AThe season of mining in Alaska has
been a prosperous one" says Alfred
H. Brooks, geologist in charge of the
Alaska work of the United States geo
logical survey, who has just returned
to Washington from his annual Swing
around the circle in the far north
west. "While dry weather and other
unfavorable conditions have curtailed
the placer gold production at Nome.
most of the other camps have either
maintained or increased their output.
Figures Of gold output are not yet
available. but it seems probable that
the production for 1909 will be be-
tween nineteen and twenty million
dollars. The low price of copper has
not encouraged mining of that metal.
but about half a dozen properties ship
ped ore during 1909. 1t appears proba-
BILE that the Alaska copper output for
the year will exceed 100000 pounds"
