Ottawa—Another huge beaver and fur preserve for the exclusive use of the Indians has been established in northeastern Quebec. The new beaver sanctuary embraces an area of 9000 square miles. Large areas, set aside as pieserves, provide sanctuaries where beaver will be unmolested until their numbers can increase to a point which will permit the trapping of an annual crop, without fear of undue depletion. Preserves are located near centres of heavy Indian population, and have been established with a view to ensuring a livelihood to these people who have always found their chief source of income and I subsistence on the trapline.
