Revenue from royalties actually received on the pelts exported and tanned, as 

 indicated on the statement of revenue included in this Report amounted to $34,307.15. 

 This figure does not represent the total amount actually due, for the reason that the 

 large fur companies operating numerous posts in the extreme northern portion of 

 the Province, under an agreement with the Department, balance their fur royalty 

 account at the end of the season, thus certain royalties due on pelts exported and 

 tanned by these companies during the period under review were not received in the 

 Department until after the expiration of this particular period. 



Based on average prices which it is believed are reasonably accurate and fair. 

 It has been estimated that for the pelts as shown in column 1 of the above table, 

 trappers would receive from the sale thereof in all a total sum of $1,024,888.28. 



The previous table does not include pelts of silver, black and blue foxes raised 

 on licensed fur farms, which are exempt from the payment of royalty. According to 

 the fur records branch, 15,829 such pelts were exported and 1,587 tanned in the 

 Province, and it has been estimated that in the case of these pelts, the sale of the 

 same secured in excess of $615,0'00.0'0 for the fur farmers responsible for producing 

 the same.
