The great Gamboa dyke, the last
remaining obstruction separating the
waters of the Atlantic and Pacific
oceans, was blown up at an early
hour today The event was the ac-
casion of general celebration through
out the Isthmus. Much digging and
cleaning out remains to be done in

this will be accomplished by mann
moth dredges floating on the sur

| 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 were conducted
on small scale and the total output
Of gold was not large but q very con =
siderable amount of development work
was accomplished during the year. In
1912 six stamp mills, aggregating p
stamps, were operated for a part Of the
stalled in the late summer and some
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
tons is about $50 ton. In only tw@
places are the concentrates being say
ed, though they undoubtedly contain
additional gold.
Lode prospecting has continued with
increasing activity during the year and
probably more than 200 men were en-
gagged in this work. AS a result q
number of quartz veins were disclosed
some of which promise we'll The not
able features of the lodes are their
great number, small size and high ten
or. Most of the veins from which free
gold can be obtained by panning are
composed almost entirely of quartz
with sulphides either absent or pres
ent only in subordinate amounts Stib-
mite is the most common of the sui
phides. Most of the veins have been
discovered in two areas-one stretch
ing east and west from Pedro dome
and the other in the vicinity of Ester
dome. 1t seems probable, however
that this distribution may be account
ed for by the localization of the pros
pecting rather than by the actual lin
itations of the distribution Of aurfer-
GUS veins. But few Of the richer veins

In accordance with an act at cou-
gresS the Alaska Railway commission
was appointed about the first OF Sep
telnber and spent about three months
In the territory investigating railway
routes and conditions of transporta-
ton. The report of this commission is
in preparation,
II is estimated that there were about
- gold lode mines in Alaska that made
some production in 1872, 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 output
from the auriferous lodes in 1912 is
believed to be about $4,000 900, an in
crease of about 100000 over that OF
the previous year. This increase must
in large measure he credited to the
Treadwell group Of mines, but there
was also considerable production
from various small properties in diff
ferent districts.
