ALASKA'S MINERAL
OUTPUT LAST YEAR

The United States Geological Sur.
vey has just issued, as an advance
chapter from "Mineral Resources of
the United States,' report by AL
fred II. Brooks on the mine production
of precious and semi-precious metals
in Alaska in 1912. Metalliferous min.
ing in Alaska, says Mr.. Brooks. made
important advances last year. AL
though the output of gold placers was
less than in 1911, the installation of
large plants, notably of dredges, in
many districts is encouraging for the
future of this industry. More import
ant was the progress made in lode gold
mining, the output of which was
greater than in previous years. Cop
per mining also advanced, partly be-
cause several large plants increased
their output, partly because q num-
Der of small mines were developed on
account of the high price of copper.
The development of the coal fields
still awaits the establishment of a
definite policy in regard to the dispo-
sition of the public coal lands. The
delay in securing cheap fuel for the
territory has now for many wears
caused stagnation in many indus
tnes. Railway construction and, to a
certain extent, railway operation have
stopped and many mining enterprises
have been hampered if not entirely
abandoned on account Of the uncer-
tainty as to the fuel problem. Very
few Aiaskans have any direct interest
In coal claims or in mining, but the
entire population of the territory is
desirous of seeing the coal fields de-
veloped. because it is believed that
this will bring about advancement in
many other industries. Above all. it
will encourage the operation and the
construction of railways, which are
all important to the territory.
The total mine production of gold.
silver and copper in Alaska in 1912
was valued at $22, 2,2s5,82 against
$20,505,664 in 1911, an increase of
81 ,7S0,15S The value of the gold nro-
duction of Alaska last year is esti-
mated at $17.145,951, that of silver
at s316,s39. In 1911 the output of
gold was valued at $16,S53, ,256. The
copper output of Alaska for 1912 was
29,23O, ,49l pounds, valued at $4,s23.-
OBJ, an increase from 1911 of 1862 .6l3
pounds.

CENTURIES OF PIRACIES
IN PHILIPPINE ISLANDS

Probably the aunties who want to
bestow independence at once upon the
Filipino tribes speaking different Ian
guages, and in some cases hostile to
each other, have never looked into the
history of the inhabitants of the
islands. The Philippine Bulletin in a
recent number gives a sketch of the
character and customs of the Moros of
Mindanao and Suiu, written by a
U. 8. army officer who has seen
long service in the archepeiago. For
hundreds of years the Moros have
been pirates. They issued from a
group of islands where the creeks,
shadows, headlands, rocks and reefs
afforded a base for attack and refuge,
and at times almost succeeded in driv-
ing the Spanish out. Over 800 years
ago they overran the Visaya islands,
Cebu, Negros and ransy, an. Span
ish expedition against them failed af
ter operations lasting for months. A
Spanish armada of seventy vessels
next made an attack and was but part
ly successful. At length steam navi-
CATION gave the Spaniards an advan-
tage, enabling them to limit the pratt
cal raids in which many Christians
wer captured and enslaved. The
Moros are wreckers as well as pirates,
and their false lights in the channels
have destroyed hundreds Of vessels
