The importance of the reindeer In the
tfev? lopnn-nt of Alaska cannot be ovvr
SStlmSted. Tins is true, whe-thcr look.?I
upon from tho side of humanity, utility,
or commercial value-. The nativo pin
piss o-cujiying Northern Alaska wero
brought to a condition of s-mi-staj-v.i
tlon through the p?rrststent detstrnctloa
of the whale by the whalers and the
rapid killing off of fur-biaiing animals
through the Introduction of bre*Hh-load
baj br-arms. The days when they can
support themselves and families corn
fortably by nshlna and hunting are pu.st,
and a chanco in their m-thotl of sub?
sistence has become absolutely n-c-ssar..
This change can bo IStJBrBd by tho In?
troduction of herels of domesti ; r-it.d-. r
and the education of the native popula?
tion in their caro und management.
A careful computation, based upon the
statistics of I-upland, where similar <-II
BaStaS and other conditions exist, show
Northern anel Central Alaska to l*e capa?
ble of supporting over a,uuu,'?uO head of
reindeer.
V."It?i tho discover-,' of large- and valua?
ble gold df-pouPs upon the streams and
creeks of Arctic and Pub-Arctic Alasko,
it Is found that the reindeer is us Im
[xrtant to white men as to th- Eskimo.
