NO REMOVAL OF
CLOSED SEASON
ON BLUE FOXES
ALASKA GAME COMMISSION DE
NIES TRAPPING OF BLUE
FOXES ALLOWED
Contrary to an impression that
has prevailed to some extent, trap
ping of blue foxes in Southeastern
Alaska is not permitted under the
new Alaska game law and regulations
and is permitted only on the Aleu
tian Islands reservation in southwest
ern Alaska, says the Juneau Empire.
This matter was cleared up in a
statement made by E. P. Walker,
Executive Officer of the Alaska Game
Commission.
Recently a report was heard in
Juneau and gained some considerable
credence that an open season had
been allowed for the trapping of blue
foxes in Southeastern Alaska. This
matter was brought to the atten
tion of the Alaska Game Commission.
After consulting with Chairman C.
T. Gardner, Mr. Walker issued a
statement for the Commission, which
it is believed will clear away all
misunderstanding, as follows:
“The Executive Office of the Alas
ka Game Comission announces that
a fewr inquiries have recently been
received at the office as to whether
or not the blue fox season is open
for trapping of wild blue foxes. No
such is open in Fur District No. one,
except in the Aleutian Island Res
ervation and it is not open, in Fur
District No. 2, south of the summit
of the Alaska range and Ahklun
.Mountains. In reading the Fur and
Game regulations, regulation No.
14 should be read in conjunction
with regulation No. 19, w'hich gives
seasons for fur bearing animals.”
Mr. Walker pointed out that regu
lation 19 gives open seasons for tht
animals for all areas in which theii
taking is not prohibited, and thal
regulation 14 lists the areas when
the taking of certain fur and game
.-animals is entirely prohibited.
According to Mr. Walker season:
;and restrictions in respect to takin:
of blue foxes are thesame that they
have been for the past year or more
and that the only portion of Alaska
south of the summit of the Alaska
Range and Ahklun Mountains in
which -there is an open season on
blue foxes is the Aleutian Island Res
ervation.

SHORT MINING
COURSE OPENS
ON NOVEMBER 2
OPPORTUNITY FOR ALASKA PROS
PECTORS AND MINERS AT
ALASKA COLLEGE
The Mining Short Course opens at
the Alaska College November 2nd.
This date is drawing near and those
men who are planning on this wrork
and who desire to live in the College
dormitory should notify President
Bunnell as early as possible so that
reservations can be made. Room
and board can be secured at the dor
mitory for $55.00 per month. There
is no charge for tuition. The other
expenses for books and laboratory sup
plies consumed total about $20.00 for
the entire ten weeks course.
Each year about thirty prospectors
and mining men gather at the College
for this work. Now that a dormitory
is available It is expected that this
number will be increased. This is a
practical course designed to give di
rect benefit to the prospector and min
ing man. The only education require
ment is the ability to read and write.
It is of immediate use to the pros
pector for he learns the practical ap
plication of geology to prospecting;
also how to make simple determina
tions of any mineral he may find. The
prospectors who take this wrork will
enter the hills next season with new
vision and will be alert to the areas
favorable for the discovery of the com
mon ore minerals as well as the less
common valuable minerals which

The man who is developing a small
mine may wish to learn how to assay
his ore, make a compass survey of his
claim or underground workings. In
the experimental mine at the College
he will use different types of rock
drills and discover the particular ad
vantage of the different drills for var
ious kinds of work. A stamp mill
run will be made and the Short Course
men will be given the opportunity of
dressing and cleaning plates. Table
concentration and flotation will be
demonstrated by actual use of the lab
oratory equipment. In other words,
the men learn by actually doing rather
than by reading in a book how it is to
be done.
Many men in Alaska have money
invested in mining. This Short
Course work will better enable them
to “size-up” a mining proposition and
may aid them to avoid costly mistakes.
The Alaska College makes a special
ty of its Mining Short Course and the
work is planned to give practical in
struction to the Prospector and Min
ing Man in order that he will be bet
ter fitted to carry forward this work
and make every season count.
