 balance and that many of the pelts purchased by him will yet be worth all that he paid for them. Smith was in the Chandlar dis trict, among other sections north of the Yukon river, and confirms the report of good pay recently un- covered there. He says several creeks, including Big creek, are pro- ducing gold this summer. Word was also recently received from that district by Jack Holzer, who re- gently arrived in Nenana from the lower river. He has letter from D. A. Murphy, under date of May 30, in which it is stated that be- tween three and four feet of eight cent pay dirt was recently encoun- tered on Big creek, on the bench, and it is believed by oldtimers that the pay is being lined up below the original discovery.
 Smith met Jim Funchion and Bert Johnson on their way into the Chandlar from the States, but oth- erwise there did not appear to be any special movement in that direc- tion.
 Smith expects to be back in Ne mana about the first of the year.

FUR BUYERS ARE CAUGHT BY DROP:
 TRADERS PROFIT

The recent slump in fur prices in the States and throughout the world generally raised havoc among the fur buyers scattered over the Arctic regions, beyond the reach of tele-
 graph and mail service, according to Alex M. Smith, representative of the Liebes company, of San Fran cisco, who was himself a victim of the severe break in the Outside
 markets. Mir. Smith arrived in Ne
 mana several days ago from the up-
 per Yukon, and left for the States
 today aboard the steamer Alaska to
 have a reckoning with his company
 and to make plans for another in-
 vasion of the Far North later in
 the year. He is taking a large ship

 them purchased from trappers and
 traders at considerably more than
 their present value.
 When Smith left for the Arctic
 on his fur buying expedition sev-
 eral months ago, he carried with
 him instructions from his company to pay certain amounts for certain furs, as is the custom. The maxi
 mum price that he could pay was i fixed for him, but there was no limit to the number of furs he might purchase. And he did the best he could under the circumstances, doing what ordinarily might have been considered very good stroke of business. He bought all the furs in sight at prices prevailing at the
 time he invaded the fur regions,
 and was not aware of the slump
 until he returned to civilization sev- eral weeks ago.
 And there were others. Smith
 says the woods were full of fur buyers this year and there was keen
 rivalry among them, which added
 considerably to their losses. The
 Lampson-Hibbard company, he says,
 will just about go to the cleaners
 as a result of the slump, the buyers
 of that concern having gone the , limit in an effort to out-buy the
 Hudson's Bay company. They paid
 as high as five and six dollars for
 muskrat and correspondingly high prices for other furs which have
 since declined greatly in price. They
 did not know that prices were drop ping Outside, and were loaded down
 with furs when the sad news finally was conveyed to them by special
 messenger.
 1 Smith paid Oscar Schulz. Crow river trader, snug fortune in cash for his stock of furs, and nearly all the other traders in Northern Alas ka and the Canadian Arctic were fortunate in unloading to good ad- vantage before it had become gen
 erally known that prices had drop Iped. But in spite of recent happenings in the States, Smith is confident that the fur market will recover its
