Douglas Island news., 1905-01-11

It is a sad commentary upon the AL aska exhibit at the worlds fair that there was only one medal awarded this district for anything in connection with the gold mining industry. Alaska stands first among the political divis- ions of the United States in the pro- duction of placer gold and it stands third in the output from all classes of gold mining, yet the Treadwell pyramid was the only exhibit representing the industry of first importance in the dis trict to get medal. A stranger look ing over the awards to this district would not know but that there was only one gold mine in the entire dis trict. The great placer fields of Nome, producing annually between S4,COO,OOO and S5,OOO,O00, and those of the Yukon valley producing half that much, and both regions capable of producing ten times as much as they are at present, were entirely unrepresented. The list of awards would indicate that the peo- ple in this district were buster carving ivory walrus tusks and making baskets than they were at enriching the wealth of the nation with constantly increas- ing millions of gold.-Skagway Alas kan.
 Dnrinp the month of December, while through the East there was great suffering from tho cold, the peo- pie in Alaska enjoyed moderate weath- CT. says the Juneau Record-Miner. The coldest days during the month, Dec. 9, and 3, on both of which days the the thermometer stood at + degrees above. Not only were these the cold est days in the month, but the coldest so far this winter. The warmest day in December was the eleventh, when the thermometer registered 52 above. The voluntary observers meteorologi- cal record, kept by l. J. Sharick, shows the average daily temperature for the month of December 40 degrees above; rain or precipitation 9.56; number of cloudy day 20, number of clear days II. MT. Sharick is entitled to a great deal of consideration for the attention given by him to making out daily weather reports. He receives no con- pensation nor asks any. His daily report is sent to the weather bureau in the department of agriculture at Wash ington, D. O., and published in book form, together with reports from most every other section of the United States and distributed broadcast throughout the country. AS Juneau weather con- pares favorably with the climate of most sections of the States, the wider the publication of the exact conditions the sooner will we be able to convince people in the States that Southeastern Alaska is not up among the icebergs.
