MINERAL PRODUC-
ton OF RUSSIA

The following report on the mineral
output of Russia is made by John H.
Snodgrass, United States consul gen
eral at Moscow:
Statistics recently issued by the
government show that the gold produc-
tion of Russia in 1909 amounted to L.
2S4,912 ounces, an increase of III 500
ounces over 1908; platinum, 134,7S4
ounces; copper, 40,572,000 pounds, an
increase of 2,630,000 pounds.
During the first seven months of
1910 the output of copper was 80,
664, 900 pounds, compared with 21,744,-
600 pounds for the corresponding
period of 1909, an inrease of 7,920,00
pounds. The imports of copper into
the empire consist principally of cleo
trolytic copper which is now produced
at only two Russian works, but the
production of which is making gradu-
al progress. In 1901 Russia imported
29,520, 900 pounds of copper; in 1907,
1892, 800 pounds, and in 1909 only T.
$3.50 pounds.
The production of iron also shows
notable progress, chiefly in the south
of Russia, and the Ural district, and in
1909 the output, as well as the home
consumption, reached the highest level
known, being above that of the banner
year 1904. In 1904 Russia produced
2,461,1 45 tons of iron; in 1908, $685.
500 tons; in 1909, 1905, 129 ons Dur
ing the first four months of 1910 the
output was 922 1873 tons, as compared
with s25, 1922 tons in the corresponding
period of 1909.
There were 3,117,742 tons of pig
iron produced in the empire in 1909,
against 3,193, 54s tons in 1904, when
the production reached the highest
level in the history of the country.
The preliminary data for the first
half of 1910 show a considerable in
crease as compared with the same
period of 1909 and 1904, as follows:
Pig iron, 1904, 1,454,s39 tons; 1909,
l.4l2.9O3 tons; 1910, 1887 ,097 tons.
Half products. 1904, 1,503, 225 tons
tons; 1909, 1,4sS,70 tons 1910,
tom
Manufactured iron, 1904, 1,259,6I7
tons: 1909, l,279,035 tons; 1910, j.
443 ,54s tons.
The production of coal in European
Russia in 1905 aggregated 24,os0,645
tons, compared with 24,~677,419 tons in
1908, a decrease of 596,774 tons. TIT
output in European Russia for the
first quarter of 1910 was 6,255,s0d
tons, against $685. 09 tons for the
same period of 1909, a decrease OF
ll2,903 tons. The falling off in the
production is due to the decreasing
consumption of this mineral by the
Russian railways, which are now using
naptha for fuel on recount of the pre-
vailing low prices of This product.

NEW COPPER AND GOLD
MINES IN ALASKA

Copper and gold prospects in the vi
cinity of Prince William sound, Alas
ka, may make that region an import
ant producing center for those metals.
Two copper mines and one gold mine
are already in active operation there
and a number of other properties have
made shipments of copper ore.
Valdez and Cordova are the two
most important settlements in this re-
gion. From Valdez three lines of rail
way have been projected to tap the
copper country, but only a few miles
% track have been laid. From Cor
dcvia the Copper River and Northwest
erh railway has built about $50 miles
of line eastward and northward across
the Copper river delta, passing Ala
ganik, near which is Mckinley Lake,
where there are several gold pros
poets.
Four smaller towns, a few Indian
villages and a number of mining
camps complete the census of settle
ments about the sound.
Copper is the most important metal
found in the district. 1t was first dis
covered in 1897, and the prospect first
located was developed into the Ella.
mar mine, now one of the two produc.
ing mines. The second mine, the Bo'
nanza, was located in the same year
and both have been worked CONNER
eially since 1900. In 1908, the latest
year for which production is given il
the report, 1924 1853 pounds of copper
valued at $1i4,s95, were exported from
the Prince William sound region
These figures however, represent less
than half the amount and value of the
metal extracted in the previous year
Since this report was printed the an
nual copper production of Prince vii
liam sound has much increased IL
value.-Geological Survey.

three men digging grave in an old
cemetery on the shores of Pelham
bay lorbor, the police chased them in
a launch for miles today, only to lose
them in a haze on Long Island Sound.
The fact that the cemetery had
