ALASKA PLACERS
JUST IN Zenith

A. H. Brooks, chief of the United
States Geological Surveys division of
Alaskan mineral resources, has Just
returned from Alaska and reports
that various unfortunate conditions
have led to such curtailment of
gold mining in Alaska during the
last summer as to result in a very
material reduction in the gold output
as compared with that of the previous
year. Accurate statistics will not be
available for several months, but the
preliminary estimates indicate that
the value of Alaskas entire gold pro-
,duction for 1907 will be between
$17,000,000 and 100000, as COM
pared with more than $21 900, 900 in
1906. This loss must be charged for
the most part to the decrease in the
production of the placer mines.
1t is not to be supposed, however,
that Alaska's placers have passed the
zenith of their production. According
to Mr.. Brooks all the evidence points
to the conclusion that greater
annual production than that of 1907
will yet be attained The mining in
dustry has therefore received only a
temporary setback. but it is one from
which it may not recover in less than
year or two.
Mr.. Brooks says: The curtailment
of placer operations can be assigned
to certain definite causes, of which
the difficulty of obtaining adequate
labor is the most important. The
Fairbanks district is the one that suf-
fered most from labor troubles. A
strike was started there on April 81,
just when the gravel accumulated by
ready to be sluiced by use of the
water of the spring freshets. AS a
result many of the winter dumps were
not finally washed out until fall.
This not only prevented the mine
operators from continuing work, but
also put many of the smaller opera
tors into financial difficulties, be-
cause they had counted on the win
ter production to finance the work
during the summer. Labor condi-
tions in the camp gradually adjusted
themselves during the summer, but
throughout the open season there
was lack of experienced miners.
When the strike began about 1900
men. it is said. left Fairbanks, most
