JUNEAU MINI: |S DESCRIBED AS
 AFAILURE:

Syndicate articles are appearing in numerous newspapers of the States attacking the Jackling properties. par ticularly the Alaska Gold The follow ing was released by the Boston News Bureau and printed in Eastern papers .-
 Tt is not surprising in view of the disappointing exhibit made by Alaska Gold for the three months ended Sep ternber 30 that the stock sponld drop, to new low levels, around S2hn4
 There are s3,OOO,OOO bonds, which have recently sold down to 5S. At the low price for both bonds and stock, Alaska Gold has a stock market selling value of less than $4o0O, 900.
 Alaska Gold represents a capital investment of O,5OO,O00-75O, 900 shares at $10 per shore and $3Ooo,- 900 bonds at par. This is on top of the investment made by the Alaska Gastineau people before control was sold to the new interests.
 That even the brightest minds in the mining industry an the best en- gineering talent can sometimes make mistakes is we'll exemplified in the failure of Alaska Gold.
 There is nothing the matter with the milling process or with the gen eral operating scheme. It is simply a case of the ore running from so to 75 cents per ton less in gold than had been figured on.
 For the quarter ended September 30 the ore averaged but $1.01 per ton. The final net profit per ton was only 1.6 cents, or a total of $S.795 for the three months output which of course, was insufficient to provide bond in- terest of $S7,500, to say nothing of sinking fund requirements.
 There is a further item to be talk en into account, known as deferred charges to operations which appears only in the annual report. This rep resents development charges which are not made part of current ex- penses. On December 31. 1916. these charges had amounted to S746.255. and must, of course, some day be talk en care of, as they represent an oper- ating charge and are not properly capitalizable.
 There is no disgusting the fact that Alaska Gold has been a huge disappointment. although the reports continue to hold out faint possibil- ity that better results may be some day forthcoming. News Bureau.
