New Bern. Sept. 30.-A visitor from

point from New Bern, each week

SILVER GREY FOX PELT
IS PURCHASED HERE

A most beautiful silver grey fox
skin was brought in the first of the
week by the we'll known prospector
and trapper, Zeke Mullet, who has
spent the winter in the White river
country, prospecting and trapping.
In addition to the freak fox pelt he
had some fine lynx and marten hides,
and sold the entire outfit to Jack
Sapiro for 1925, holding the prize
skin at $140. C. C. Hull, realizing
the value of the pelt, gave Mr.. Sapiro
|S25 for his bargain, and 1t was not
two hours after some of the old
timers got a look at the skin until
Mr. Hull was offered $3.50 for it.
The skin is a perfect specimen of
the black and silver grey fox, which
naturalists claim to be freaks, being
very rare and valuable. An expert
on furs stated after carefully exam
lining the pelt, that it was an I'M
usually good one, and no doubt worth
twice the price already paid for it.
The head and shoulders are entirely
black, not a brown or cross fox hair
on it, and were it not for the silver
grey hairs along the back, which
would make it perfect black, the
pelt would be worth over $1,000.
