Elizabeth Island, laying at the en
trance of Port Chatham bay, a dis
tance of four miles from Portlock has
an area of about 6,000 acres and
is under lease from the Govern
ment for fox breeding purposes, to
James Collias and Gus Dremaris.
About ten years ago they started with
a few pair of Blue foxes which dur
ing that period has increased to* about
900 foxes of which) about 500 has been
killed, the skins selling in the Lon
don market up to $127 each, but in
the market present about $55.
Pearl island, laying eight miles
south from Portlock with an area of
more than 5,000 square miles is un
der lease to Clyde Combs, who start
ed Blue fox breeding with a few
pairs about six years ago.
Smith’s island, laying about 12
miles southeast from Portlock with
an area of nearly 7,000 acres is
under lease to James Dwyer, who
started Blue fox breeding with a few
pairs six years ago.
It is estimated that the three is
lands have now about 800 Blue fox,
exclusive of about 700 fox killed or
sold for breeding purposes during the
period of operation. When it is con
sidered that -these islands were ori
ginally stocked with less than 30 fox
which have increased to 1,500 one can
imagine what the result will be in five
or ten years hence, when it is consid
ered that a fox family has as high as
12 pups yearly.
The owners and leasees of these is
lands are now contemplating to also
start raising sheep and goats, the
vegetation for feeding being abundant
the entire year. It is claimed that
the climatic conditions are much more
favorable than Montana and that
there is absolutely no destruction
from wild animals.
