 MT. J. H. Steward who arrived in town from Unalakleet is an en- thusiastic believer in the future of the reindeer industry. He owns a herd of about eighty female deer and says that every stake which heretofore he put into prospecting is now put into deer. He believes that there is great future fer white men in the industry and that when some more white men get into it, market and transportation facili- ties will be increased. At Unalakeet the Lapps own 5000 deer and white men can obtain possession of stock of females from them at the average rate of $25 @ head The Lapps have done we'll with deer and would wei come the entry of white men. They with their families are now of in dependent means and are quite con- fortably fixed. They are educating their children well, do not inter- marry with the natives and provide every facilities to tho white men to also own dcer. Deer moat sells from 20 cents a pound in St. Michaels and up the river for as high as 75c. A large quantity was shipped up the river this winter by parcels post MT. Steward has been prospecting for over ten years and has not been outside during that time. He ac' companied Frostland with herd oi deer to Nelson island. That place is good for summer but poor fol winter grazing.
