ALASKA IN 1919

Alaska's gold fields give every promise of increased production in 1919, according to a review of Alaskan mining in 1918 issued re gently by J. L. McPherson, secre- tary of the Alaska Bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce.
 Gold, coal, copper, silver and other mines of Alaska were hit hard by the war. "There is no truth in the report however, that no min ing was done in Alaska in 19l8,' Mir. McPherson declared. "De spite the shortage of labor and transportation, the high cost of ma terials and supplies, mining de velopment in Alaska during 1918 showed material progress in the opening of many new properties and the enlargement of plants and equipment"
 Copper miners were busy during the year. according to the review. The Kennicott Copper Corporation started driving a tunnel to connect the world famous Bonanza mine with the Mother Lode workings.
 During the year the corporation employed about $50 men, and al- though paying the highest wages in the history of lode mining in Alaska, has operated short handed, due to the shortage of labor. In the Prince William Sound district, the report said, copper mines were SC riously handicapped by the lack of transportation facilities. Despite this handicap, the Granby company built tramway 28,360 feet long the longest in Alaska from the Midas mine to tidewater on Valdez Bay and equipped the mine for larger output.
 Two Alaska gold districts, the Willow. creek in the Susitna, and the Tolovana, near Nenana, pro- duccd about $2O0,OO0 worth of gold during the year. the review said Circle City, Alaska's old reliable placer camp, had one of its most prosperous seasons. Rich pay was reported struck on the Tolatna river in the kuskokwim country; on Nixon Fork and on Wetketchum creek. In the famous Nome coun- try on the Seward Peninsula, short age of water was felt by the oper- ators. Dime creek. a new camp, was one of the most active mining districts on the Peninsula in 1918.
 In the Alaska coal country much work was done during the year, the reveiw stated. The Alaskan En- gineering commission let contracts for the delivery of 6,O0O tons of Nenana coal from properties re- gently opened on the line of the -----'------------->-----
