Gathered Front Territorial
Exchangee,
While hunting eagles in Aktfcit* ne
cessitates the scaling <rf high peaks,
descending into deep, dark, dangerous
chasms and mingling largely -with
devil clubs, the business is not with
out it- rewards. Since the Terri
torial law went into effect. September
1, 1917, providing for a bounty of 69:
cents on eagles, payable by th* Ter
ritorial Treasurer, records of that «dS- i
cial’s office show that for September
1, 1926, the sum of $.‘>2,901 has been |
paid to slayers of eagles. For the;
first six years the law was in effect j
(1917-1921) the bounty was 50 cents,;
and during that period 17,816 eagles
wi re collected for as having been i
slain. The 1923 Legislature stimulat
ed eagle killing by raising the bounty
to $1, and in the three succeeding
years H923-1926) the number of.
eagles killed on winch a bounty was;
paid was 23,906, m 5,1)00 more during
three yeaat $1 p r than during the
previous six j - at 50 cents per.
There are .some who maintain that;

for the slaughter which has been car

numerous they would have devastated
the country of the game, both small

By railroad to fienana, thence
down the Tatiana and up the Yukon
river to a point west of Fort Yukon,
and thence on foot into the Arctic
Circle, is the route taken by G. C.
O’Brien, pioneer prospector and trap
per, who arrived at Seward recently.
O’Brien has a pacer mine in the Far
North which he has worked for some
time. For three years O'Brien has
been Outside, but the call was too
strong and he is making and he is
making his way back to his old
haunts. ' It is the only life,” he said.
‘'When a man has spent the years
that 1 have in the North, he makes a

Over 200 per cent increase has!
been the average noted this year in
idle breeding of silver foxes through
out. the Kussilof district, according to
Louis NeLon, one of the best known
saver fox raisers in the Territory. A i
rough estimate of the value of the
silver foxes in the Kussilof district is
placed by Mr. Nelson at about $250,
000. The value of breeders runs
from sl.edu to $3,000 per pair.

J. J'i. Chilberg has advised his
friends that a reduction in the price .
if palladium to $30 an ounce forced [
him to close the mine at Salt Chuk,
tear Ketchikan. Mr. Chilberg, fol
owing the failure of the Scandina
.ian-American Bank of Seattle, of
which he was president, took the Salt
Chuk mine, which was originally a
copper property, and a hasty survey .
showed millions of dollars’ worth of
palladium in sight. Action of Con
cress in placing palladium on the
free list is held responsible for Chil- j
berg’s failure with the mine. Large |
importations of the metal reaehed j
manufacturing jewelers from Russian
and the Balkans, causing the price to ;
drop in the United States.
