proprietors of about a third of north america this is consideration ol payment to thcxlngof two elks and two black beavers with the coming of this hudson bay company a standard value was placed upon tbe skin of the beaver it became the unit of value in all commercial dealings there wai money in circulation and trade was carried on by barter when the in dlan hunter brought his furs into a tntdlng post the trader sorted them into graded lots the value was com puted at so mani beavers or castors as they were then called tbe indian would then receive a number of si pieces of wood representing the value of his furs with these tally sticks he purchased goods from the trader for twelve sticks he could- purchase a gun two pieces of this quaint wooden money gave htm one pound of powder and a single skin was good for four pounds of shot at thai early period tobacco was free of trusts bqd taxes and so nimrod was able to procure one pound of the fragrant weed in return for one bear er skin when the ladies of our brit families shopped at the bay there were no distracting bargain das the price tag on a laced coat for women demanded fire good skins beads were quite reasonable at two skins per pound she was a brave woman who could resist a comb and a mirror priced at only two beavers at tbe brst public sale of beaver in london england in 1672 skins brought from thirty- five to ortyfive shilling a pound a side scraped and dried weighs from one and a quarter to one and a half pounds in a years when the fur trade had been further developed revenue to tba hudson s bay company from this one source amounted to well over one hundred thousand dollars per year seventyfive years of hunting and trapping did not reduce this great natural resource to any appreciable extent in 1742 a band or indians came into prince of wales fort or hudson bay bringing with them no less than arty thousand beaver skins by the beginning of the nineteenth century trading pus i a had- been estab lished at remote

skins at that time the country del ween calgary and edmon ton was thickly populated by colonies or beaver in 1917 the province of quebec produced forty thousand skins at that time farmers in south era
