FOX-CATCH ING BECOMES
PROFIT A BLE BUSIN ESS
DAWSON. May 30.?Dawson is rich
er today by six live young foxes than
slit was yesterday, and it to calcu
lated by some that the little fellows
are worth several thousand dollars.
The animals were captured in their
dens, where they had hidden in the
ground near Five Fingers.
Five of the little foxes belong to
John McEachern and partner, and are
temporarily at Dan Cronin's,. where
they are kept in a wire cage, and
locked in a room. They are about the
size of a cat, and as pretty as can
be. Three are evidently silver grays,
and the others cross foxes. All were
captured by McEachern and partner
in one den. it is said local fur deal
ers who are acquainted with the value
of live foxes have offered three to
four thousand dollars for the five ani
mals. One story is to the effect the
owners refused to sell for the reason
tley th'tik of starting a fur farm near
Dawson, believing the animals reared
here will bring them a fortune and
that furs of foxes reared in a cold
country will be much better and com
mand a far better figure than those
grown in a warm locality.
The sixth fox just brought to the
city was captured by Albert Jones,
Henry Itader, Charles McDowell, Sr.,
and Charles McDowell, Jr. The party
is headed for Ruby. Mr. Jones says:
"Our fox is probably a black or a
silver gray. We cannot tell at this
age. We caught him close to where
the McEachern party got the five
others. I knew of the foxes living in
that locality. Fifteen years ago 1
came into this country, and herded
cattle ten miles this side of Five Fing
ers. In a dry creek bottom a mile
back from the Yukon 1 then saw a
black fox and several coal black kit
tens. 1 thought nothing of them then,
but now that live foxes are money, I
looked for them on this trip down. We
found hundreds of holes where the
foxes and other animals had hidden.
In a place 40 by 100 feet we dug into
numerous holes. In one such place
where we found our little fox were
probably 100 such creatures as go
phers, owls, rabbits and the like. We
chased our fox to a small hole at the
rear, and dug down, kept the entrance
covered, pinched him down with a
shovel, and then grabbed him bare
handed. He fought like a demon, but
is now tame and happy and eats regu
larly."

"\V lien Alaska is mentioned the av
erage citizen begins to conjure up pic
Lurch 01 glaciers and snowoaiiKs and
other arctic scenes," said Delegate
James \\ lckersiiam recently heiore
tue Senate coininitlee 011 territories,
and it is sale to say the description
ot Alaska's wonderful agricultural pos
sibilities as pictured by its representa
tive in Congress astonished the ma
jority of his hearers, illustrating this
feature ol the North country, Wicker
sham described to the committee the
Tanana Valley, 5U miles wide, hun
dreds ol miles long and as fertile as
the .Mississippi \ alley.
Describes Tanana.
He said: "There are no glaciers
north of the Tanana Valley; the gla
ciers 01 Alaska are in the southern
part, along the seacoast. The Tanana
Valley has 110 greater precipitation
than Arizona, and would be an arid
desert if it were not for the fact that
every drop of water and every snow
IlaKe that tails iu that country Ts con
served. It is maintained there in cold
storage, and when the warm spring
sun strikes the ground it thaws the
surface. When it thaws deep enough
we put in our gardens, and then as the
moisture is ueeded it comes from
below.
"We have 22 hours of sunshine af
ter we put our seeds in the ground, 22
hours of sunshine for the crops to
grow by, and they grow by leaps and
bounds. With this ever rising mois
ture just below the roots and this in
cessant sunshine we raise as flue
crops in the Tanana Valley as can be
ruised anywhere?potatoes, cabbages,
carrots, beets, turnips and everything
of that kind, cauliflower, barley and
wheat."
John E. Balluine, of Seattle, corrob- j
orated the statements of Wickershaui j
and in addition suid: "1 grew up 011 a
farm in Eastern Washington, one of
the best agricultural districts in the
United States. 1 lived on a farm un
til 1 was ltl years old, and 1 know
what agriculture is and what it re-;
quires. 1 have spent about 12 years;
in development work in Alaska, and
from what 1 have seen every summer!
in tlm Susitna Valley, it is as good a
farming district for grasses, hay and j
all kinds of vegetables and berries as
Eastern Washington from Spokane to
Walla Walla. They are growiug apple j
trees successfully at Knik, in the Su
sitna Valley, and you will know from
that that the winter climate there can
not be very severe."

YUKON DEATH LOOKS
LIKE A BAD INDIAN
?o-o?
FAIRBANKS, May li).- That Victor
Ekengren, the woodcliopper at Beaver,
011 the Yukon, who died in January, un
der circumstances that have aroused j
the Yukon settlements, came to his
death directly because of an attack
made by Beaver Creek William, an
Indian crazed with drink, is the opin
ion of Frank Kinosky, of Beaver, says
the Fairbanks Times. Captain T. S.
Haynes, while on his way from the
Chandlar to Fairbanks, took the state
ment of William Billings in the mat
ter at the Blanchard woodcamp 011
the Yukon. The district attorney is
to bo presented with the statement in
order to help in presenting the case
to the next grand jury.
The statement was taken April 26
last, and Billings said that Kinosky
told his story a week before at the
woodcamp. Kinosky's story was as
follows:
Beaver Creek William wanted to buy
a quantity of whisky from Ekengren,
aud came to his cabin for that pur
pose one day. The woodchopper told
the native that he had none. Eken
gren owed the native half of a quar
ter of moose meat, and went to the
cache for the meat and gave Will
iam his half. This done, Ekengren !
was going up the ladder into his cache j
to put back his own half of the meat,!
when the native jumped upon nim,!
pulled him to the ground, jumped 0.1
him and started to pound him with
his fists. Adam, another Indian, who
was present and witnessed the assault,
held his hands over Victor's face,
face, while "William continued to heat
the prostrate woodchopper.
Adam then helped Victor into his
cabin. When Victor was sitting on
the edge of the Led, the native came
in and repeated his request for whisky.
When refused it, he pulled the wood
chopper from the edge of the bed to
the floor, hitting Victor's head and
back on the solid floor, and then he
started to beat him again. Adam sep
arated them, but Beaver Creek Will
iam persisted in making demands for
the liquor. Victor got a bottle from
under the bed and offered it to Will
iam. The native refused it, and de
manded a full bottle. He again pro
ceeded to beat up the woodchopper
Then Adam and William left the cab
in and went to their tent below. Ad
am stated that Beaver Creek William
went to the woddchopper's cabin alone
afterward.
From that day on, Ekengren was
sick, coughing blood and being con
fined to his cabin continuously. He
died nine days later.
