NEWS LETTER
.‘■Seattle,—It Is no longer a question
of shipping pi Its of foxes, but enter*
prising Alaskans are now crating the
untmaJs and shipping them on the
basis of live stock, according to word
received recently by the Alaska Bu
reau of the Chamber of Commerce
from I*e‘ersburg. one of the distribut
ing renters for the fox farming indus
try in southeastern Alaska. A recent
shipment of live foxes was- valued at
$63,000 and part of the shipment was
from Skagway and the interior.
Citizens of Wrangell, after having
been convinced that fox farming is to
be one of the established industries of
the territory', organized a company to
engage in fox farming on Niblack
Islands, about thirty miles from
Wrangell, and the first shipment of
foxes has been ordered from the Her
cules Ranch on Sockeye Island near
Petersburg. This ranch recently made
a shipment of eighty foxes to a fox
ranch at Olencoe, Minn., including
blue and a few silvers, and several of
the islands in southeastern Alaska
have already stocked their farms with
foxes from the Hercules Ranch.
Favorable climatic conditions,
abundance of feed and protection from
outride interference make the islands
of southeastern Alaska especially
suited for the fox fanning business.
Very recently farmers occupied several
islands to restock the fox farms,
among the islands to have this indus

More than $400,000 worth of Siber
ian furs were sold to the great fur
merchants of America, England and
France by the Hibbard-Swenson Com
pany of Seattle, in its epochal sale
recently, which wah attended by rep
resentatives of 28 different houses.
Another sale o) Hibbard-Swenson furs
from Siberia will be held later when
almost $200,000 worth will be auction
ed. The first sale, according to Ameri
can and foreign buyers, established
Seattle as the leading market of the
world for furs of high grade, and the
second »ale will strengthen the port’s
grip on that position. The sales rep
resented a drop of from 20 to 30 per
cent from last years prices. Buyers
were present from New York and other
Eastern cities.
