ered with a very deep snow ; the deer
congregated in great herds for shelter
and for feed from the tender branches of
the cotton woods, and while there im.
prisoned by the deep snow, the crust of
which was broken through, thousands
wera slaughtered, and the race practic-
ally exterminated by the settlers and
pot hunters.
Really, the only paradise yet remain-
ing for the deer hunters is in Alaska,
and unless the government soon does
something there for their protection that
resort will soon vanish, as it has else-
where.
During President Cleveland’s form-
er administration, I spent two years
in Alaska, as United States Judge
and had abundant opportunity of study-
ing the game condition of that far off
country and of the habits of the fur-
bearing animals of that country. Many
men suppose that the deer of Alaska are
of the kinds that were formerly so abun-
dant in the mountains of Pennsyivania
and Virgjnia, this is not so, they are a
very small species and among the miners
and hunters of that region are called
mule deer on account of their diminutive-
ness. A carcass will seldom dress as
high as ninety pounds. That is not their
only characteristics. The flavor of the
flesh bears no resemblance to that of the
venison of the states, and more nearly
resembles that of young mutton ; and
where domestic animals are so rare as
they are in that country, and where all
meats from domesticated animals con-
sumed in the country, are broughta
thousand or two thousand miles by
steamer, without being cared for in a re-
frigerator, this Alaska venison is an ad-
mirable and pleasant substitute. In
summer, millions of acres of wild cow-
slip, far off toward the summits of the
mountains furnish rich pasturage for
these deer : while in winter when the
mountains everywhere are covered with
deep snow and the cowslip unavailable,
the animals find their pasturage in the
kelp along the shores of the infinite
number of small bays and inlets which
indent the mainland and the thousand
islands of the Alexandrian archipelago.
It is in the latter season, that the great-
est destruction of deer takes place there.
The animals are then very tame; the
Indians in their dug out canoes easily
approach the small herds, as they feed
unconscious of danger, on the kelp
when the tide is out, and are then ver-
itably slaughtered. The government
permits no other fire-arms to be sold
these Indians, by traders, accept the old
flint lock, Hudson Bay rifle, but these
are sufficiently destructive of the deer,
under the circumstances. No close
time has ever been provided, by act of
Congress, for the protection of Alaska
deer, in order to allow them a safe
breeding season. In fact, sucn an en-
actment could scarcely be enforced,on ac-
count of the long and devious coast line,
and the disregard which the Indians
themselves have for everything that
bas the appearance of restraint, no mat-
ter how salutary, and necessary for their
own future food supplies. The example
set them by the Russian creoles, still
there, and by the white men who have
found a refuge in that distant and wild
country is not calculated to cherish any
serious regard for restraints that inter-
fere with long-fixed habits. The conse-
quence is, that deer are rapidly dimin-
ishing in Alaska, the principal object
being now to hunt them for their pelts.
Up under the Artic circle, the former
home of the reindeer, the same causes of
extermination are at work. Before the
introduction of fire-arms among the na-
tives, thereindeer were hunted with a
long spear pointed with bone, and it did
not result in seattering the herds over
great acres of timber, when attacked, as
has happened since the native hunters
have been using firearms, in their an-
nasal hunting expeditions. A few years
of the latter method of hunting, have
practically exterminated reindeer in
Alaska. The general government two
years ago made an appropriation of
$15,000, with which to purchase Sibe-
rian reindeer and remove them to the
Alaska mainland, near Point Clareieca,
where an Experimental Station has been
established with 200 of these animals, in
the hope of restocking northern Alaska
with this species as a food supply for all
natives, under the Artic circles. When
they have been finally, turned loose to
be available for the natives it will be the
same old story of improvidence and ex-
termination, all over again. The far-
bearing animals, the blue fox, the sea-
otter, and the very valuable fur bearing
animals, of that character, are meeting
with the same fate, through a failure to
control which is scarcely practicable,
under conditions that will always hold
in that wild, desolate and sparsely settled
region of the North Pacific.
