the port of Nome during the past
season showed a healthy increase
according to the annual report of
Deputy Collector of Customs R. W.
J. Reed, which was made public in
the Juneau Empire. The ship
ments of reindeer more than
doubled in quantity and the variety
of reindeer products was largely
increased over last year.
Shipments of gold dust and bul
lion aggregated $1,012,184.41 at the
close of navigation on November
1. Last year it was worth $1,106,611.
It is estimated that the total for
this year will be increased by $250,
000 before January 1.
REINDEER INDUSTRY THRIVES
The extent of expansion in the
reindeer industry is indicated by
Mr. Reed’s report. Last year ship
ments of deer meat amounted to
744,014 pounds. Hides weighing 26,
695 pounds were also shipped.
These two items compromise the
entire list of reindeer products for
1927.
This year the number was in
creased to six. Deer meat ship
ments totaled 1,529,123 pounds. In
addition there were shipments of
canned deer meat amounting to
133,180 pounds Hide shipments
jumped to 74,672 pounds. For the
first time horns and hoofs were
utilized in quantity, 10,575 pounds
being shipped. There were 1,184
pounds of hair, and 560 pounds of
blood meal to round out the pro
duction list of the industry this
year.
