The raising of blue fox it* lie
coming .quite an indnstrv to the
V'estward. Xear Kodiak those me
eight cr km islands dexotod to this
business, tlie largest «rf which is

<Vmi|.aaiy. The A. CL is Lass I was
started thirteen years ago, with a
few foxes naught aline in traps anil
imw has fa Ik a thousand of aU
Jigetx, while several times that
nnrny have I men slain.
The jx>|t of a full grown hlne
fox I rings from #7.o0 to***. in the
market, and xince ther dac as
Jirettilv as waj xcalekiu itself, tlxxre
is .no limit u* the .•ieuuMid hr
them
1 In* tojws are great a* Ireeders.
At two year* old the litter is two
i'ttps. at tlx- following year four
and the year after seven and sight.
Then the litter* grow less and if
tlie animal is kept much Ion gar
<Jk> fur liegins to split on tlx- and*
ami will not sell well. Seldom do
Ux> owmr* Jet tlx>m live over six
weight vurr* without taking tda-ir
hides. They take to dried salmon
and thrive mi it like malaajutes
from the interior, and as a siwglo
Jinul of the seine will sometimes
land tons of fish it is no trouble to
keep tlx-iu supplied with food.
