Transportation.

Except for the continuation of the work of the Alaska Road Commission in the building of wagon roads and trails, there was no marked improve ment in transportation facilities dur ing the year. The total railway mile age for Alaska in 1912 is 465, the same as in the previous year. Most of the railways operated, except those in Seward peninsula. The Copper River & Northwestern was blocked by land slides for about six weeks in the early fall.
 In accordance with an act of Cno- gress the Alaska Railway Commis' sion was appointed about the first of September and spent about three months in the Territory Investigating railway routes and conditions of trans portation The report of this com mission is in preparation.
 GoId-Lode Mining.
 It is estimated that there were about 22 gold-lode mines in Alaska that made some production in 1912, compared with IS in 1911. In addition to this, development work was done on many lode prospects widely distributed over the Territory. The value of the out put from the auriferous lodes in 1912 is believed to be about $4,6OO,OOO, m increase of about $4OOOOO over that of the previous year. This increase must in large measure be credited to the Treadwell group of mines, but there was also a considerable produc- tion from various small properties in different districts.
