about mile of new road has occupied
attention to the exclusion of under
ground work. This was necessary in
order to get above the creek level and
thus avoid a repetition Of damage by
high water This work was nearing
completion when he left the property
and will be followed by a resumption
of work in the long crosscut This
has now been advanced about 900
feet and should reach the vein within
200 feet and probably less. Harry

MINING IN ALASKA, 1918
DECREASE IN OUTPUT
SMALLEST PRODUCTION SINCE
1914-GREATEST SLUMP
IN COPPER.

The Alaskan mining industry In
1918 has just been set forth in detail
in a report by the U. S. Geological
survey, department of the interior.
Regular mining may be said to have
begun in Alaska in 1880, when The
Juneau gold placers were first exploit
ed 1t is estimated that since that
time mineral wealth has been produce
ed to the value of more than $4l8,-
100000.
The mineral production of the ter
rltory in 1918 was valued at only
$2S,253,961. This output was almost
$l2,500,000 less than that for 1917 and
was the smallest since 1914 The de-
crease was chiefly in copper, the pro-
duction OF which fell from S8,7S2, 400
pounds, valued at $24,240,59S, in 1917,
to 69,224,951 pounds, valued at $17,-
09S,563, in 1918. The reduction in the
output of copper was due to shortage
of labor and ships. The production of
gold decreased from 709,050 ounces
valued at $14,657, 1853, in 1917 to 49,
GAL ounces. valued at $9,4S0,953 in
1913, and was the smallest since 1904.
The reduction in the output of gold
was due chiefly to curtailment of OPP
erations because of the scarcity of la
Dor and the high cost of materials.
All Minerals Decrease.
There was reduction in the out
put of silver and lead due to the de-
crease in gold and copper. The pro-
duction of tin, tungsten. and antimony
showed considerable decrease, the
production of anthony practically
ceasing because of the inability of
the producers in the interor of Alaska
to compete with the cheaper foreign
product. The production of coal in
creased from 1886 tons, valued at
$265,317, in 1917 to 1896 tons, valued
ut Sal $50 in 1918, and was the
largest in the history of mining in
Alaska. Petroleum continued to be
produced from the single patented
claim near Katalla, and the. local re-
finery was operated ON about the Gus
tomary scale THE production of
marble and gypsum in southeastern
Alaska was somewhat less than in
1916. Chromite was mined in about
the same amount as in 1917. The pro-
duction of platinum, which was begun
in 1916, continued on an increased
scale, chiefly from the placers in
Seward Peninsula. A considerable
amount of palladium was recovered
from copper ore from southeastern
Alaska.

BLACK BEAR DECISION
ALLOWS BERNlER CLAIM.
CONTINUED from Page ~

Der of the stockholders had paid the
assessment and were entitled to have
it refunded to them, the court ap.
pointed L. L. Brainard, secretary OF
the company, as a trustee to refund
the assessment to the stockholders
who had paid.
New Company Must Pay.
In the accounting of the claim OF
Bernier for alleged salary and travel
ing expenses, the court held that un-
der resolution of the board of direct
ors of the Black Bear Consolidated
Mining Company, Limited, that the
salary of the president and manager
was fixed at the sum of $50 per
month, beginning on January L. 1916
in addition to travelling expenses that
might be incurred in prosecuting the
business of the company. That on
March 7, 1917, the Black Bear Mines
company acquired and succeeded ia
all the property Of the Black Bear
Consolidated Company, Limited, and
expressly assumed all the debts and
obligations of the old company, in
Guiding hte amount of the salary due
Bernier at that time or to become due
in the future. That under the resolu-
ton of the board of directors of the
old company, Bernier performed SER
vices as president and manager of the
Black Bear Consolidated Mining Com
pany Limited. and the Black Bear
Mines company, its successor, from
the LIST day Of January, 1916, to De-
cember ~, 1918. when by resolution
of the board of directors of the new
company, the salary of a president
and manager was discontinued, at the
rate of $3.50 per month, less period
of six weeks, during which time he
was employed in the government ship
yards at Seattle, leaving a period OF
two years and 10 months during
which time he was entitled to a sal
airy from the Black Bear Mines COM
pany amounting to $500, or a reduc-
tion of 1910 from his original claim.
That under said resolution of the
board of directors of the old company
Rernier had expended $1612.21 fol
travelling expenses during this period
of time, OF reduction of $4S5.70 from
his original claim.
The sum of $1055 advanced to the
two companies between December 23
1916, and December II. 1918, and
which was admitted by the defendants
was also allowed, making an aggre-
gate sum of $776721, or $6957O, less
than the original claim made by Ber-
ner, for which he was given judgment
and which bears interest at the rate
of per cent from December II, 1918
In response to a question regarding
the next move, Secretary Brainard
stated that steps are being taken to
protect the interests of the stockhold-
ers and that definite plan of action
would probably be adopted and an
nounced in a few days.

JACK WAITE.
Hauling Ore for Shipment to Railroad
at Prichard.

ftauling Ore TOR Shipment to Railroad
at Prichard.
The Jack Waite Mining company
shipped a carload of ore few days
ago and the company plans to con-
tinue shipments during the winter.
The ore Is hauled to the railroad at
Prichard, distance of about fourteen
miles The ore averages about so per
cent lead, but the silver value is low.
The company is understood to have a
large amount of ore available for
shipment, but since the railroad was
washed out almost two years ago the
long haul has made shipments prac-
ticaly prohibitive This has now been
overcome to some extent by the inn
proved prices of lead and silver, The
reconstruction OF the railroad up
Prichard creek would cut off about
-four miles of the haul. Efforts are
being made to induce the railroad COM
pany to restore the line, but it is not
likely that anything will be done in
that respect until next spring at best.
High Grade Silver.
Frank Franz has returned from Sill
vertone, B. c., where he and his bro
Their. Joseph Franz, are developing a
very promising silver property. 1t is
reported that they have ore that runs
1900 ounces in silver, being small
stringer In a well defined vein. A

of high grade ore.
