ALASKA IMPORTS MAKE RECORD s4t .. na w Ht
 THIS YEAR

Alaska's commerce with the United States will be increased from $64,- l 799,245 last year to at least $1O0OOO,- 900 this year, and 1t may exceed that sum. The number of passengers go- ing in and out of Alaska will double that of last year. The first seven months of the year showed a tremen- dous improvement in both exports and imports, according to records compiled by the department at Ju- neau, the increases in exports being mainly in the line of copper and other metals. The imports to Alaska this year exceed the figures for 1908-O9, the record years of the country, when the Copper River & Northwestern Railway was under construction.
 The increase in imports this year is due largely to the mining activity at Juneau, where tremendous planta are being installed, augmented by ! lot of material shipped to Anchorage for use in the construction of the government railroad, and an in creased number of small quartz mit's and mining plants shipped to various parts of the territory Gold exports are already $2 COG.OOO ahead of those Of last year. This is accounted for by lne fact that big plants have he gun operations on low grade ores. The increase in copper comes mainly from the Kennicott mines, and Cor dova is shipping at the rate of about $2, 900 000 a month. The increase in the number Of passengers going in and out of the territory this year is due to the fact that Alaska received tremendous amount of advertising when the appropriations for the con struction of the government railroad were passed by Congress. Many tour ists, unable to go to Europe, were at tracted to the North.
