IMPORTANT DISCOVERY
FUR BEARING ANIMALS

Discovery by the Biological Survey
at it's experimental fur farm, KEGS
vile. N. Y, Of the mating season OF
the martens is of much practical in
terest and value to producers of fur
bearing animals. Several authorities
have published statements to the Ell
feet that martens breed late in the
fall or in winter, and it has been the
practice to keep the sexes separate
during the summer. Knowing the
lack of success which has attended
such practices, DR.. Karl B. Hanson,
in charge of the Biological Survey
Fur Farm tried the experiment OF
placing the males and females to-
gether in summer, and promptly dis
covered that he had discovered the
problem of mating these animals IN
caDtiyity. AS a result of his eX-
pertinent, the martens in his charge
and one pair on a neighboring private
fur farm have bred the last OF July
or in August and have had their
young in April, the period of gesta-
ton appearing to be about eight
months. It is hoped that he has dis
covered the problems for farmers
hereafter to breed martens in cap
tivity, thus adding another OF our
valuable fur-bearers to the list OF
those which can be handled sue
cessfully in domestication. A de-
tailed report by Doctor Hanson on
his observations will be prepared for
publication later.

CANDLE ESKIMO
MINER FINDS
RICH CLAIM

According to a telegram received
in Nome from George l.. Stanley,
dated Noorvik, Alaska, a remarkable
gold strike in all probability has
section.
The telegram states that Andrew
Sannoo made a discovery on Koopull
Creek, tributary to auckland
River, eight miles below the Buck
land Mission and 80 miles from
Candle.
Pans run as high as two dollars
each and in prospect holes two feet
deep the paintings showed $24.75.
Supt. j. H. Mcguire and DR.. Rex
F. Swartz of the Bureau of Education
are with Mr.. Stanley investigating
the strike.
Samoa is an Eskimo man formerly
from Unalakleet and has been pros
pecting for some time, discovering
the first real prospects at the freeze
up time.
Mr. Stanley states that in his
opinion the strike is undoubtedly
genuine Both Hilky Robinson and
Jack Murphy, two well-known Can
dleites now in Nome, state that they
have been aware of the strike rumor
for some time past, but have not
obtained any definite data.
Mr.. Murphy states that he is
familiar with the nature of the
ground in the reported strike section
and that bedrock is within a few
feet of the surface, in some cases
but a few inches below the surface.
If the deposit is of any extent it
will consequently be easily mined.
There is also the likelihood that the
find is merely a pocket. Whatever
the true condition may be, will soon
be determined as no doubt many
miners from the surrounding coun-
try will rush to the district and
prove or disprove the find.
It is to be hoped that the report
is we'll founded and that a real eX-
tensive placer field has been tn
covered.

CRAB CANNERIES AT
SELD0VIA TO START
WORK IN FEBRUARY

II is stated that there will be four
canneries in the vicinity Of Seldovia
operating and packing the large spi'
der crab some time next month. The
spider crabs are found in abundance
in Cook Inlet at certain times of the
year Being a deep-sea crab of ire
mendous size, some reaching seven
feet from tip to tip, the average size
running about five feet. This species
which are the least known of, mi,
CRATE to unknown regions at certain
periods, returning to the shallow
waters, it is thought, to spawn and
it is then for possibly three months
time, that the crabs may be caught
The meat is one of these average
size crabs will weigh in the neighbour
hood of ten to fifteen pounds, and
is of a pinkish red color. The meat
is delicious and is constantly in
demand in the States and in Europe,
Prior to the Alaskan canneries
hacking this species of crab the Jap
anese packers furnished the United
States market, but the recently in
creased tariff on the Japanese pro
duct by the United States made it
possible for Alaska canneries to COM
pete. It is thought the industry will
develop into a large one within a
few years.

ished by Act of Congress approved
August l, 1912, and since that date no
association larger than 40 acres can
be staked. A 160-acre tract staked
prior to August /, 1912, is of course
still a valid location. 1t seems GER
tain that the only valid amended To-
cation which can be made and filed
for such a claim is for the mere DUP
pose of defining and describing the
boundaries more accurately.
