention to the fact that the
; deer season closed November
30 instead of December 15 as
has been the case for a couple
! years past. The season closed
earlier this year as a result of
‘the recommendations submit
i ted at the last annual meeting
i of the Commission by numer
ous parties in southeastern
Alaska who were interested in
maintaining the supply .of deer.

REINDEER INDUSTRY
PROMISES TO
BE IMPORTANT
The reindeer industry in
laska promises to become an
uiportant factor in the future
evelopment of the Territory,
ays the Biological Survey of
he Department of Agricult
•c. It is comparatively a re
ont undeidaking and as a
ommercial enterprise date
■i :k only a few years. The
'gmal stock of 1,280 a i:nal
■^rted from 3ibc::a auou
5 years ago ha* in.rcao
d to about 350,000, distribui
d throughout the Territory m
10 herds. The rapldb grow
ng industry requires that sci
ntific studies be made for its
/est development, and under
Jongressional authorization
uch studies were begun in
920 through the Biological
•urvey.
mproved methods have bee:/
ecommended to herd owners
or handling reindeer and uti
lizing the range. A study of
ho range is now being made
vith a view to inaugurating a
ermanent system of grazing
illotments. Careful and condn
j ious inspection will be be re
tired to determine whether
an area is being under or ov
ergrazed.
One of the more fundamental
ef the problems studied has
o do with the relation of lich
ens to grazing. Plans for fut
ire work contemplate studies
hiefly along such lines as the
development of interior ranges,
conditions governing forage
| and range management breed
improvement of reindeer, and
the control of the diseases and
parasites to which the animals
are subject.
Full progress in the reindeer
industry can come only from
the adoptiton of better man
agement methods, not only in
range control and regulation,
but in herd management and
provisions for transporting
; and marketing the meat. This
involves open herding, reduct
ion of the proportion of bulh
in the herds, selection of the
best stock for breeding in
fusion of new blood by cross
breeding with native caribou.
! adoption of improved method
I of corralling and branding i
: keeping sled reindeer in f>ach
herd, and providing for herd
; ownership on the percentage
basis for increases, with one
: registered brand for a com
i munity herd.
i COBALT PRODUCTION
i GAINS
Silver production from the
i Cobalt district of Canada, for
i the first six months of thi?
1 year is estimated to have beer,
upwards of 4,600.000 ounces,
says a Cobalt report. Product
ion during the last six months
of the year will probebyl show
a material increase, as several
large producers of silver now
iterating were idle part of the
’me early in the year. It is es
timated that actual production
of several years past in the
i of the year will probably show
number of ounces produced.
