led on Black creek. making three dred- ges in the Iditarod district The most important event in the Ruby district was the completion Of a new dredge on Greensboro creek. As in the past, most Of the gold from Hot Springs dis trict is taken from comparatively few rich placer mines. The same is true of the mining operations in the Koy- ukuk district.
 The most productive mining during 1916 in the Kuskokwim basin was done in the Aniak district. Good returns are said to have been obtained from the placers Of Canyon and Windy creeks \ dredge was shipped for in stallation on Candle creek. in the Tok- otna district. but owing to the dis couraging conditions of transportations only a part Of it's arrived before the close Of navigation.

EkOUaB-y the most important feature Of the year in the Yukon basin was the comparatively large gold output Of the Tolovana and Marshall districts. The Tolovana district is about fifty miles northwest Of Fairbanks. It was dis covered in 1914 and developed in small way in 1915, but made remark able progress in 1916. The principal mining is done on the deep channel of LiYengood creek, which has been trac- d for about two miles. Shortage Of water is the chief difficulty with which rhe miners have to contend. About
 wenry mines were operated in the dis Jrict during the summer Of 1915.
 The Marshall district is on the Yu- aon not Tar from it's delta. Gold was sound ill this district in 1913, but un- il 1s16 the production was very small. Il 1916 some rich placers were develop ed on Willow creek, on which seven plants. employing about 2o0 men. were operated.
 Some excitement was occasioned during the year by the discovery of placer gold in the Tolstoi creek basin Of the Innoko district. The latest re- ports indicate that the only workable placers thus far found in this district are on Bob Creek. and that the pro- duction thus far amounts to only 9 few thousand dollars.
 The principal mining in the Tditarod district is that of a few large operators. In 1916 only fifteen plants were in operation. 4 new dredge was install.

 GOLD PRODUCTION

The annual report on mineral re- sources and production in Alaska for 1916 is now in preparation under the direction of Alfred II. Brooks of the Geological Survey. It shows that the Talue Of the total mineral production of Alaska in 1916 is estimated to have zaen S5osoo,010; that Of 1915 was 2>54,95o. and was itself greater than n any previous year. The increase in la1G was therefore over $1S.0o0.00o, or
 more than 54 percent AItho this en- ormous increase in output was in large measure due to the large tonnage and nigh price of copper. yet nearly all other minerals were produced in great er quantities than in the previous year. During thirty-two years Of mining. Al aska has produced more than S351.-
 30.a10 worth of gold, silver. copper and other minerals
 The data in hand indicates that the falae Of the placer gold output in 1916 0as sIa.64o.uoo: in 1915 .l was s1o.4So-
 8 About 64o placer mines were op- rated in 1916, employing some 460Q men. All 5he older districts appear to nave hsld up or increased their cut put compared with the previous year except Fairbanks. The increased out put, is however, to be credited chiefly 70 the new camps Of Marshall and Tel orana. Thirty-six gold dredges were cp- =raced ia Alaska in 1916, one more sAan in 19I5-2s on Seward Peninsula three il the Iu,arod, and one each in he Ruby. Fairbanks. Circle and Vent na districts. Of these thirty-six dred- ges. four were installed in 1916. It IS estimated that these dredges pro duced between $2.0000Q0 and s2.201,- sao worth Of gold. If the final figures a4ar our this estimate. it indicates a lower recovery per dredge than in the previous year In 1915 the dredges mined S2.330.000 worth Of gold.
 The Alaska camps Of the Yukon ba- s.n are believed to have produced ST. lel,oo5 worth Of gold in 1916, about the same as in 1915. An estimate Of the output of the principal camps is
