UNCLE SAM HAS GOOD
BALANCE IN TREASURY

Washington, Jan. 1.-Unce Sam
closed his accounts for the year Of
1912 with plenty of money in his peck
cts and balance sheet of receipts and
expenditures that bespoke the pros !
perity of the nation.
For the first half OF the current fis-
cal year. ending yesterday, dishurse-
ments exceeded receipts by between
81, 100000 and 100000, according TO
estimates of treasury officials. The
exact figures for December 81 are not
available. The deficit year ago. on
the other hand, was over $21, 391 900.
This Improvement over last year Is due
to the remarkable increase In customs
and Internal receipts. during the past
six months. Receipts from all sorces
from July to December We're approx
mately 1858, coo. 900. or more. than S23,-
000,001 greater than during the CORE
spending period Of 1911.
The aggregate expenditures for the
six months ending yesterday were
about 1856 100000. This was nearly
100000 greater than for the same Pc
riod last year. the increase being due
to large expenditures for the army. and
the increased pension payments as q
result of the pension legislation of the
last congress.
The general fund of the govern
ment today continued upwards OF
$40, 0oo, 900, while a year ago It held
only s126926 600. The working bal
ance of the treasury, which is the act
ual cash in Uncle Sans pocketbook
today amounted to about sSs,0o000O
The year 1911 closed with a work ing
balance of s7f. 745, 900.
The treasury holds about s1,353,66 :
o00 IN gold.
This includes sl50,0oo,ooo in the re-
serve fund, the greater part of the re-
mainder being represented by gold GER
tificates in circulation.

tion. 1t is significant, however, that
the output In Seward peninsula Was
practically the same as that of 1911.
The maintenance of this output IN
Seward peninsula is TO be credited TO
the installation of dreages, which was
continued in 1912 as in the previous
year. The data at hand indicate that
in 1912 about 40 dredges We're operated
in Alaska, besides a number of others
under construction. OF these, three

Although the output from the Fair
banks placers has decreased, there was
far greater activity IN lode mining and
prospecting than In the previous year.
Most Of the operations We're conducted
on a small scale, and the total output
of gold was not large but very con-
siderable amount Of development work
was accomplished during the year. In
1912 six stamp mills. aggregating "a
stamps were operated for a part of the
year, and six other mills We're being in

Of these were put into commission be-
fore the close of the year. Statistics
at hand indicate that the average re-
covery of free gold from these opera
tions Is about $50 n ton. In only two
places are tire concentrates being saved
though they undoubtedly contain addi-
tional gold.
Lode prospecting has continued with
increasing activity during the year. and
probably more than 200 meen were en-
gagged In this work. As result a num-

Placer Mining.

The returns from the Alaska placer
mines are far from being complete, but
the information at hand indicates that
the value of the output in 1912 was half
Il million dollars less than that of the
previous year. This decrease in pro-
duction is due to the fact that the out
put from the Fairbanks and Innoko-
Iditarod regions was considerably less
in 1912 than in 1911. On the other hand
a discovery of rich placer ground WAS
made in the Koyukuk district, and
promising finds We're made in the Ruby
district and the Innoko Iditarod region.
Moreover. the two years work brought
additional proof of the adaptabiity of
the dredge for placer mining in differ
ent parts of the territory.
