GREENLAND MUSK-OXEN
FOR INTRODUCTION
IN TO ALASKA
-x
An order for a herd of thirty
musk-oxen, to be obtained in
Greenland and introduced in
Alaska, lies recently been placed
with an experienced collector
the Bureau of Biological Sur
vey of the U. S. Department of
Agriculture, pursuant to an ap
propriation by the last session of
Congress of $40,000 for estab
lishing an experimental herd of
these animals in the Territory.
They will be delivered in New
York, whence they will be ship
ped under the care of a repre
sentative of the Biological Sur
vey, via Seattle, Wash., to Fair
banks, Alaska. They will live in
a large inclosure set aside by
President Hoover for use in in
vestigations of reindeer and
musk-oxen, and will be cared
for by men acquainted with the
peculiar problems of feeding,
breeding, and management of
animals under Alaskan condi
tions.
This action marks the culmi
nation after several years of
efforts to acquire a herd of
musk-oxen for Alaska for ex
perimental purposes, with a
view to their domestication and
utilization Such action has been
advocated by many interested
individuals as well as by the
Territorial legislature.
SILVER MINES SHUT DOWN
On account of the low price of
silver, poetically all of the sil
ver mines of Southern Nevada
have suspended operations, with
the notable exception of the
Toncpah Extension. Although
this company has been forced to
make two wage reductions, min
ers to $5 and muckers to $4.50,
during the past thirty days, it
has been able to continue opera
tic n of its mine and mill due to
the richness of its ore and its
heavy gold content.
AS YOU WERE.—“Clarence,”
she called. He stopt the car and
looked around.
“I am accustomed to call my
chauffeurs by their first name.
What is your surname?”
“Darling, madam.”
“Drive on, Clarence.
