- THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE TUFSDAY JULY 11, 1933. C. BOLDSTEIN BOUGHT MANY FURS ON TRIP Traders Expect Large Catch During Coming Season Says Furrier | Traders and trappers throughout the Interior and Westward dis- tricts of Alaska are jubilant con- cerning the rise in the prices of furs and are in hopes that the rise continues, according to Charles Goldstein, one of the largest fur dealers on the Coast, who returnsd to his home here on the Aleutian after an extensive airplane buying trip through the Interior districts. ~“Traders have been poorly off during the last year or so in regard to business, both up and down the Yukon and Kuskokwim Rivers due to the slackness of buying and the | lightness of the fur catch” Mr. Goldstein said. “The fur catch last | winter was extremely light, th| muskrat catch on the Yukon and | Kuskokwim being less than 15 pe?“ cent of the year previous owing to | the lack of snow and the extreme | cold weather, freezing the animals | out and destroying many of them. The foxes on the lower Yukon and Kuskokwim were poor for the same reason and the majority of pelts were very poor. However, the beaver catch on the upper Yukon and Kuskokwim rivers was heavi than a year ago and they were of excellent quality,” he said. Expect Geod Season Because of the abundance of rabbits, chicken and piarmigan coming back this year and the fact that the country is overrun with field mice, it looks like a good season ‘this year as they are all the natural food of fur bearing ani- mals, Mr. Goldstein declared. Bonght Quantities of Furs Mr. Goldstein brought back large quantities of furs of every discription, which are of a fair average quality, including beaver, fox, lynx, quite a number of mink, | “In five weeks' time we covered nearly 9,000 miles of country, some of which we could not have reached in three years had we not been able to use the airplane. We went as far as Nome and hoped to go on into Kotzebue but were unable to do it because there was ic: and we were {lying with pontoons,” Mr. Goldstein said. With J. J Meherin and Lyle Hebert, merchan- dise brokers, Mr. Goldstein mad~ this trip in a chartered Pacific Alaska Airways plane piloted by Harry Blunt which met them at Anchorage on their way into the Interior. Met Many Traders «“On this trip I haa the pleasure of meeting many trappers and traders throughout the Interior and Westward districts and found them a fine class of men, interesting and of a high type. It was one of the most worthwhile aspects of my trip,” Mr. Goldstein declared. “I also met a great many oldtimers, some of whom had been in Juneau around 1886 and enjoyed talking with them.” Speaking of the rise in the price of furs, Mr. Goldstein said he be- lieves the higher prices will be- come stablefzed though he does not look for much further advance until next year. Placer Mining Placer mining districts in the In- terior have been up against it for lack of water so far this season and in some places have -only | small crews working due to the dry weather. While Mr." Goldstein was on his trip he received a ‘report of a new placer strike on the slope of the Arctic range in the Crow Creek district which was sald to be good. One prospector was re- ported to have come out recently with 20 ounces, he was told. “The trip was very successful and I am more than satisfied with the results. I plan to make much the same coverage in the early part of June next year,” Mr. Gold- stein declared. —— The Territorial Legislature of Alaska has appropriated $225,000 to provide a home for aged pioneers. - Of 9,807 students in 30 Lutheran colleges, 56.8 per cent are Luth- marten and otter. | erans. lIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII||III|||IIIlIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllIIIIIIHIIIIIII Make This Store Your Headquarters A FULL LINE OF INCLU MMER NECESSITIES DING IN Slqcks Beach Pa]amas Beach Balls, Beach FINAL CLOSE-OUT IN LADIES’ FINE FOOTWEAR Perkins—Millers—Turrells Broken Sizes va ¥ ' tH Per Pair, $2. 50 BARANOF BACK AFTER COVERING LARGE MILEAGE Gene MeyrEPilots Sea-. plane During Three and | a Half Days’ Flying | | After covering a large district,' - from Nakeen to south of Ketchi- kan, since leaving Juneau last Sat- urday morning, the seaplane Bar- anof, piloted by Gene Meyring, (Chandler Hicks, mechanic, returnad | to its base at Juneau at 1 o'clock \this afternoon, The seaplane made the trip from Juneau to Iliamna Lake on Satur- day and on Sunday continued to Nakeen where H.
