HIGHER PRICES FOR
FuRS next SEASON
Trappers Expected to Quit Till
Prices Again Go Up; Furs
Getting Scarcer

winnemucca Star: "Trappers will
quit until the prices go up again."
said Dave Mob. Rose, who has been
quite active In the trapping business
the past few years. II will not both
er trapping any more this season ex-
cept to get enough beaver to finish
making my daughter a coat. The fur
buyers are responsible for the low
prices. Furs are becoming scarcer
ell the time. Trappers will lay of
this Winter and next year furs Will
be higher than ever. Animals will
increase and trappers can then make
some money.
II saw the list of prices you pub
lished yesterday. There Is lots of
bunk In the fur business. The prices
you quoted gave black skunk as worth
q good deal more than striped skunk.
and there was one price for long
stripe and another price for short
stripe. Striped skunk is just al good
as black skunk, for they are all the
same after they are dyed.
"A fellow gets soaked a lot by fur
houses. They clipped me out Of a
fisher last year. Fishers are very
rare in this part of the country, and
this was the only one I ever caught.
1t was worth I25, and they gave me
SIS for it, CHASING 1t as mink. l sent
thu ~nnau hoaE and AnwnnnAn1 fko
return of the fur, but they replied
they could not find it."
Rose tells about a colony Of beav-
er building dams In the river on a
ranch below town. Last Summer
while he was working in the hay field
he ate his lunch every day on the
river bank at the colony. The dam
backed up the water onto the meadow
and Rose waded in and pulled the
willows out every noon for awhile.
Within ten hours after destroying the
dam the little workers would have
another made, having cut the willows
and carried them into the river and
put them in place. This was in a
swift part of the river where 1t was
difficult for a horse to stand.
Rose says the best place in Nevada
for trapping il in Elko County, on
the Owyhee river. That is naturally
a good place for wild animals and
the country is sparsely settled and
not many trappers go there. The
Little Humboldt is a good place for
otter. He has seen a few timber
wolves in Elko County. but never
knew of any In this section. No
mountain lions are ever seen In the
section close around Winnemucca,
but there n several In Elko County
and in the southeastern part, ana
some in the western part in the foot
hills of the Sierras. One is occasion
ally seen In the Jackson mountains
and the Pine Forest range. Two have
been ranging the past few years in
the Silver State range, and live by
killing Hackers cattle and wild
horses In that section. Rose has run
across their tracks at different times.
