In his wireless, Mr. Rhode de- clared that average catches of mar- experienced |trappers around Fort Yukon in- clude from seventy to one"hundred marten, and range in value from $3,000, to $4,000. Marten ‘are bring- ing ‘an average price of thirty-five dollars in that region, he stated. M: Rhode cited one average catch valued at $3600 and includ- ing 37 mink, 6 red fox, 4 cross fox, 2 silver fox, 20 ermine, and 88 marten. All were taken on the right limit of the Porcupine River, marten are being caught where there has been no sign of them for the past ‘fifteén years, he de- clared. Fox and lynx are not plentiful, Mr. Rhode continued, thought due to ice conditions last year, which killed off the rabbits. There are but few rabbits, but mice and squirrels show great increases, which may account, in part, for the plentitude of marten. Mr. Rhode added that a large influx of moose has entered the Black River section. ——l . REILAND RETURNS Jerry Reiland;: Alaska sales rep- |resentative for A.
