MIXERS KXI'KCT SJOO.OOO
oitpit FROM CHANDLAR
An allotment of $20,000 from the i
Territorial Road funds for the con
struction of a road from Caro. on
the Chandlar river, to Big Creek in
the Chandlar mining district is ask
ed by the miners in the district, ac
cording to an announcement made
this morning by Territorial Secretary
Karl Tlieile. who is ilso secretary of
the Territorial Road commission.
The petition states that during the
pre^eut season approximately $200,
000 will be taken out of the district
The lack of roads is given by the,
miners as the prit..e cause for the I
failure of the district to produce ai
much larger amount from its placer I
diggings at the present time In ad-|
dition to paying a h gh freight rate
to have supplies a'ld mining inachin-j
ery landed at Caro. which is off the j
regular Yukon river steamer route,
it costs them 15 cents a pound to
land freight from Caro at tiie dig
gings.
This excessive freight cost handi
caps many claim owners who are
unable to go ahead with operations
on that account. It is claimed that
the district could produce at least
$400,000 this season if transporta
tion facilities were such that rea
sonable freight rates could be ob
| tained.
I The sum asked for from the ter
ritory. however, is more than the
legislative appropriation for the en
tire fourth division for this year.
For the two-year period. 1921-1922.
the legislative appropriation for
each division was but $30,000. Ter
ritorial funds, therefore, for the pro
ject are not now available.—Empire

PRIU1,OKF FOXES FOR
BREEDING STOCK
Interesting itself In the needs of
the fur farmer and prospective fur
farmers the Biological Survey has
obtained arrangements by the Bur
eau of Fisheries whereby Pribiloff
Island blue foxes for breeding stock
may be more readily obtained by
private operators for Infusing new
blood into farms already established
or for original stocking. The Pribi
loff blue foxes are generally con
ceded to be the best stock and many
parties have desired to obtain breed
ing animals from these islands
Arrangements have been made for
a limited number of 1922 pups to be'
delivered at Unalaska the fall ofi
1922 for $175 per animal. So far
as is possible efforts are to be made
to connect with the regular mail
steamer Starr at Unalaska so that
there may be the minimum delay In
reshipping to destination. In addi
tion arrangements are being made
for satisfactory care of the animals
at Unalaska, and the Biological Sur
vey representative, Donald H. Stev
enson. with headquarters at that
point, will do all In his power to
render assistance In facilitating par
ties obtaining animals.
Requests for animals may be made
direct to the Bureau of Fisheries,
Washington. D. C., office or through
the Biological Survey Washington or
Juneau offices. After arrangements
are complete for the number of ani
mals to be delivered, arrangements
for payment and delivery will be
with Mr. A. H. Proctor, superintend
ent of the Pribiloff Islands.
Doubtless the bist arrangements
for parties desiring foxeB would
be for several to join in sending one
representative to Unalaska to meet
pay for, and receive the foxes, and
accompany them to their destina
tion. The Biological Survey repre
sentatives will be glad to assist in
bringing parties into touch with each
other who desire to undertake such
arrangements.
