Slaughter Of the Seals.

Il Is estimated that the number q.
seals taken from the Fribyloff islands
between 1870 and 1900 was about
100000 more. Since 1890 the catch
has been much reduced through the
seal herds being depleted by killing
them with guns, spears and other
weapons. The total value OF the
seals taken from these Alaskan wa
tiers in thirty years by the Alaskan
conrany and independent operators
must have exceeded s30,00O Geo. and

It is easy to see what a good bar
gain that transaction was for the fur
companies. At the annual sale of
Seal s---ns in London in December,
1925, some 10000 skins were sold at
an average price Of 500 a skin. The
Prices show high water mark, and

The supply has reached its Iowes4
