John Vachon, of Tolovana. Is In
Nenana to Buy Horses; Returns
On Carl White Launch.
i
_
John Vachon, who owns the Tolo
vana Trading post, arrived in Ne- i
nana last night on the launch Scripp
for the purpose of buying horses.
He expects to leave for his trading
post on the Carl White launch, due
here sometime today.
In connection with his trading
post at Tolovana. Mr. Vachon has
quite a large fox farm, which he
has successfully operated for many
years. At the commencement he
bred foxes of the different varieties
viz reds, crosses, blacks and silver
grays, but latterly has confined his
efforts to the breeding of black
and silvers only.
Last season, Mr. Vachon killed
thirty of the foxes for their pelts
and now has twenty of them left
for breeding purposes. He says that
he had no increase among them this
season and attributes it to the fact
that he had a new man to look
after the animals, who are very
wary of strangers.
In connection with the fox ranch,
Mr. Vachon is also experimenting!
with marten. These animals are
said to be very hard to raise and
several attempts made by people
along the river to raise them havej
ended in failure. Mr. Vachon has,
been successful and raised a litter j
of five this season.
