died with mechanical precision and
supplied along difficult lines of com
munications in such a manner that
nothing was lacking and the troops
kept in condition TO fight series OF
fierce battles and at the same time
cover immense distances on the march.
"If half we heard about the strenu-
BUSINESS of the resistance OF the allies
and the extent of the losses inflicted
on the Germans were true, that
achievement is magnified into some
thing superhuman. What we must not
do is to fall into fresh error about the
power of the German military machine.
Do not let US build too many hopes OIL
the effect of their losses or the in
ereasing length of the lines of COM
munication or the moral effect of the
pressure of the Russians to the east.
1.-THE time has not yet come by long
way when the Germans can be exhaust
ed by our efforts. The situation re-
mains critical, though not desperate, and
with sound, skilful leadership and the
admirable reinforcements that Great
Britain even now is placing in the field
we should be able to continue the
wearing-out process until the moment
arrives for the offensive to be taken.
In the meantime the making of our
new army must proceed night and
day."

ALASKA'S MINERAL
OUTPUT DECREASED
Geological Survey Expert Says
Dry Summer Is Partly Cause
of Decline.

A decrease Of more than $780, 900 in
the value of Alaska's mineral output
for 1913, as compared with the previous
year, is shown by the ANIMAL report
now being prepared under direction of
Alfred H. Brooks Of the United States
Geological Survey.
1t is estimated that the total value
Of the mineral output Of Alaska in 1913
is SIS, 1000, compared with S22,53I, ,S3l
for 1872 The value Of the gold output
is estimated at SIS, $4,000; that Of 1912
was a7,l45,s5L There was also marked
decrease in copper production, that of
1913 being estimated to have ben Is, 700,-
900 pounds. valued at about S3,014,OOo,
while that OF 1sTe was $50, ,4H pounds,
valued at $4.s2S,oS1.
As the Alaska silver output is largely
a by-product Of gold and copper mining,
this also showed a decrease in value
from S316,S39 In 1872 to about $220,0O0 in
1913. Other minerals, including marble,
gypsum, tin, etc, are estimated to have
been produced to the yaiue Of about
$4,000 in 1913 or about the same as
the value of the production OF S9l2.
There are several reasons for the de-
crease OF more than $3,50o,000 In the
value of Alaska's mineral output as
compared with the previous year. The
most important of these Is the condi-
ton of the placer mining industry
which, in spite os the advances made in
lOQG sun I"O-InlTOS
of the gold output Less than 20 per
cent Of the placer gold Is produced by
large plants, the balance being still
won from the rich gravels that can be
profitably mined by hand methods.
Therefore, marked f1uctuation In the
placer gold output is ineAtable, due to
of bonanzas on one hand
and the discovery of new district on
the other. Moreover, these small opera
tions are far more dependent on the
local water supply than are the large
plants.
Under such conditions no stability Of
placer gold production is TO be expected.
The exceptionally dry summer of 1873
and the fact that the bonanza depos-ss
OF Fairbanks district have in a large
mea sure been exhausted account for the
decrease in gold output There is, how
ever, no shortage Of aurifeSous gravels,
but only Of deposits which can be mined
under the present high cost Of opera
tion.
