Where the advertiser finds gilt-edged circu¬ 
lation of the right size, there he looks for the 
“open gateway” to the greatest possibility of 
profitable results. The two features are insepa¬ 
rable, and we have a fitting illustration of this 
in the gilt-edged circulation of Forest and 
Stream and the immense volume of advertising 
regularly carried.

GAME HOGS GETTING MINERS’ MEAT. 
A number of arrivals in Dawson, Alaska, 
from the head of White River report a ruthless 
slaughter of game in that district on the Ameri¬ 
can side during the past summer. Big-game 
hunters came into the district in several parties, 
and spent weeks there. The Copper River & 
Northwestern Railway brought some of the hunt¬ 
ers within short distance of the White River 
copper fields. The road and some of the coast 
steamer companies issued special illustrated pam¬ 
phlets, telling of the abundance of sheep, cari¬ 
bou, moose, bears, grouse and ptarmigan in the 
district. 
The parties attracted by the exploitation of 
the game feature so conducted themselves on the 
whole that the entire mining community is high¬ 
ly incensed. The men just down from the dis¬ 
trict cannot express themselves too emphatically 
in denunciation, they all agree, over the actions 
of the slaughterers. One of the miners, speak¬ 
ing at the Royal Alexandra, said, and the other 
White River people agreed with him, as follows: 
"White River has been blessed with consider¬ 
able large game, especially sheep. These animals 
have been near enough the prospectors for us 
to get fresh meat when we desire it without 
having to tramp forty to fifty miles. This sum¬ 
mer the people who slaughtered merely for pleas¬ 
ure in killing came. They reduced the herds and 
drove back the sheep. They also killed many 
caribou and moose when not needed. 
“One party came in after having killed four 
moose. Another killed four caribou. One 
woman in a Puget Sound millionaires’ party shot 
down three caribou and cried, it is said, because 
she missed the fourth. The party had no need 
of the meat beyond perhaps one animal. Other 
hunting parties were almost as bad. They came 
merely to get pleasure in shooting down hand¬ 
some large animals in cold blood. It is a cry¬ 
ing shame. The meat was left to rot. 
“Ptarmigan also could be shot everywhere 
at any time needed, but there was no excuse for 
anyone to slaughter the birds wantonly. How¬ 
ever, the sated pleasure seekers shot the birds 
by the score, and let them become putrid. One 
outfit brought forty ptarmigan into the North 
Fork island camp. Birds slaughtered in that 
number could not be used by the handful of 
people there in days. Several caribou and moose 
killed nearby at one time by single parties would 
last such little parties weeks, could it have been 
preserved. 
“Dr. Sugden, game warden for the White¬ 
horse district, was at Canyon City, on the Cana¬ 
dian side. Had the destroying squad come there 
the members would have been arrested and 
brought to Dawson. The game which the pam¬ 
pered pleasure seekers seek means life to the 
men prospecting in the wilds. If we take ham 
or bacon there, it costs forty cents a pound to 
lay it down at our camps, and then it is not 
fresh meat, and may be spoiled on the way in. 
“We are planning to take up this matter 
with the Alaskan officials, and we hope to put 
a stop to the waste. I must say that one game 
hunter there this season was fair. He is Mr. 
Wheeler, of Indiana, who would not shoot an 
animal unless it had particularly fine horns, 
something he seldom found to his satisfaction. 
He carried a glass, and would inspect all big 
game carefully. When once in a long while he 
did kill an animal, which looked attractive, he 
brought in the game to the miners and saved 
some for himself. None was wasted. 
“The big game of the district summers on 
the American side, but winters on the Canadian 
side, and may be termed Canadian game. The 
people of this side, as well as the Americans, 
have every right to enter a vigorous protest 
against the slaughter. 
“It is time the mere pleasure hunter were 
barred from Yukon and Alaska, and the game 
reserved for the people who will need it in the 
district. 
“Dr. Sugden, the Whitehorse game warden.
