HIGHEST PHIBES; ,7 t! The Northern Huskies are No Longer I ‘ jeweiied adornments. There is a lady Giving Things Away, and Demand Top Money ~â€" , A lady tourist who was making a astonishingly gorgeous to look at. collection of native curios at Fort Mc- Pherson, the most northerly fur-trad- ing post in Canada, had provided her- lhe hope of bartering them to good . advantage with the aboriginals. See. gmeces in the collection no or My lug sonic ivory carvings in a. “husky” tent this lady intimated that she wish- ed to acquire them. and offered in ex- change first a few packages of need- less, and then some beads, both of! which were inspected and decorously handed back to her with a shake of the head. ’ ' ‘ ‘ After some talking the Esquimsux 'ssld her would sell for a pipe and some tobacco. 'i‘hls looked easy, as the curios were cheap at $6 to $7, and the lady wont to the Hudson Bay Come pauy's store and bought $1 worth cf tobacco and a 50 cent pipe. These were handed to tho "husky," who-cour- ‘ieousiy looked them over, and than handing the pipe back remarked; “Tobacco good, pipe no good.’ The upshot was that the lady had to in- ;vest $5 in a pipe to obtain the coveted. Icurlos. 3 The most sought for articles of Esquimaux manufacture is the ivory- cribbage board, made out oil a walrus iusk. These make both useful articles 'and handsome ornaments. The sides. and. ends art usually covered with, carvings of wild animals, such as waiu roses, whales. foxes, wolves, etc., and the work is in many cases extremely, Well executed. ' A few years ago these cribbago. boards could be bought for a compareâ€"i tirely trivial sum, but now, owing to} a number of tourists having paid ab~; rsurd figure for them, the price has, mounted to an almost prohibitive iig-' urc, from SBO-to 3100 being asked tor; almost any specimen, while for an un-.' usually well-carved board an Exquii 'inaux will not accept less than $125. Other sought-after articles prow duccd by tho “huskies” are bead and. shell earrings, soapstone candl.2-, sticks, scaling spears, ivory ilshhooks; and sinkers. and patchwork mats man: 'uiuctured from a mixture of splices ot- wild, goat, seal and decrskins sewn' together in a regular and not unbeauti- 'ml pattern. . ; The trade with the Eskimo is con-, ducted on somewhat ditferent lines to that with the lndians. For a num-Z her of years past whaling schooners hailing from San Francisco have made their winter quarters at Herachel ls. :‘iand. so as to be ready to commente hunting these valuable mammals as “soon as open water appears. Their crew-s have dealt largely with the Es- kimos in furs and curios. paying small prices and in return selling them flour, bacon, tca. etc” for considerably less than the more cost of transporting such articirs into the country by the l i I . : .018 total value of which is estimated self before leaving Clvmmtlon wm‘ a sat between $125,000 and $150,000.
