mate investment that would put the
fur and livestock industry on its feet.
“We did not sell stock in the enter
prise but we interested sheep men of
Wyoming to the extent of including
them to contribute so many head each
at the market value on their own
ranges for which they would receive
the equivalent in shares of s^ock
of the company, and we assumed the
expense of transporting the sheep
to our land.
“The experiment liad already been

tried by the Aleutian Livestock Co.,
backed by a number of (livestock men
and bankers of Ogden and Salt Lake
who sent in ebtween 4,000 and 5,000
sheep nearly four years ago. An Ore
gon outfit sent in 1,000 head and the
increase from these sheep with what
we have bring the total nOw in the
region to around 15,000 head. The
wool clip lias averaged better than
$5 per head per year to which must
be added the increase in lambs. Fig.
urfng the cost on the Wyoming range
this year at $12 per head it will cost
us about $15.50 per head to land our
1,000 sheep on Sitkalidak this summer.
“For the present it will be our poli
cy to let th6 herds increase using only
such mutton and beef as will be neces
sary to supply the local settlements,
an ever-increasing market with the
growth of the fishing industry to the
Westward.”
All of these operations can have but
the most salutary effect upon Aaska
development in all its branches, in
the opinion of McCord. Once attract
ed here by an industry that seems
certain of returning a good profit,
Outside capital will look to other
things including mining and timber or
any other source of profit of this
great northern empire of hidden
wealth. Mr. McCord hopes to be
back within a short time, and to have
his affairs so arranged that he can
make a trip to Fairbanks with Mrs.
McCord in June.
