FUR SHIPMENTS
FOR LUST YEAR
GAIN IN VALUE
GAME COMMISSION ANNOUNCES
TOTAL FUR VALUE OF $3,699,
707.50, FOR 1927
Furs shipped from Alaska during
1927, exclusive of seal skins and fox
pelts from the Government operations
on the Pribilof Islands, were valued at
$3,657,940.68, according to figures
made public at Juneau by the Alaska
Game Commission which is conduct
ing its fourth annual meeting in this
city. In addition fox pelts were shipp
ed from the Pribilof Islands valued at
$41,766.82, making the total for the
year $3,699,707.50.'
The total value of the commercial
shipments was $1,308,300.48 larger
than in 1926 while the number of pelts
fell from 296,136 to 290,960. Higher
prices prevailed on most of the pelts
which accounted for the larger returns
from the catch, it was stated.
CHECKING UP CATCH
Since it met the Commission has
been studying the records of catches
since 1925, when it was organized and
issued its first regulations. Particu
lar attention is given to varieties of
fur-bearers that have been taken in
steadily decreasing numbers, note
being made of the localities where
the greatest declines have taken place.
Attention was drawn to the muskrat
situation which is considered unheal
thy. In 1925 the gross take of that
animal was 359,142 with an average
price of 85 cents per skin having a
total value of $335„870.70. In 1926
t%e take fell to > 138,320 veraging
$1.40 per skin for a total x value of
$248,648. Last year the catch fell to
155,041 animals, while the price jump
ed to an average of $1.95 and the total
vlue to $302,229.95.
Mink also showed a sharp decrease
in the number taken during the same
three year period. In 1925 there were
49,504 of these animals taken, averag
ings $7 per skin. In 1927 there were
only 45,466 caught. The average
price, however, had increased to $14.52
bringing the total value to $660,166.32.
LEADS IN VALUE
Mink furs shipped outside led all
varieties in value. Blue foxes, com
i
posed mainly of shipments from
ranches rank second. The number
shipped was 10,293 with an average
value per pelt of $61.91, totaling $637,
239.63.
I
!
Beaver shipments were in , third
place. There were 24,602 pelts shipp
ed from the Territory averaging $25
79 each for $634,485.58. This does
pot represent the entire take as the
Commission and its agents have seal
ed 30,252 pelts legally taken during
the 1927 season.
Red fox also showed an increase in
value, a slight decrease in the num
ber taken as compared to 1926 and
slightly more than in 1925. The skins
averaged $28.18 each and the total
value was $618,410.10.
