:(‘’vecl nnd the interests taken over i
by private parties.
Th°w- old records .indicate the
tale of .too individual live foxes, but
all do"1'neftons not given. Some |
notes ri'.ew thrl they went as far!
as Unalaska. tc Cook Inlet, lo j
Prince William Sound and to South
eastern Alaska, and it is possible '
that some went to the States.
It should be recorded that these
'.slands are large islands, each sev
eral thousands acres in extent. The
blue fox were placed on the islands
.and a keeper installed whose prin
cipal duties were to keeo off poach
ers and shoot all eagles. Little
"hough t was given to feeding in
the ea-ly days, the foxes generally
obtaining their food from the
neacl.es. Though some feeding was
done bv at ’east one keeper on
north Semidii, most of the ani
mals had to shift for themselves.
They were generally trapped in
steel traps though in later years
trapphjg was carried on to large
extent by box traos and trap
houses. White, off-eolor and un-1
desirable foxes were shot at an.y j
rime observed for at this time only
‘■he foxes having the best pelts were
worth raising. This ruthless ex
'ermination of all undesirables
■ouple-’ with natural selection 1
ended to develop a strong, robust,
’ox with exceptional constitution
ind ability to shift for itself in the
vay of procuring food and warding
iff enemies.
A Second venture in blue fox
ranchir.g, as ti.. business is now
railed, was m--.de by a trader on one
if the Shumagin Islands lying oft |
.he Alaska Peninsula. This at
,empt initiated about 1883 seems to
rave been abortive according to the ;
jest information available at this 1

candies at Sylvia’s.
