 SIX MILLION DOLLARS IN PLACER
 GOLD.
 The value of the placer gold pro duced in Alaska in 1918 was about S5,9OO,OOO. The production in 1917 was $9,S1O,000. The decrease in 1918 was general turnout the territory, except ill the Copper river and Vent na districts and some of the smaller Yukon districts. The decrease was due mainly to curtailment of opera tions because of shortage of labor, high cost of supplies, and uncertainty as to future conditions. Local decreases were due also to unfavorable climatic conditions and to the depletion ot some of the richer placers.
 It is estimated by the U. S. Geo. logical Survey, department of the in- terior, that about 574 placer mines were operated in the summer of 1918 and 153 during the previous winter, but many for only part of the season. About 5000 men were engaged in pro- NuNtANC PidSCl III tut and 613 in the winter. In addition several hundred men were engaged in prospecting or other nonproductiS e work relating to placer mining.

 The Alaskan mining indurlry in 1918 has just been set forth in de- tail in report by the U. s. Geologic al Survey. department of the inle- lior. Regulac mining may be said to have begun in Alaska in 1880, when the Juneau gold placers were first exploited. It is estimated that since that time mineral wealth has been produced to the value or molc than $41S,000.O00.

GOLD DREDGING IN ALASKA. Production in 1918 Amounted te
 Nearly $1,5O0,OOO.

Twenty-eight gold dredges were op- erated in Alaska in 1918, producing $1, ,425,O0 worth of gold, according to a report on the Alaskan Mining Industry just issued by the U. s. Geological Survey, department of tho interior. Twenty-one dredges were in Seward Peninsula, three in the Iditarod district, and one each in the Fairbanks, Circle, Yentna and Kuskokwim districts. These dredges handled about 2,49O,0OO cubic yards of gravel In 1917, 36 dredges handled 3,700,000 cubic yards of gravel and re- covered gold worth $2,500,000. The average recovery of gold per cubic yard was about 57 cents in 1918 and 6S cents in 1917. The gold dredges of Seward Peninsula produced gold worth $466,000 from 1,164,000 cubic yards of gravel, making an average recovery of 40 cents cubic yard in 1918. The dredges of the Alaska Yu- kon districts produced gold worth $SS1, ,OOO from 1,125.OOO cubic yards oi gravel, with value per cubic yard of about 78 cents,
 Tho dredges were built for use in tho Alaska Yukon as early as 1898 and at Nome in 1900, this method oi placer mining did not reach a profit able stage until 1903, when two small dredges were successfully op- erated in Seward Peninsula. Dredging began in the Fortymile district in 1907; in the Iditarod, Birch creek and Fairbanks district in 1912: in the Yentna district in 1916; and in the Kuskokwim region in 1918. A new diedge was installed in the Fair banks district in 1918 and may have begun operating late in the season The new dredge on Candle creek, in the Kuskokwim region, was complet. ed in 1918 and operated for a short period. Up to the end of 1918 gold to the value of $19,035,0 ,0O0 had beer mined by dredges. The relatively low recovery of the dredges in 191s was due to the unusual amount oi frozen ground encountered in Seward Peninsula. and in part to the ex' haustion of the relatively rich ground which had been dredged al Ruby in previous years.

HIGH COST RETARDS PRODUCTION

'As all of us who are Interested have recognized several years said Mr. Wood in conclusion, the great
 increased cost of mining machinery, food, clothing, in fact of supplies of all knds has largely increased the cost of gold mining operations, that only the riches ground can be worked at a To work any other kind is court disaster and is direct loss of money to any operator who attempts it. The production of this dis trict while not seriously cut has been evidenced m other sections of the territory, shows how badly the dis trict has been hit by conditions which advanced t1 of everything used by the miner while not advanc inc the price of god which is what he is producng T. is to be hoped that satisfactory adjustment will h reached by which either the cost of mining machinery a supplies will be materially lowered the miners givo more equitable price for gold.
 ''Nith anything like break,' declared M Wood "next should be good one in the histo- of the camp.'

CABINET AUTHORIZES GARFIELD TO ISSUE OFFICIAL STATEMENT
 THURSDAY REGARDING DECISION

WASHINGTON, Nov 26.-(P-O Late Wire)-As result of the cabinet conference the coal situation, Fuel Administrator Garfield this evening proposed to the miners and operators that wage increase of fourteen per cent be allowed the workers This increase said Mr. Garfield must be borne entirely by the operators who cannot and must not advance prices to the public.
 Following the proposal of the fuel administrator, President Lewis, of the United Mine Workers asked Mr. Garfield if the intended to repudate the of fer of 2 per increase made by Secretary Wilson MT. Garfield replied, ''Secretary Wilson at sug gestion in the cabinet meeting, decided that the proposition is just and fair both to the workers and the operators'
 Following the adjournment of the meeting, Mr. Lewis declared that the miners will not accept the proposton Other labor leaders characterized the plan insult Alexander Howatt, representing the Kansas district of coal miners said, Eve ready to go home and fight it out to the last breath.'

All of this is open work and the operators getting their ground in shape for next seasons operations. Quite production is expected from there in the next year two The holds good for the Bonnifield.

OIL DRILLING IN ALASKA

The petroleum produced Tn Alaska is derived wholly from a single pat cntcd claim in the Katalla oil field, according to the U. s. Geological ulVey, department of the interior. he old wells on this claim and the nney were operated as usual in .01S. Two new productive wells were Il 0 drilled in the Katalla field. The total production in 1918 was somewhat larger than in 1917.

BELOW ESTIMATE

''The total production" said MT. Wood, lis prob ably $15OOOO below the estimates that formed last spring when the seasons work fairly under head way This is not attributable to any failure in the re- of the district but to serious shortage of water particularly in the Tolovana where the operators handicapped practically all season by having no wa ter supply. In fact thousands of dollars are ill the dumps several creeks in that section of the district and will not be cleaned up until next year Had that section had the water to make its cenups it alone would have increased its production than enough to make up for the shortage from the original estimates.
 OPEN. CUT WORK A SUCCESS
 "An open cut work in this vicinity yielded splend- results" said MT. Wood n fact all operators engaged in this kind of mining preparing to work even mo extensively next than done during the past one. Goldstream, according to Mr. Wood is attracting many open cut operators it is in range of railroad transportation for supplies and fuel which makes opera lions cheaper than in more inaccessible places.
 MORE DREDGES PROPOSED.
 ''There is movement on foot," said Mr.. Wood, ' put dredge on Cleary next year. On this creek alone is estimated that there eight miles of dredging grou of proven value This will lead into other creeks vii great quantities of dredging possibilities Above this is several miles of ground which is too deep to be handle by the dredges being used at present but which vii eventually be worked by hydraulics, dragne scrapers some other method that proves to be economical and satsfactOrv

NEW CREEKS PROMISING


 Mr. Woods statement Steel creek carries good values and for the first time in the history of the camp produced some gold this year, but nothing in comparison to the value of the ground there which juses the belief that when conditions favorable it will add thousands to the camps output. Happy creek is another from which better returns may be expected when the present adverse conditions have been overcome.
 "Schoeser, Kinney and Gils, who have been drilling on Dome from below to 15 below," said MT. Wood are confident that they have located the lost pay streak the second tier the right limit of the creek They preparing to take out winter dump."
 More drifting is proposed on Big Eldorado as well as Little Eldorado and lots of open cut work will be done there next year, according Mr. Wood Fish creek has good vaues showing dirt running 70 cents per foot and there are acres and of it.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-Q4o-Fue Adminstra- tor Garfield will make public tomorrow the governments definite and final statement in the coal wage controversy The statement is authorized by the cabinet which has had the question under consideration for the past few days
 Altho it is impossible to obtain any authentic in formation concerning the statement it is expected that 1t will resemble utmatum and compel the miners and operators to to agreement. It is believed that the operators will be asked bear practically all of the wage increase without advancing the price of coal It is contended by many that the mine easily do this of the excessive profits made by them during the past few years
 The general understanding is that Garfield his point for increase of only twenty to twenty-five per cent in the miners wages against the thrtyone per cent proposed by Secretary Wilson. The increased mended by Secretary Wilson meets the approval of the miners but many think that they will also accept the smaller advance in it is offered them In inter- view this afternoon Administrator Garfield said that
 may possibly be several weeks before final settcmc of the controversy be reached This delay will b. occasoned by the necessity of the miners representative referring the offer back convention of the various locals.
