In spite of unprecendented gains in population and hunting pressure, Alaska's wildlife is in good shape with nearly all species on the increase, FWS officials re- gently announced.
 Contrasting the wildlife situa- tion with that of the commercial fisheries Regional Director Clar- 'ence Rhode said it is becoming more a matter of how to best utilize the annual increase of large and small game rather than having to restore it from deple- tion. Most fur animals have also increased, he said, largely be- cause of poor fur prices and bet ter opportunities to make money in construction and defense jobs. Southeast Alaska's mink popula- ton and certain beaver areas are exceptions.
 Rabbits, grouse and ptarmigan are near the top of their cycle of abundance and the situation is generally good with all species of big game, the regional office reported. A few years ago the white mountain sheep population was at an all time low, the FWS reported, but in all areas they are now showing a comeback, A closed season was declared for the first time in 1949 and since then short seasons have contrib uted to increase of this prize game animal. Close to major pop ulation areas such as Anchorage the FWS has had several permit hunts to allow some hunting without taking too many animals. Predator control has been carried out in the areas where it was problem and this, too, has aided the sheep in their comeback.
 While the caribou herds are still considerably below former abundance, they too are begin ming to show an increase in many areas according to extensive FWS aerial surveys. Largest herds of caribou are now found in the vicinity of the Brooks Range where sampling of the calf crop last spring showed a remarkable increase. Caribou range over thousands of miles and FWS bio logists are making detailed maps of time and extent of migrations as well as notes on range condi- tions and predator concentrations. More than 200 wolves have been taken on the Alaska Peninsula since the start of concentrated control efforts to save the caribou. "A closed season here has also helped with recovery of the herd. { Moose and bear seem to be in
