FOX RANCHING
! NEAR CORDOVA i
IS PROFITABLE
-•--—
Mr. and Mrs. J. F. R. Appleby, who
manage a fox farm on Peak Island,
arrived in Cordova Thursday for a
\
short stay, having mqde the trip of
sixty miles in their launch Klatawa.
They will return tomorrow. “The
idea that a fox farmer has nothing
to do except to sit around and read
magazines and wait for the fur to
grow is a great mistake,” said Mr.
Appleby. “He must be on the job
all the time. Our busiest season is
December and January, when we take
the furs. When the fish are running
we spread nets and catch large quan
tities to be salted down and fed to
| the foxes. Of course the salt must
be soaked out before the food is given
them. The foxes come for their food
to a shed fitted with a trap arrange
ment, a sort of chute which can be
sprung whenever we wish to catch
one. The foxes are killed by hang
ing, so as not to injure their skins.
I am raising only the blue foxes,
svhich seem to be descended from the
white Arctic species. Now and then
the tide is low enough for the foxes
to find some of their own food on
the beach— worms and so on—and
occasionally they dig clams for them
selves.” Mr. Appleby has been in the
fox farming business only a year and
a half, but his island was stocked
with foxes some twenty years ago.
“It is a very interesting business,”
says Mr. Appleby, “and is becoming
a big thing for Alaska. One is con
stantly finding out something new
about the ways of foxes. There is a
tremendous lot to learn about the
creatures.”

ONE MILLION ACRES
OF ALASKA LANDS
HAVE BEEN SURVEYED
Alexander T. Vogelsang, Assistant
Secretary of the Interior in reply to
inquiries from the Alaska Bureau of
the Seattle Chamber of Commerce,
replied: “One million acres of agri
cultural lands in the territory of
Alaska have been surveyed and are
available to entry and patent under
the public land laws. Under the coal
land lease act, coal lands in the
Bering River, Cook Inlet, Matanuska
and Nenana coal fields have been di
vided into leasing blocks and are
offered for lease. Town sites have
been established and lots disposed of. t
The Land and Engineering Commis
sion has furnished advice and assist
ance in finding markets for the prod
ucts of the farmers in the adjoining
regions. The department does not
consider itself authorized to aid in
the settlement of the country and
developing traffic for the railroad
by publishing literature or spending
money in aiding settlers to locate
on the land.”

ANCIENT WAR RELIC
CAUSES SERIOUS LOSS
TO LUMBER COMPANY
VANCOUVER, B. C„ April 26 (by
Associated Press).—An old-fashioned
cannon ball of the 25-pound variety,
used many years ago on this coast by
the admiralty ships, caused the False
Creek Lumber Company a loss of
$250 the other day. It was imbedded
in the center of a huge log cut at
Duncan bay. The tree had grown
around the ball and concealed it so
well that it was not discovered until
the saw struck it. The missile must
have been discharged many years ago
by a passing warship.
