Show THE DRAGERTON TRIBUNE Beaver Pelt Report Beaver pelts taken during the fall and early winter months were recently sold at a Denver fur auction, according to spokesmen for the Utah Department of Fish and Game. Gross receipts for the 1,148 Utah pelts sold amounted to Less sales commissions and express charges of $408.02, final net return from the furs was $5,-398.- 15. $4,-990.- 13. The average price of $4.35 per pelt sold is one of the lowest returns in many years. Prices ranged from a low of 25 cents for kits to $13.50 for blankets or top grade large furs. The spokesmen attribute the low net return to the fact that fewer such furs are being used in coat making, as well as several other factors. the 1,148 pelts, some 563 , Of were taken by 30 permit trappers who will receive $2,022.31, or an average of 75 per cent of the net receipts from the sale of these 563 furs. State trappers and wardens took 585 pelts from which all net sales receipts go into the fish and game fund. Net returns from these furs, plus the average 25 per cent credited to the state from the furs taken by permit trappers, leaves a total net return to the department of $2,967.82. It is noted that beaver increases must be cropped the same as any other game creature. When pelt prices are low it becomes an increasing problem to do so, with the financial return often not covering the expenditures incurred.
