Traffic in Skins.

1t is said that the mild winters of
the past two years have caused a de-
cline in the fur trade, the warm
weather Causing the furs to fade, and
in some cases to shed. A Tribune re-
porter called on NJ. Scully, near Fifth
and Main streets, who makes a bust
ness of buying up fnrs, from trappers,
Indians and those living on claims.
lie found the statement to be correct,
to a certain extent. "The fur bust
ness is Of greater magnitude than
many people suppose" said Mr.. Soul
ly, "and while there are few who make
u regular business of hunting and
trapping, there is no man who settles
on claim or goes into the woods, but
what wants a small share in the bust
ness. He simply sets his trap, and
the labor of skinning the animal and
sending it to town, fully repays him.
Even the school bog takes hand in
it. Why, last yearI paid a boy $117."
"Where do most of the skins come
from?"
"Oh, anywhere along the streams of
the surrounding country. A great
many come from the banks of the
SatsOp river, from Mud bay and
Mount Rainier. | get beaver, otter,
mink, marten, lynx, musk-rats, skunk,
raccoon. wildcat, fisher, wolf, deer,
elk and bear skins Of course the
beaver brings the best prices, and
when l get one of good color, 1 have
no trouble in disposing of it,"
''Where is your principal market?
81 send most of the skins to Wis
consin, where they are tanned and
sold to the furriers in all parts of the
country. There is IL large fur factory
in Milwaukee, which does an enor-
nous business in this line. They
send us Il a schedule of prices each
year, and we simply pack the skins
in bales and send an Invoice. They
have an inspector who looks into the
quality OF the furs, and if we are not
satisfied with the price, they simply
ship them back. Most of the skins
are sold by the size and quality, and
are graded accordingly. The beaver
sells by the pound, and a good skin
will bring from So to $3.50 per pound.
The others, according to size and col
or, bring from So to Sc per skin. The
deer and bear skins are used for rugs
principally, and are the best when ia
ken IN the cold season, between Jan
uary and March. After that thew
commence to rub themselves, which
greatly lessons the value of the skins.
"The majority of the animals are
taken in traps. The best otter and
beaver are found along the banks of
the Satsop, and we always find ready
market for these. Muskrats are very
plentiful and are used principally for
muffs, caps and gloves. Occasionally
L get cougar skin. They are worth
about $6 if large and of good quality"
Who brings the greater number of
skins; the Indian or white MANI"
The Indian did at one time, but
they have gradu lily let the business
drop, and it is almost wholly controll-
ed by the white man who finds it very
profitable in the right seasons. The
Indians, however, got better prices for
dressing them than the white man.
Yes, fully 10 per cent. better. You see
a skin should never be hung on the
fence and dried in the sun. That will
spoil any skin, 1t requires peculiar
process and atmosphere, which the
Indian thoroughly understands" =
