LIVESTOCK HIVE
III FINE CONDITION;
LANDED ON ISLAND
NUCLEUS OF WHAT IS TO BECOME
FINE INDUSTRY ON GRASS
Ten Hereford heifers a blooded
bull and 50 purebred sheep are now
i enjoying luxurient grass on Sitkalidak j
Island, according to Jack McCord,
who returned from the Westward on j
the Admiral Evans, which brought the
livestock to Alaska.
All of the livestock arrived in ex
cellent condition, in fact in better
shape than when they were placed
aboard the ship in Seattle, says Mr.
McCord.
i
The animals are the nucleus of a
herd which Mr. McCord expects to
grow into a big paying proposition,
and which will be added to from time
i to time.
It is Mr. McCord’s belief that -sheep
and cattle production is destined to be
come one of the greatest industries of j
Western Alaska, especially in the |
Aleutian Islands. He has succeeded
in convincing a number of Utah and ;
California capitalists of this fact, and1
the present venture is capable of go-J
l
ing through with anything it under- i
takes.
Thus with the 5,600 sheep already !
upon the islands and the herd just
placed form the farthest west ranches
in the world.
The larger herd of sheep will be
sheared for the third season this year I
and gauged by last year’s results the \
i
clip promises to produce 50,400;
pounds from the original flock without ;
counting the lambs. The wool last j
year brought from 50 to 60 cents per i
pound, commanding a premium over
other wools owing to its fine texture,
due to favorable climatic conditions.
Statistics, says Mr. McCord, show
i
that the annual loss, due to natural
causes, is only 2 per cent, which dem- j
-
onstrates that grazing conditions are
ideal and that weather conditions are
entirely suitable to lovestock propa
gation.

Peter S. Early, 74, resident of Gas
tineau Channel for mere than 30
years, prospector and pioneer, died
last week at Thane from general dis
ability. Cronic nephritis was the im
mediate cause of the death, though
he had been ailing for many months.
Mr. Early has been interested in
mining in Yankee Basin and Eagle
Uiver since his arrival in this coun
try. He had a homestead at Yankee
Cove, where the family spent the
summers and lived for several yeans,
before moving to Juneau 14 years
ago. II. R. Shepard, Frank Bach of
Douglas and John G. Hyde were as
sociated wit.lv Mr. Early in some of
his mining properties near Yankee
Basin.

Cordova from Katalla last week by
the New England Fish Co., that the
cannery tender “Cordova” was sunk
off Kokinhenik Island in “seven feet
of water.” No details about the in

! fishermen had been gone for about
two weeks. They were employed by
j the Shepard Point Packing Co. The
j deceased fell out of his skiff while
