HUDSON BAY FUR BUYER
RETURNS FROM LONG
DIFFICULT TRIP
Frank Martin. Northern Manager
of the Hudson Bay Sur Company of
Seattle has just returned from a
long fur buying trip and reports n
successful trip, but one attended by
many hardships and difficulties.
Mr Martin left Nome early in
March and proceeded as far North
as Point Hope returning on May 5th,
having covered 1400 miles of coun
try. From Nome to Kotzebue the
trail and weather were favorable
and unattended by any particular
difficulties, but beyond that point
storms made traveling a thing most
difficult. Some days the blizzard?
wore so severe that only twelve
miles in five hours with 13 dogs
could be accomplished. As habita
tions were few and far between it
often became necessary to make
camp and stay in the open, an ex
perience that has its attendant un
Natives in the Point Hope country
are not in the best of condition, food
is scarce and where obtainable many
times is prohibitive in price, as high
as two dollars per pound beina
charged for a pound of tea.
On '*May 6, learning that some
purchases had been overlooked in
the Teller district. Martin, without
resting further, proceeded to outwit
his# competitors. Hitching up hi:
team he started on his way to Teller
making the trip n one fun, a dist
ance of 90 miles in 14 hours and
obtained one of the finest assort
ment of white and red fox brought
into Nome this winter.
The results of his trip to Point
Hope and Teller netted this intrepid
fur buyer a lot of furs numbering
about 300 prime skins, including
white and red fox, wolves, polar bear
and many smaller skins.
As soon as navigation opens Mr.
Martin will ship this lot of valuable
furs to his Seattle firm. Those whf
are admirers of unmounted or un
tanned skins will be able to see an
assortment of furs seldom seen in
Nome. Mr. Martin will be^pleased
to show his stock. As a wide awake
hustling business man Mr. Martin
has set a mark that his competitors
And difficult to meet, and estab
lishes him as the foremost fur buyei
in the district.
