'M'K.W-tiOl.N'Ct FOXES
N EA RING 11ESTIX ATIC >N
George Gosliaw’s ocean-going
foxes are on the last lap of their
Ions voyage to Shismaref. Mr. Go
shnw gave the little animals a
good rest in Nome since the ar
rival of the Victoria before they
were loaded again on the Schooner
Silver Wave on Wednesday.
The introdnceion of fox breeding
in these parts is looked upon with
interest by Nome people, as the
success of the enterprise will bring
in a million dollar enterprise to
the section The present stock,
numbering 10.T blue foxes are in
at way an experiment, as the long
ocean voyage might have some
bad effect upon the animals. With
this in view, Mr. Goshaw has ex
ercised the utmost precaution to
see that they are in good condi
tion and properly nttended to on
Corrals are made ready at the
farm to receive the shipment
and it is expected that everything
will be in readiness when they ar
rive. On account of the deep snow,
the pens will have to be enclosed
from the top as well as the sides
and it is a practice with breeders
to bury heavy wire mesh beneath
the ground in the corrals to pre
vent escape by burrowing. This is
a precaution which is not neces-1
sary on islands, which are the!
favorite breeding grounds of the >
fox raisers on "this account.
Mr. Goshaw had expected to!
bring a forty thousand dollar ship
ment of the silver-tip variety of
foxes but the sailing date of the
Victoria would not permit delivery
o: them In time. These will prob
ably be added to the new farm as
early as possible, however, next
