BLUE FOX
To run over briefly the doings of
fhosc earlier days one can get a
nirds-eye view of the troubles the
early fox ranchers had to contend
with.
The blue fox, really a color phase
of the white fox (Vulpes Lagopus),
's indigenous to Southwest Alaska.
It was found in numbers on the
Pribilof Islands when first discov
ered by the Russians, and possibly

chain.
In 18S3 an attempt was made to
[Place 10 pair of blue foxes upon
iWddloton Island which stands way
lout alone in the Gulf of Alaska
|fronting the entrance to Prince
William Sound, a lone haven in ail
that gray waste of the sullen North
Pacific. These fox were to be trans
ferred from the Pribilofs by one of
the merchant traders located at
eodiak.
The keeper was sent out to the
island during the summer with a
limited amount of provisions, as it
was thought other boats would
bring early supplies, but some mis
calculation occurred regarding the
transportation of the foxes from
the P-ibilofs and they were nevci
delivered.
It can well be imagined that tne
