ALASKA PRODUCES
VALUABLE MINERALS

In 1917 Alaska produced minerals
valued at $41,760,000. These are
the advance figures issued by the
United States Geological Survey, De-
partment of the Interior, and are
based on estimates made by G. c..
Martin. The value of the mineral
output of Alaska in 1917, although
about s6.S70,0O0 less than that in
1916, was greater than that in any
other year. The most valuable min
eral product in 1917 was copper, of
which SS,200,000 pounds, valued at
$24, 100000, was produced. This is
less than the output of 1916, which
was 119,6O0,000 pounds, valued at
$29,4SO,O00, but is greater than that
of any other year. The reduction is
due largely to labor troubles and is
not necessarily permanent, The gold
Iproduced in 1917, SIS, 100000, of
NHlCH Y',oou,VUV was utllNtu llOih
placer mines, was also less than that
produced in 1916, which was $17,-
240, 0,00O and is the smallest since
1904. The reduction was due chiefly
to curtailment of operations because
of the scarcity of labor and the high
cost of materials, but in part to the
disaster at the Treadwell mine and
the depletion of some of the richer
placers.
During the year Alaska also pro-
duced silver valued at $1,050,000
coal valued at 100000, lead valued
at 100000, tin valued at 100000,
antimony valued at $4,000, and
tungsten, chromium, petroleum, mar
ble gypsum, graphite and platinum
valued at 100000.
During 33 years of mining Alaska
has produced more than 1891, ,OO0,-
600 in gold, silver, copper and other
minerals. OF this amount $685.
000,00 represents the value of the
gold and sSS,2OO,OO0 that of the
copper.
