AVolve^.;r the Ophetna and Ktmsina
country,, 160 miles northeasterly, from
Anchorage,, are overriding the coun
try and destroying numerous valuable’
fur-hpai;ing animals, They. .have in
creased fully 100 per centin the last
two years.. This is the gist of, a re
port.’take » to Anchorage by Diojt,
Tousley mid E. Simeo, well known
'rappers of tha^t district', according to
the Anchorage Times.,
“The wolves in that country,” says
Mr. 'i Tousley, “naturally- travel in
bands of from eight, to twelve. de:
strojgng .^apbou and capturing foxes
annd. other, fur-bearing animals- even,
after they are caught in traps, and
devour the, skin and ail. The gamqt
and fur i-supply of the region is seri
ously menaced, and something should^
be done, to rid the country, of these,
predatory pests. The bounty at the
present time is $15 per wolf," but isr
so low that it scarcely justifies the
hunter tog o after the animals, and
as the skins sell for little there is not,,
much inducement lor men to m*i£e a
business to>.rid, the eouDtry of these
outlaws. Trappers and. People .-inter
ested in preserving, the game, supply
are muehan favor of. some legislation
that would result in wiping- out the
wolves.”
A tragedy occurred near Noshagalc
January 5, when an Indian woman
and her babe were frozen to death and
her little four-year-old son was so
badly frozen his hands and feet may
nayeiio be. amputated. The news was
taken to Anchorage by PiJot-.Al Mon
sen, following his return from the
Bristol Bay area. To the Anchorage
Time he reported that the woman had
been drinking and started home on a
cold and stormy night. She was found
a mile off the trail and not far from
-.. . ,.-V .!*—■ ,0»
the town. She had stumbled and wa
unable to get up. She fell on top o
the boj, and the warmth, of the moth
| er’s body kept the boy alive, while tfo
mother, and hgbe froze to death. Thi
body was found the next day by i
body of searchers, Djv Bergdorf a
Nushagak and the commissioner an<
marshal were investigating,, and. tb<
doctor thought it might be necesspr;
; t©< amputate the boy’s hands and feet
Pilot Oscar Winnchell, returning, ti
Anchorage recently from Akiak, re
ported that an Indian girl went *n
sane there a few days ago and, tak
1 ing off her mukluks, wanderer! twc
days on the tundra barefooted. Sh<
was found and taken ninto the viUag«
with her feet badly froziep, but it was
thought the feet could be saved.

Copper River region. That. there are
1 .in Alaska.other copper deposits which
1 are not, now producing but which
: hold promise of, profitable develop
ment is probable. Th* current selling
price of copper, however, is po low
that it. offers no. encouragement to
■anyone to attempt the exploration of
- these deposits with % view of proving
• their worth. There is therefore little
likelihood £hat any new copper de

■ -.v -Most, of the, silver produced in
Alaska during recent years has been
recovered from Jthe copper ores—in
-■fact, during 1931 over two-thirds of

' With the great reduction in the out
“ put of copper 9,re in>.I932t the quantity
of silver frp mt.hat source naturally
shows a .corresponding decrease. Fur

that year compared with 1931.
Nowhere in Alaska are ores mined
primarily, for their silver content
Silver-bearing le adores are known at
several places in the Territory, but
the low price of silver—about... 28
cents an ounce—and .the high.cost pf
transporting and .smelting su,ch..ores
discourages development, or „even
search for them except in. the jtuote
accessible localities.
