PART 2910_LEASES--Table of Contents

 

                      Subpart 2916_Alaska Fur Farm

 

Sec.  2916.0-6  Policy.



    (a) The authority to lease the public lands in Alaska for fur-

farming purposes was granted in order to promote the development of the 

production of furs in Alaska.

    (b) No lease for the purpose of raising beavers will be granted on 

any area already occupied by a beaver colony nor will any such lease be 

granted on streams or lakes where the activities of beavers may 

interfere with the run or spawning of salmon.

    (c) In order to offer more people an opportunity to lease lands, and 

to avoid tying up large areas of land unnecessarily, fur-farming leases 

on public lands will not be granted for areas greater than are justified 

by the needs and experience of the applicant.
