YIELD FROM SEAL SKINS
 GREATER FROM LEASE

G. Donald Gibbons of the Gibbons Lohn Dressing and Dyeing Co.,, and also vice-president of the Foulke Fur Company of St. Louis, accompanied by w. P. Zschorna recently visited the Pribilof Islands.
 MT. Gibbons represents the firms in St. Louis who hold the contracts with the government of the United States for the dressing, dyeing and sale of the fur seals killed on the islands.
 The annual yield from the govern ment harvest of fur seal is one of the important returns to the United States treasury from the Territory of Alaska. The importance of the industry is dis closed in the following interview with MT. Gibbons:
 'The government in 1911 entered actively into the fur seal business on the Pribilof Islands. At that time the herd on these islands was estimated to be abou 210,00O animals. The pres ent herd by actual count contains 750000 seals despite the fact that 115,- 900 have been taken and sold during this period. This herd now has the capital value of forty million dollars. This gives some idea of the importance of the industry.
 up and until the year 1915 the pelts taken by the government were sold raw on the London market and the United States never realized more than an average of $500 skin. In 1915 the market of skins was moved from London to the United States and since that time the skins have been sold dressed on the St. Louis fur mar ket by our company and the net re- turns to the United States government have averaged $50 per skin.
 "This year the Gibbons Lohn Fur Dressing and Dyeing Company has sent lz nlSHly trdlneu men to lne l9l- ands to take proper care of the skins before shipment to the States. The plans to take 30,000 skins this year which will have market value of $1500,OOO. Our company will take particular care to see that these skins reach the market in the best pos sible condition"
