ALASKA MINERAL DEPOSITS
 AND MINERAL PRODUCTION

Bulletin No. 592-A, "The Mineral De posts of Alaska and the Alaska Mining In dustry in 1913" has just been received. It IS issued by the United Statse Geological Survey, and, as usual with publications of that organization, contains some valuable information Speaking of the output of the Iditarod district for the year 1913, the re- port says:
 "As in the other Yukon camps the short age of water greatly hampered operations in the Iditarod district This condition, to- gether with the fact that certain claims were not worked because they were being combined for the purpose of exploiting them in a large way led to great curtailment of gold output compared with the previous year The value of the gold produced Tn the Iditarod district was about S1,S60000 There was some prospecting of lode claims and some promising deposits have been found, but the cost of mining IS so great that few have been attracted to quartz de velopment.
 "The largest part of the gold produced in the Iditarod district came from the mines on Otter and Flat creeks, but mining was also done on Happy, Willow, Moore, Chicken and Black creeks and Glenn gulch. Most of the mining is done in open cuts, steam scrapers being extensively used"
