Tho value of the yearly\nfnr hunt nil sea Hi: I Innd throughout\ntho world ia abuul five million pounds.\nOf this amount Canada aud Alaska\ncontribute nearly ouelifth, uot because\nor the large number of skim, secured\nty the hunters, but because B0 mnny\nof them are raro aud valuable, for we\nBHi.-t remember tlmt tho seals taken in\nthe waters of North America alone re\npresent a very large sum each year.\nThe history of the Hudson's Uay\nCompany might bo callod a history of\ntie American fur industry; because,\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2iu:e hundred and fifty miles above the\nArctic Circle.\nEach company of traders takes a\nlarge supply of provisions and goods\nfor barter, in addition to its own stock\nOf food, guns, etc., and the journey in\nCovering the thousand miles to Fort\nResolution, or tbo greater distances to\nthe more remote posts, is one of great\ndifficulty and hardship. Tho first nine\nty miles out of Edmonton is overland\nto Athabasca Landing, on the A Iha\nbases River, where flat boats and can\noes are taken and the trip to the fur\nCountry beginb in earnest, The route\nlies downstream a!) the way, since the\nAthabasca flows north into Athabasca\nLake, which is connected with Great\nBlave Lako by tbe Great, Slave River.\nBut there are many rapids to be avoid\ned by means of long portages, so that\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0ven this part of tho journey is not\ntasy.\nThe traders come back to Edmonton\nmoru heavily Udon than when tbey\nwent away. Tho potts obtained by\nbarter direct from the trappers or co\nletted from distant posts are packed\nIn bales weighing about a hundred or\nan pounds each, and landed nn (heir\nCanoes and dat boats. Then the fight\nagainst the current sli the way back\nto Athabasca Lund ing is commenced.\nTow linen are attached to the bigger\nand heavier of the boats, and they are\n)d upstream by men who walk\ntoo heavy for the best specimens, wh\nhe trapper must catch iu snares o!\nrender boughs or in some such way.\nSometimes ho puts a little grease on hi.-\nkmitiug knife und lays it across the sue\ncesstcn of dots and dashes in the snow\nwhich show un ermine has passed thu\nway. Along comes the little white forn\nnu its erratic course again, The greosi\nippeals to it, and it begins to lick the\nblade of the knife; but, alast thu.\npiece of steel is icy cold, and the tiny\nred tongue is instantly frozen to it si\ntightly ns to render futile all the fran\ntic struggling. The knife ia too heavy\nlor the little animal to carry awuy\nand in his own good time the trappei\ncomes and finishes his work.\nIf he manages to take a silver fox\nthe trapper is in great luck, for tin\npelt of a prime specimen of that ani\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2nal is worth fifteen hundred dollar*\nto the mun who buys it down at Kd\ninonton, aud the very best will briny\nthe buyer as much ns twenty-five huu\nlied dollars. But the trapper gets few\nsilver foxes, and for theso be receives ti\nprice much smaller than the figure at\nwhieh the white trader will eventually\nmake his sale. The animal of which\nthe trapper will probably capture most\nis the lynx. One firm of traders brought\neight thousand lynx into Edmonton last\nsummer, and these formed only a part\nof the total receipts. Others which are\ntnken in large numbers are beavers,\nbeers, otters, wolverines, minks, martens, musk rats, musk-oxen, fishers,\nweasels, and white, rod, black, and\ncross fox. TeiiB of thousands are trapped during the course of a season.\nThe hunter or trapper must carry\ntraps and supplies into the remotest\nregions, where even lumbermen,, are un\nknown. He builds a low, wide sled\nholding three hundred pounds, nnd\nloads this with por a, flour, undercloth\ning, and Bteel traps. And when the iei\non streams and lakes will bear his\nwe-ght he starts into the wilderness,\nthere to lead a hermit's life for seven\nfrom the nearest habitation, the trapper tries to find two parallel streams\nrunning near each other. Here h\npitches Ins home-camp, setting traps\nalong both rcvirs. The work of taking\nmonths, Arrived at \u00C2\u00AB point many miles\ngame from the traps is varied by catching fish, snaring rabbits, and capturing\nmusk-rats for bait and fond. Nnw and\nthen the hunter mny kill a wandering\nbear\u00E2\u0080\u0094an event which may lend him to\na big store of wild bonny in a hollow\ntree. In this utter solitude lives tht-\nadventurer, perhaps forgetting the day\nof the week nr the month nf the year,\nlie fixes tho dato for breaking up camp\nand fuming bnck to civilization by thp\ncondition of the fur on the animals he\ntakes or by the effects of sunlight on\nthe snow. Now and then hp will shoot\ndeer, or even a moose, for the sale\nnf the rawhide, meat, and fat, which\nlatter keeps his traps from rusting.\nA file servos him instead of a grindstone to keen uxor and knives keen:\nnnd he washes his clothes through a\nhole in the ice, drying them by an open\nfire. The dazzling lylarp nf February\noften brings snow-blindness: and a\nmonth or two later the fast-thinning\nfnr on his prpy shows that further work ,\nis unprofitable. TTe then apcretes his\ntraps in hollow logs ready for next\nseason, trneks his load of pelts on the\nwide sled, nnd trudges off through the\nforest to the nearest post or settle\nment. Oa arriving, the trapper sells\nhis furs.\nWhen the trading Benson is over, the\ntrappers en bach to thoir winter hn\u00C2\u00BB,r\nIng grounds, which they do not leave\nfrom October til! .Tune. Here they mav\nhsvp a shark nr hut built of |o\u00C2\u00A3<\u00C2\u00BB which\nwill wmb.t. thp*n to withstand thp rigorous weather, but the location must be\near the homes of the animals, where\nhey can frequently examine the score\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0r mure of traps and nets which are\nmt fur their capture. The extreme cold\n,-eather largely enables them to keep\nhe skins \"cached\" ot stored out of\noors until late spring, when they pre*\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0are for their journey southward to\n.met tho traders. The furs may be\ntucked on ponies, on sledges, or in\n\u00C2\u00BBoata or otucr water-craft, for where\nvaterways a're available these are used\na making the jouruey.
