TRADERS PROFIT
The recent slump in fur prices in
the States and throughout the world
generally raised havoc among the
fur buyers scattered over the Arctic
iregions, beyond the reach of tele
|graph and mail service, according
to Alex M. Smith, representative of
the Liebes company, of San Fran
cisco, who was himself a victim of
the severe break in the Outside
markets. Mr. Smith arrived in Ne
nana several days ago from the up
per Yukon, and left for the States
jtoday aboard the steamer Alaska to
|have a reckoning with his company
and to make plans for another in
vasion of the Far North later in
the year. He is taking a large ship
ment of furs with him, many of
them purchased from trappers ami
traders at considerably more than
their present value.
When Smith left for the Arcitc
on his fur buying expedition sev
eral months ago, he carried with
him instructions from his company
to pay certain amounts for certain
furs, as is the custom. The maxi
mum price that he could pay was
| fixed for him, but there was no limit
to the number of furs he might
purchase. And he did the best he
could under the circumstances, doing
what ordinarily might have been
considered a very good stroke of
[business. He bought all the furs in
sight at prices prevailing at the
time he invaded the fur regions,
and was not aware of the slump
until he returned to civilization sev
eral weeks ago.
And there were others. Smith
says the woods were full of fur
buyers this year and there was keen
rivalry among them, which added
considerably to their losses. The
Lampson-Hibbard company, he says,
: will just about go to the cleaners
las a result of the slump, the buyers
i of that concern having gone the
[limit in an effort to out-buy the
i Hudson’s Bay company. They paid
'as high as five and six dollars for
(muskrat and correspondingly high
(prices for other furs which have
jsince declined greatly in price. They
[did not know that prices were drop
ping Outside, and were loaded down
■with furs when the sad news finally
i was conveyed to them by special
J messenger.
i Smith paid Oscar Schulz. Crow
(river tiader, a snug fortune in cash
for his stock of furs, and nearly all
(the other traders in Northern Alas
ka and the Canadian Arctic were
fortunate in unloading to good ad
vantage before it had become gen
erally known that prices had drop
ped.
But in spite of recent happenings
in the States, Smith is confident'
that the fur market will recover its

balance and that many of the pelts
purchased by him will yet be worth
all that he paid for them.
Smith was in the Chandlar dis
trict, among other sections north
of the Yukon river, and confirms
the report of good pay recently un
covered there. He says several
creeks, including Big creek, are pro
ducing gold this summer. Word
was also recently received from that
district by Jack Holzer, who re
cently arrived in Nenana from the
lower river. He has a letter from
D. A. Murphy, under date of May
30, in which it is stated that be
tween three and four feet of eight
cent pay dirt was recently encoun
tered on Big creek, on the bench,
and it is believed by oldtimers that
the pay is being lined up below the
original discovery.
Smith met Jim Funchion and Bert
Johnson on their way into the
Chandlar from the States, but oth
erwise there did not appear to be1
any special movement in that direc
tion.
Smith expects to be back in Ne
nana about the first of the year.
