FISHERY INDUSTRIES. Lt 
7. Trapping and hunting permits.—Applications for permission to engage in trap- 
ping, hunting, or propagating fur-bearing animals or game animals should give the 
name of the person desiring the permit and the island or islands on which it is pro- 
posed to operate. At present no permits will be issued for trapping or hunting fur- 
bearing animals except to natives of the reservation. 
8. Permits to ship live foxes from the reservation.—F or the present no permits will be 
issued for capture and shipment of live foxes from the reservation, except domestic 
stock from established fox farms. 
9. Permits to enter the reservation for the purpose of engaging in any business will 
be granted only when the department concerned is convinced that, by so doing, the 
objects for which the reservation was established will not be endangered thereby. 
10. Collecting permits.—Permits to enter the reservation for the purpose of collecting 
birds, mammals, or other natural-history specimens for scientific purposes will be 
granted only to properly accredited representatives of the United States Government 
or agents of public museums. 
11. Reindeer and caribou.—The killing of reindeer and caribou on any of the islands 
of the reservation is hereby prohibited except under special permit. 
It will be noted that section 3 of the regulations provides that resi- 
dents of the reservation desiring to engage in commercial fishing 
must first secure a permit to do so. Natives of the reservation catch 
salmon, cod, herring, and other fishes for their own use, and it has 
been their custom to sell a few fish to the white residents and to vessels 
stopping within the reservation. This affords the natives an oppor- 
tunity to improve their condition, and it is not the intention of the 
Bureau at present to require that permits be secured to cover the 
operations of natives, residents of the reservation, who, in addition to 
taking fish for their own domestic purposes, take fish for sale locally, 
that is, within the reservation, and in limited quantities. 
In December, 1914, a permit, expiring December 31, 1915, was 
issued to A. C. Goss, of Unalaska, authorizing him to take Atka 
mackerel in the vicinity of Attu Island and red salmon in the vicinities 
of Umnak and Unalaska Islands. It was stipulated that all work in 
connection with the taking of the fish and their subsequent prepara- 
tion for market should be performed by Aleuts or Indians who were 
residents of the reservation. 
A brief account of the work which Mr. Goss did in connection with 
Atka mackerel is given on page 67. 
In March, 1915, a permit was issued authorizing A. B. Somerville, 
of Unalaska, to take red salmon in the vicinity of Attu Island. The 
same requirement was made in regard to the employment of native 
labor as was made in Mr. Goss’s permit. The permit was subse- 
quently extended to include mackerel. 
AFOGNAK RESERVATION. 
Fishing operations within the Afognak Reservation during the sea- 
son of 1915 were under the general supervision of Assistant Agent 
E.M. Ball. The details of the work were attended to in large measure 
by his assistant, Warden James H. Lyman.
