PAYMENTS FOR TAKING FOX SKINS. 
Following the plan of past seasons, natives at the Pribilofs were 
paid for their labor in taking fox skins during the winter of 1919-20 
on the basis of $5 for each skin secured. The funds are credited to 
each community as a whole and are later divided among the par- 
ticipating workmen according to the extent and skill of their work. 
On St. Paul Island 188 skins were taken, resulting in a total credit 
of $940 to be divided among 43 men. On St. George Island 750-skins 
were obtained, making a total credit of $3,750 to TBé divided among 
30 men. These sums will be paid from the proceeds of the sale of 
the skins, in February of 1921.
