: LARGE NATURAL CAVE
; BELIEVED BE BAT REFUGE
‘ Above Jonesville, in the Chickaloon
district, a visitor in Seward Saturday
informed the Gateway that some
years ago while on a survey gang he
and a friend discovered a huge natur
al cave in Wishbone mountain which
is directly back of Jonesville. They in
vestigated the cave and due to the
| discovery of a vast thickness of gua
! no, some 17 inches down to bed rock,
| they came to the conclusion that it
was a rookery or refuge for wild ani
I mals from storms.
Yesterday, while Dr. T. Gilbert
| Pearson, president of the National As
| sociation of Audubon Societies was in
Seward, he was informed of this mat
j ter. Dr. Pearson said that from the
despcrition he is quite certain that it
! was a bat cave. The quano is quite
I valuable he said, and outside com
mands a price from S14 to $18 a ton,
due to its high qualities.as a fertilizer.

PRESERVE ADEQUATE
BREEDING STOCK ID
USE REST FOR SPORT
NOTED ORNOTHOLOGIST IS FOR
CONSERVATION GAME IN
PRACTICAL WAY
“Preserve adequate breeding stock
and let the surplus be used for
recreation—sportsmen—if wished,”
remarked Dr. T. Gilbert Pearson,
president of the National Association
of Audubon Societies with headquar
ters in New York, who was a brief
visitor in Seward Saturday and yes
terday, enroute to the States follow
ing a two months journey through
Alaska, observing and studying cer
tain phases of wild bird and animal
life and incidently, attaining the de
sire of many years, that of seeing
Alaska which he terms America’s
greatest hunting ground for big
game. “As far as I can learn and
from present observations there is
an abundance of big game in Alaska
but Alaskans should profit by the
mistakes of many States and coun
tries where over-killing has almost
depleted game.”
Dr. Pearson admitted he did not j
know Alaska conditions relative to
game animals and bird life except
ing through knowledge gained by
talks with sportsmen and visitors
whom he has met Outside and whom
had vjsited the Territory. In parti
cular Dr. Pearson stated Alaska
should preserve an adequate breed
ing stock of her moose and caribou,
not only from the standpoint of the
animal itself but as a valuable asset
to the Territory. He remarked of
the estimated number of moose on
the Kenai peninsula, 25,000, a number j
which was almost unbelievable, yet |
he was informed from several
sources that this estimate was fairly
correct. Another Alaska animal he
was much interested in was the
brown bear on which he solicited
information but did not make any
comment. Dr. Pearson, aside from
heading the Audubon Societies for
the protection of wild birds and ani
mals, has been a bird enthusiast
since he began collecting eggs at 11
years of age. Prior to forming the
National Association Dr. Pearson
taught ornithology in the East. Fol
lowing his first year of teaching it
was necessary to increase the staff
by the addition of three ornitholo
gists so popular and interesting prov
ed his original methods. Later he
became chief game warden of the
State and still later, following suc
cessful legislation on bills for the
protection of wild birds and animals,
he formed the first Audubon Society.
Others followed in succession in al
most every State in the Union,
emerging finally under the present
title, the National Association. He
has devoted his entire life exclusive
ly to the protection of wild life and
first hand study of bird and game
conditions in virtually all parts of
North America, Central America,
West Indies, and in various European
countries. He is not only a lecturer
of internatonal prominence but is
the author of a number of books and
a frequent contributer to scientific
and popular magazines. He is chair
man of the World Committee for
Bird Protection which has active
national sections in 18 countries of
the globe. He is a member of the
advisory committee oh federal regu
lations he has been for many years
in the councils at Washington, D. C.
“Game can be made to assist in
many ways besides its flesh,” he
[said, “and throughout the world
[there is rapidly becoming a much
[wider interest in game life. There
is a distinct relationship between
people and wild life for unless pro
per precautions are taken the dis
appearance of wild life is but a mat
ter of time.
If I were a member of the Alaska
Game Commission I would seek to
prevent any regulation premitting
the shooting of animals providing
the breeding stock was threatened.
Your Alaska Game Commission is
one of the most encouraging things
that I have seen in Alaska and they
are doubtless doing excellent work
I and in the right direction.
