RESIDENT ALASKANS
A large number of oldtime prospectors and miners
of Alaska, no longer physically able in their declining:
years to withstand the rigors of the trail and the burden j
of a more strenuous life of inning are turning their at-1
tention to the fur industry as a means of livelihood.
In a circular directory issued by the Alaska Game
Commission at Juneau, fur farmers of the Territory
therein listed holding licenses under the Alaska Game
Lav/ for the year ending June 30,1931, include the names
of many Sourdough Alaskans together with their post
office addresses and geographical location of their re
spective fur farms. These old pioneers, bless them, and
their neighbors are operating at the present time in the
Territory, 517 fur ranches which include 159 blue fox,
107 silver, black, cross and red fox, 20 white fox, 176
mink, 8 muskrat, 6 beaver, 23 marten, 2 lynx, 8 rabbit, 3
ermine, 2 land otter and 2 raccoon farms, thus adding im
mensely to Alaska’s resources and their own individual
prosperity.
These sturdy men and women are genuine pioneers.
Unlike wild geese and ducks, they do not come North in
the summer, wax strong on the fat of the land, and then
go South in the winter to repeat the same thing the fol
lowing year. They stay here. Their food, clothing and
supplies are purchased here. The people they employ are
resident Alaskans. The money they earn stays in the
Territory to build more farms, more homes, make im
provements and help solidify the foundation of Alaska
prosperity. Alaska is justly proud of her fur farmers and
pioneers.
Fame and fortune have come to the great advertisers.
Their products have become a part of the life of the world.
