When Baranoff represented the Russian crown in Alaska his headquarters were moved from Sitka to Kodiak, thence to Nuchek and back to Sitka, where the seat of government was established when the United States purchased the territory. While on Prince William Sound, Baranoff ex- plotted the sea otter in partic- ular and the natives in gen. eral. As late as 1885 Nuchek was a trading post of the Alas ka Commercial Company. It is there, too, that Captain Aber- crombie cached his outfit when he explored the Copper River. The settlement is on Hinchin- brook Island fronting Hinchin- brook Straits.

RECORD FUR
 PRODUCTION 1924
brook Straits.

Fur production statistics for 1924 compiled by the Blologl-
 cal Survey disclose that furs to 1 the approximate value of $2, 100000 were shipped from
 Alaska last year. The figures 1 given do not include the value
 of the fur seal pelts taken on
 the Pribiloff Islands and rep
 resent only belts from land lfur-bearing animals.
 | A compilation of the figures
 obtained from the records of Ipostmasters and express agents
 in various parts of the Terri tory show declared fur shin-
 ments to the value of $1.707, 1884. It is known however, that large numbers of pelts are
 shipped out for which no def mite figures are obtainable. It l is indicated, however, that the value of the undeclared ship
 ments will bring the total to two million dollars or over. This is said to be one of the best records of fur production | in years, especially in view of i the fact that the average price of skins last year was less than in 1923, and the added fact that there was a close season on beaver and marten, two of the most valuable fur bearers. According to the bureau fig lures a total of 286,347 skins were reported shipped from
 the Territory. Mink led all oth-
 CTS with a total of 39,356, val
 ued at $334,526. Red fox at-
 tained second place with 6
 total of 13,353, value S267,O00. Other pelts in order of value
 were as follows: White fox,
 STAB, value S229,162; musk
 rat, 194,O53, value $194,053;
 Marten (trapped in 1923), 6,
 O19, value $15O,475; beaver (trapped in 1923), 5,713, val
 de $114,26O. Decreases in the
 the number of furs, other than
 marten and beaver, shipped as
 against the 1923 figures are 1 loted in several instances. The greatest falling off was i'll
 muskrat, which showed a de- cline of 25,558 pelts. One not able increase is shown in blue fox, which gained BIO skins.
 Mink shipments also increased by 18,68S over the preceding year. @sa

He says that on California creek, Frank Ferguson and his partners took out $40,000 in one month and behind them one man rocked out $200 in four days from their tailings. This cleanup was made on one piece of ground 100 feet long after the men had worked all summer making ready for op- erations. Since the freezeup the proprietors of the California creek layout have been freight ing in lumber for construction and will continue operations the whole eight miles, the length of the creek which they control.
