$30,000,000 VALUE OF
RAW FUR COLIJSCTIOX
A. B. Shubert, Inc., Cnicago, U S
A., the largest hoise iu the world
dealing exclusively in American raw
furs, in a letter to the editor suvs
in part as follows:
Fiity million dollars worth of r tw
furs. Quite a largt: sum of money,
when you come to thing of it. That
was last year's produciion of the
raw furs of the wcrld, and Ameri
can raw furs make up about r.ro
thlrds of tho world's collection. Can
you imagine fifty million dollars
cha ging hands for American raw
furs lost season? Vet such is the
cas,, as near *.s can bo estimated
from tho account books of the larg
#' collectors. The merry old world
still goes around and the coming of
winter brings on ojo more raw fur
season. It is one of fhe oldest in
dustries known to man, dating back
<svo« iefori the tim^ of Chrisr, aad
iu i-.'ite of i he fact tiiat millions of
fur bearing nui'nals are killed ci"
every /ea: i.«. spite . f the fact ta?i
rigid game la^s a;* enacted to pre
teet the f- : bearers, tiie game is
far from being extinct and whru
the collections are smaller tho pricc
goes up accordingly. It is won
derful the part that furs have play
ed 'n the i 'story of man. They
have caused wars, led to the explo
ration of new lands and changed the
maps of natioas but mor.* wonderful
still are the varied fluctuations in
the market. I t is the greatest spec
ulative game in the world. When
the raw fur market is at its highbst
pitch, Wall street fades away to
n thing alongside ot it, and so it is
with the steel trust and the to
bacco trust and the rest of our larg
est industries. Before people knew
what steel or tobacco was, they
were skinning animals for their fur,
and still the e-anie has not died out.
in fact, this season promises mora
activity than ever in the fur busi
ness.
Furs are an absolute necessity as
t" 'y form the protective clothing of
those whose occupation brings them
in contact with the elements of win
ter. Furthermore, furs are extreme
ly fashionable. Milady's wardrobe
is not complete without at least
one set of furs.
Fur trimmings are more popu
lar than ever and most of the outer
garments for fall and winter have
very beautiful fur trimmings. La
dies hats, evening gowns and dress
es are also being trimmed with fur.
GOLD PLACE1W LX ALASKA.
Since ininiug began in Alaska in
18S0 the gold placers of the Terri
tory have yielded 7.48S.491 fine
ounces of gold, valued at $154,800
875. These mines have also pro
duced 1,652,010 fine ounces of sil
ver, with a commercial value of
$960,743, according to A. H. Brooks
of the United States Geological Sur
vey.
The gold placer mines of Alaska
arc estimated to have produced in
1912 gold to the value of $11,990,
000. Railroad development is the
thing that is most needed, and it is
not to be expected that under pres
ent industrial conditions there will
be any stability of placer gold out
put in the Territory. So long as
the high cost of transportation pre
vails, the production of placer gold
must depend on the exploitation of
bonanza deposits, for these alone
can be expected to yield profitable
returns.
