I; LITTLE TALK ON
I TRAPPER UNO
| EUR TRADE
'r‘. ■
Million* of dollar* will change
hands between the trapper* and deal
;j: er* in raw fur* during the coming
| season. It Is Indeed wonderful to
'} contemplate, when one thinks of the
thousand* upon thousands of fur
•: bearings animals killed every year
•' throughout North America, and still
the supply does not seem to be wlth
' ering. Many people are of the opln
. Ion that the fur Industry 1* becoming
n extinct, due to the fact that the anl
[ mals are being killed off In many
? parts of the country. This is not the
case, in fact, It Is Just the opposite
of conditions as they exist. The de
mand of fashion, the competition of
the large circular houses and the
general utility of fur garments have
sent the price of furB up to *uch an
enormous height that a clever trap
per can make a small fortune If he
bandies his catch properly.
The fur trade has rightly been
!l called the greatest of our natural
, resources. No industry, agricultural,
mineral or otherwise, has been the
origin of as much wealth to this
country and Canada as the fur In
dustry. Before a single field was
cultivated, a single mine was opened
or a single railroad constructed, the
fur bearing animals of this country
were the only source of revenue. This
was one of the main reasons for the
[ rapid colonization of our country, es
[ poclally of the west. It was the
| trapper's trail that formed the path
1 of the first highway, and the trap
> per’s fur formed the first cargo that
i was ever freighted on any of the
! inland w'atera of this country. It
was also the trapper’s catch that
brought the first foreign wealth to
, this country, and ever since we have
been practically supplying the world
with furs. No other natural resour
ces have been productive for so long
a time or have yielded such an ag
gregate wealth as the fur bearing ani
mats, bo after all, the fur industry is
not dying out. The fight is getting
keener, and this promises to be the
banner year for the trapper and fur
shipper.

SHORTAGE OF DOG TEAMS
REPORTED IN INTERIOR.
It is reported from Nome and inter
ior Alaskan camps that dogB will be
in big demand this winter owing to
the number of new camps which are
receiving attention from stampeders.
The hundred or so animals taken
from Nome by Lieut. Haas for the
French army has left Nome shy of
good dogs, and the discovery of new
beach diggings in the Solomon dis
trict combined with the rush of
prospectors to Dime Creek haB
caused a real shortage of dogs.
Present indications are that a
heavy travel between Anchorage ana
Seward and Portage Bay will result
from the failure of the steamers to
land their cargoes and will require
* dog teams for making fast trips over
the divides.^

8AY8 SEWARD TOOK MOVIES OF
ANCHORAGE ICE.
In a recent Issue of the Cook Inlet
Pioneer appears a story on the front
page, which says that In Its desire
to knock Anchorage Seward sent a
moving picture man and outfit to An
chorage to take moving pictures of
the ice there. The Cook Inlet Pio
neer is not to be blamed for that. In
Seward at present Is a man who met
one of the publishers of the Pioneer
on the street at Anchorage some time
ago. "What do you think of that,"
says he to the newspaperman, "that
infernal Seward bunch has a man
down there on the waterfront with
a moving picture outfit taking pic
tures of the ice to send them out
side.” And away rushes the scribe
to publish Seward's villainy to the
world.—Seward Gateway.
MINERAL ~C«
A. Ammann. as executor of the
estate of Archibald K. Crawford, has
filed adverse suit In the clerk of the
court’s office against patenting of the
Spot mineral claim by the Galena
Bay Mining Company.
The claim under dispute Is located
on Copper Creek, in the McCarthy
district, and was located by Craw
ford in 1899, and recorded at Sitka,
which was then the recording district
for this entire portion of Alaska. Al
bert D. Elliott was recorder at Sitka
at the time when the location was
filed. Crawford named the claim
The Cave.
In 1903 B. F. Millard, as agent for
E, N. Millard, relocated the claim,
which eventually passed into the pos
session of the Galena Hay Mining
Company. Crawford was one of the
early pioneers In this district, nnd
was familiarly known nmong his
friends as "Scotty." He died in 1911.
since which time Mr. Ammann has
been representing the property for
the heirs.

NOME MAIL CARRIER’S TERRIBLE
EXPERIENCE.
Prod Larson, who carries the mail
between Nome ’and Candle, had a
fearful experience on a recent trip
In which he narrowly escaped being
drowned and freezing after escaping
from the former danger. He was
using reindeer sleds and while at
tempting to cross Salt Lake, sled and
man went into the water. Larson
struggled among the broken Ice and
finally succeeded with the help of
another man in reaching solid Ice.
The wind was blowing a gale and
as the spot where the accident oc
curred was without shelter, Larson
was in danger of freezing to death,
as the wet garments froze to his
body. His hands were numb and it
was impossible for him to do any
thing to help himself, so his partner
cut his clothing from him and wrap
ped him In a fur robe. They finally
reached shelter, but the mail car
rier’s health is reported badly shat
tered from his terrible experience.

SUPERINTENDENT OF MINE
FAILED TO REPORT
L. L Middlecamp. superintendent
of the mine at Eilamar. was tried last
week In the commissioner's court at
Valdez on the charge of falling to
report an accident at tho^ ~^Xe- The
Jury acquitted him, the prosecution
being caused by William A. Molony,
the territorial mine inspector. Ella
mar has Its own United States com
missioner, but as he is the book-1
keeper of the company, the trial was
transferred to Valdez. Two men
were recently killed at Eilamar, but
that was not the accident from which
the charge arose. Gas blowouts oc
cur from time to time in the mine
and cause some rather strong explo
sions.
