The GOLD oE ALASKA.

1t was in 1899 that the gold pro-
duction of Alaska began to jump swift
ly upward. In the sos and early '90s
million dollars a year was the limit
OF production. Between 1896 and 1898
a little over s2.00O,OO0 year was
secured. but in 1899 almost 81, 1000, 900
was mined, and the next year was
over sS.00O,000
Since then there has been an In
crease almost every year, but 1905 and
1906 show gains vastly greater in
amount, and even comparable in pro-
portion to the gains In the years
when all America was excited over the
discoveries. The figure for 1906 was
$21 100000 and for 1906 $4,000, 900,
the two years together having pro-
duced more than third OF all the
gold that has ever come from the
territory.
Economists and statistiians tell us
that while the mining OF precious met
ais offers great prizes to the few,
nevertheless, II balance sheet for all
miners were struck, 1t would show
very much heavier outlays than were
ever repaid in reproduction. Alaska
probably holds the record for heavy
cost, owing to the difficulties OF reach
ing some OF the inland mining fields
A writer In the National Geographic
| Magazine, describing the heavy ex-
penses, especially for inland transpor-
tation In the summer time. says that
| a hu -. A..
ing operated when every pound OF
mining machinery and every pound
OF supplies cost more for transporta-
tion alone than first class letter pos
| tage costs in the United States.
With such conditions, and with the
possibilities OF mineral and other do
yelopment in some parts OF the terri
tory very great, 1t Is no wonder that
railroad enterprises In many direc-
tons are being carefully considered.
nor Is 1t any wonder that few Of them
pass beyond the paper stage. II the
hoped-for Alaska-Siberi transconti-
mental railroad could only tap at the
same time the richest mining fields, II
might In no distant future become a
reality. Unfortunately, however. the
two kinds OF enterprise cannot be as
ISOLATED. Alaska Is bound to be de
yeloped. but the system OF trial and
error. and the survival OF the fittest
must be used. Development Will be
an expensive business, and the expert
ences of the gold hunters serve for
warning.-Record-He

Rico News.
Latest reports from the Carbon Lake
property at Red Mountain tell of one
OF the most remarkable copper finds
In the San Juan country. In the 200
foot level OF the above named mine a
vein, varying from five to seven feet
was cut running from 90 to 46 per cent
copper, 20 ounces In silver and small
values in gold. The ore seems to
be in the form of a chimney and
extends upwards to the surface, with
unknown depth. In the 100-foot level
the vein has a width of from three
to five feet
The property is owned by NJ. T.

best mining men in this camp, but
one of unbounded popularity. Work

ELECTRIC PLANT
FOR GROUP MILL

Rico News.
The United Rico Mines company is
making preparations to start the
Group tunnel mill The power will
be electricity instead of steam as for
merly, thus materially reducing the
cost of operation. 1t is understood
that another dynamo probably of 100
horse power will be installed by the
company at the electric light plant
and the power transmitted over wires
to the mill. There is an abundance
of water but the single dynamo at
the electric light plant is unable to
supply the additional power needed
for the mill
With anothe dynamo the company
can light the Group tunnel and the
workings therein with electricity thus
giving additional facilities to mining
The company is opening up bodies
Of high grade milling ore in the Ute,
Powder House and other veins inter.
sected by the tunnel, and there will
be an ample supply of excellent ore
with which to begin. Some OF the
ore is almost high enough In grade
to bear shipment, but much greater
profit will accrue 10 the company by
milling.
For reserve there is practically an
unlimited amount of mining dirt in
the old slopes. Some preliminary
work will be necessary to open up the
old chutes, but this can easily be done
before the new dynamo is installed.
The Group mill is splendidly ar
ranged and equipped, but has never
been operated to the best advantage

b. +. Morkel OF Sallda has invented
what he calls the simplex signal sys-
tenn, which Is designed to prevent
head-on collisions after trains have
passed the telegraph station. The in
vention consists of large red sheet
OF steel In the center of which is a
group Of electric lights. This is con-
cealed in a tower alongside the track
until the emergency for Its use arises
These towers are placed at intervals,
near sharp curves, or at critical points
at the discretion of the railroad. When
the operator discovers that a lap or
der has been given he could press Il
button and turn on the current which
would release any one OF the signals
miles away, at the same time lighting
the lamp thereon. This Is done by
the simple magnet, which when the
current IL applied draws down the
armature and releases the steel flag
which glides to the center OF the
track by its own weight. In the tower
is telephone. When the engineer
sees the signal he stops his train, the
brakeman climbs to the tower, tele-
phones to the station for orders,
places the signal back In position and
the agent turns Off the current.
