A Blue Fox Raaeh.

Sheriff Truman has received a lett CT from Jack Smith, an old Pinal county miner, who is now at Valdez, Alaska, from which we are permitted to copy the following:
 "The boss thing is a blue fox ranch. The blue fox is native of the Arctic. Its hide is worth $50 when the fox is ten months old, because it is finer at that time. They breed once year and the females have an average of four at each litter. That is $l20 per year that each pair of blue foxes will bring you. You can buy them for $75 per pair, all you want to stock your island, but you must pay the govern ment $100 per year for your lease and must feed the foxes every other day. You need two men in summer to get a years supply of fish to feed them through the winter. 1t is big pay ing thing, and beats cattle all to h-l, as you do not have to wait three years as for a steer. pair of blue foxes will net you $s6O in the same time. Two uen can take care of POO pair This business was started here few years ago by the Alaska Commercial company and is paying big"
 Jack Smith writes that he is going into the Chetna country, 175 miles from Valdez, this spring, which he says is reported to be "the biggest and richest copper belt on earth" He thinks Valdez will be the main seaport 1T Alaska, with railroad connection witf the Yukon. A preliminary line has already been surveyed to the Chetna country.
