SEALSKINS FROM THE PRIBILOF ISLANDS ENTERED AT SAN 

 FRANCISCO, 1872 TO 1889. 



Statement of the number of fur-seal skins received by the Alaska Commercial Company 

 from ports in the Territory of Alaska, and entered at the port of San Francisco, Cali- 

 fornia. 



I, the undersigned, hereby certify that the foregoing statement is 

 compiled from the original Eeturn Manifests of the vessels conveying 

 said sealskins, now on file in the Custom House in the city of San Fran- 

 cisco ; that such statement is compiled from the count made at the said 

 port of San Francisco by the United States customs officers when said 

 vessels were unloaded, as appears in the aforesaid Eeturn Manifests. 

 Said statement has also been compared with the duplicate receipts to 

 the Alaska Commercial Company from the United States Treasury, 

 now on file in this Custom House, which said receipts were given on 

 payment of the agreed tax per skin on all skins taken by said Com- 

 pany on the Pribilof Islands, said receipts also containing the number 

 of skins on which said tax was paid $ and that said statement and said 

 receipts, so compared, practically agree as to number of skins received 

 at this port by the said Alaska Commercial Company and the number 

 on which said Company paid the tax fixed by the lease of the Pribilof 

 Islands to said Company. 



Done at the Custom House in the city of San Francisco, California, 

 this 18th day of November, 1892.
