KOSLOSKY PURCHASER
FURS ILIfflNS SALE,
j JACK BAILEY, HERE
Unexpected visitors arrived in
town today from Uiamna in the
persons of Jack Bailey, of Sever
sen & Bailey, traders; I. Koslosky,
fur buyer, and three trappers from
the Iliamna district, “Sid” Lohr,
“Chuck” Pendleton and a third,
from Oil bay, whose name could
not be recalled at the time. Two
other passengers, Walter Taylor
and James Sparrow, both Nome
business men, also arrived.
Mr. Bailey stated he knew nothing
of Capt Heinie Berger, and the M.
S. Discoverer, wrecked over a week
ago, as the fishing boat Stanley,
which was under charter to I. Kos
losky, brot them direct to Seward.
Regarding the fur sale which the
pardners held at the bay Mr. Bai
ley said Mr. Koslosky purchased the
entire lot which aggregated many
thousands of dollars. The skins em
braced mostly red fox but there
were also large quantities of mink,
land otter, linx, cross fox, wolverine
and ermine.
Considerable territory was cov
ered by Mr. Bailey in purchasing
fur and he was successful in buy
ing at least 25 per cent o f t h e
Westward catch. The volume of
purchases was about normal, he
added. In disposing of the skins
to Mr. Koslosky he said he was well
pleased with prices obtained.
Of special importance to Seward
is the suggestion Mr. Bailey pro
pounded today; next year, instead
of holding the fur sale at Iliamna
bay he and Mr. Seversen propose
to hold it in Seward. This change
of plan will permit buyers a better
opportunity to view the skins and
at the same time be in closer touch
with the market.
Mr. Bailey’s stay in the city is in
definite.
Frank Spira, well known oldtimer j
of the interior, was among those
arriving in Seward Saturday from
Seattle on the Aleutian. He has
been in the states since last fall.
Glenn Day, transportation man
of the interior, arrived on the liner
Aleutian, homeward bound from a
vacation trip to the states.
Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Flynn, well
known railroad residents, left to
day for Lakeview.
