Changes Listed For Hunting and ' Trapn@_g,Alaska Game Commission Outlines New Regulations— Fur Southeast Protected The Alaska Gamé Commission to- day announced the approval of several changes in the regulations governing hunting and trappirg in the Territory during the year be- ginning July 1, 1938, and endirg June 30, 1939. These changes were made by the commission at its Jast annual meeting and were appreved by the Secretary of Agriculture on April 26. Most, important of the changes in the regulations is the closing of the marten season throughout the Territory and the closing of the trapping season on all furbearers in District 1, which covers Southeast Alaska from Dixon Entrance to Cape Fairweather. Explaining the regulations further the commission statement said: “Trappers in all parts of Alaska reported an extreme shortage ct marten during the past winter and recommended closing of the season to prevent the complete extermina- tion of this valuable fur animal It is expected that similar action will be taken in all areas where marten are found in the United States and many places in Canads. | Because of the high price of this | fur and the ease with which it is trapped, it is believed that marten have suffered more than any other | ~ " MININGINDUSTRY Safety Sticker ACTIVE IN SOUTH Contest Winner gnimal during the past two seasons. Southeast Fur “The large increase in trappers and the small catch in furs for several years made it necessary to close the trapping season on all furbearing animals in Southeast Al- aska. Due to the mild climate and nearness to the States, it is thought that more newcomers have started trapping in Southeast Alaska than | in all of the remainder of the Territory combined. The Alaska Game Commission has for several years been warning outsiders that they should not come to Alaska with the hope of making a living | by trapping, as all trapping to be | Decrease No Change on Deer “No change was made in the regulations covering deer hunting. The season in Southeast Alaska will open as usual on August and close on November 15. Buck deer only, with horns not less than three inches, may be taken, and limit remains at 3 per season. "l:e carcasses of deer, moose, and ntain sheep, must not be mut- flated so that the sex cannot mmlned. “There will again be an open season on beaver in fur districts 4, 5 6 and 7, with a limit of 10 peaver to each trapper. “All marten skins legally taken possessed in the Territory must or be presented to the Alaska Game | Commission for sealing on or before October 31, 1938.

END OF DIVISION Stewart Reports Several Operations Underway, Prospects Promising Back from a week's visit to Ket- chikan in connection with mining ;_ |matters, B. D. Stewart, Commission- found here is needed for the liveli- | hood of local people. Despite these warnings, however, hundreds of new | trappers have come to the Terri- each year. Because of lack of funds, experfence and equipment necessary to trgp in the interior, mast of these newcomers have set- tled in Southeast Alaska. There has been a steady decrease in the num- per of furs taken in this district for several years. During the past two seasons the condition has be- come acute. Trappers from all parts of the district have reported very small catches and many old-timers have been unable to take enough fur to pay their trapping expenses. Many trappers recommended that & season be entirely closed. By rigia enforcement of the closed trapping -season 1t is believed that fur animals will soon return to normal plenitude. “Other changes in the regula- tions provide for the closing of the open eason for mountain sheep and mountain ' goats on November 30, instead of December 81, as in the |er of Mines, reported, after his ar- | rival here on the Mt. McKinley, that the mining industry is looking up in the south end of the Division and there is considerable activity now under way. The Flagstaff Mining Company in the Twelve Arm section of the Carter River district on the east side of Prince of Wales island has been working all winter on road development and has completed al- most five miles. The company has 13 men at work now, the mill for handling the hard rock operation is now completely equiped and a portable sawmill is ready for opera- tion. The Gold Standard is working on a small scale on Cleveland Penin- sula in the vicinity of Helen Bay and litigation which has been holding up development work on Thorn Arm, involving the consolidation of sever- | al claims, has been settled, the Com- missioner reported, and work re- |sumed. Nelson and Tift have resumed work in McLean Arm at the south {end of Prince of Wales island and ‘snme gold ore is ready for shipping. ;A. L. Howard, who has the only pal- {ladium mine in North America at | Salt Chuck in the Kasaan Bay area, | has several men at work and last | month shipped out 1,500 tons of ore. ‘ The assay office, operated at Ket- chikan in connection with the Ter- ritorjal Department of Mines, is | working at capacity and it is prob- | able that it will have to have further {equipment to carry on the work. Since last August when the office | was opened more than 1,000 samples | have been handled by the assay of- | fice. There is a fine spirit of cooper- lnuon on the part of ‘the people of | Ketchikan with the office, Commis. sioner Stewart said. While there, the Commissioner, Iwho is a member of the Alaska | Planning Council, was able to get | Dr. W. E. Peterson to act as Chair- |{man of the sub-committee on min- |ing for the Council in the south end | of the Division, he reported.
