Ben Nygren, who with his partner,
Sam Torkelson, is making a success of
the white whale industry at Cape
Nome, is in town. He says that white
whale have been plentiful so far and
that the coming month will be the
biggest of the season. The white
whale are in comparatively poor con
dition this season owing to the fact,
he believes, that a great many killer
whales are chasing them. He saw an
ocean tragedy recently. A killer
rushed into a school of whites and
came up with a big one in his 'mouth.
At the white whale plant at Cape
Nome no part of the animal is wasted.
Hidts, flesh, oil and bones are all
utilized. The hides bring a big price
and are made into the strongest Kind
of leather. After the oil is extracted
the meat is dried and sold for dog
feed. The meat is good to eat, tast
ing much like beef. In Norway it is
eagerly sought after and is sold as
“steer of the sea.”
The oil of the white whale is said
to excel the oil of any fish. Some of
the local product now in Lehmann’s
store is so clear and transparent that
one can look through it and easily
read a paper held on the other side.
It sells in England at the remarkable
price of $500 a barrel. One single
fleet carrying the products of the Nor
wegian white whale industry, has sold
its cargo at Fannouth for the astound
ing total of 80,500,000 crowns, which
is over $26,000,000. At Cape Nome
long nets are used to catch the white
whale which average 12 or 18 feet in
length. When entangled in the net
they are shot with a rifle so as to in
jure the skin as little as possible.
These sea mammals are not at all fe
rocious. They show fight occasionally
when in the net, but when they are
not angered they are so docile that
the hand may be laid on them with
safety. The food of the white whale,
as disclosed by the contents of the
stomachs, is tom cod, large codfish,
salmon and an occasional crab. The
bones are stacked to dry and are
crushed to be used as fertilizer. In
Norway the meat is canned like beef.
