IDIYAR0D OUTPUT
 IS OVER S2,OOO,OOO

IDITAROD, Dec 5.--The total gold production of the Iditarod district for the year 1914 win prove somewhat of disappointment According to ii- gures compiled from reliable sources, the total shipment of gold rom Idit- arod were $2.05S,S90.40, whereas it was freely predicted early in the season that the final figures would show a production Of S250000O, and some en. thusiae.s even prophecied that it would reach $3.OoQ000 The seasons out- put is but little greater than that for 1918 despite the fact that weather conditions wore excellent for open-cut mining throughout the district.
 The main reason inscribed to the failing off in the expected outpu. is that the two dredges were compelled by unfortunate circumstances to close down much earlier than was expected. The Yukon Gold Company's dredge. on Flat Creek, operated fully three weeks longer last year than this and the dredge of Riley & Marston, on Otter creek. was compelid to close down much earlier than was expecled, owing to accidents to the machinery. Weather conditions would have per. mitted the operation of both dredges until the present time, and it is not at all likely that they could have been operating until the present time, and 1t is moi at all unlikely that they could have been operating up til the first of the year. as there has been no se- were cold weather as yet.
 Another reason why the output did not reach expectations is that the op- eradoD Of the Otter Creek dredge practically put an end to open-cut mln- ing or that creek. and thus with the output of the dredgo curtaiied the re- turns from that creek were very large ly reduced
 It is not at all unlikely that anoth. er dredge win be installed in the dis trict the coming season. and In that ease much more ground win be work ed next year whom the output should greatly exceed that Of the year just closed.-d ddltarod Pionee-)
